About Me 👩🏼

Me and my wonderful fiancé, Jeremy! 👰🏼‍♀️💍🤵🏼‍♂️

✾✿✽❀❁❃❊❋ꕥ✾✿✽❀❁❃❊❋ꕥ✾✿✽❀❁❃❊❋ꕥ✾✿✽❀❁❃❊❋ꕥ✾✿✽❀❁❃❊❋ꕥ

I'm a member of Mrs. Grossman's Sticker Club! You can use code STICKERFRIEND for $5 off your first month at this link if you'd like to join. (I don't make money off of this, just sharing some stickery happiness!)


Hello! My name is Heidi and I've loved being here on swap-bot for the past few years. I graduated from college in December of 2021 and I currently work as a Christian preschool teacher. My dream is to be a stay-at-home mom!

I have a little bunny named Dumbledore (or Dumby for short) and a long-haired blonde hamster named Pancake. I also have notoriously neat handwriting. Some people have told me that it looks like a font or something printed off of the computer! I love handwriting penpal letters and swaps :)

I am a Christian and my faith is the most important thing in my life. I enjoy Bible journaling, keeping a prayer journal, and having fellowship with others. I am always willing to talk about Jesus to anyone who will listen! ✝️💒🛐

I LOVE the color pink💖 (it's my favorite color), hot air balloons 🎈, rainbows🌈, and strawberries🍓! If you send me anything with those on it I will love it!

Postcards💌

If you're sending a postcard, I enjoy these themes:

📌 Touristy from the area or country you live in (top favorite!)
⛪️ Churches, chapels, monasteries
📫 Maxi cards
✉️ Postcards with interesting stamps
🖼 Stained glass windows
✝️ Christian Saints
🕊 Christian iconography
🍓 Strawberries
🐹 Hamsters, squirrels, bunnies, chipmunks
🗺 Postcrossing meetups
🦋 Butterflies
🌸 Flowers
🌈 Rainbows or rainbow-colored things
✨ Special postcards (cork, wood, lenticular, shaped, seed packet, things like that)
(If you want to send me a previously used postcard, feel free to put a piece of paper over the back and reuse it!)

I frequently host Postcrossing meetups in the Dallas Fort Worth, Texas area with my friends. My username on Postcrossing is also heidiblooms, check out the forum there or send me a message if you are interested in coming to an in-person meetup with fellow postcard lovers!

Tea🫖☕️

☕️ I love tea! I try to drink a cup every day and I've loved "tasting the world" through the teas that other lovely swappers have sent to me. Some of my favorites have been:
☕️ Fruit-flavored (blueberry, orange, strawberry, etc.)
☕️ Floral (lavender, chamomile, hibiscus, rose, jasmine)
☕️ Chocolate mint
☕️ I have no tea dislikes besides licorice

Swapping With Me✉️

I always send my swaps out either by the due date or right after partners are assigned! If you live in the US, please let me know if you haven't received my swap 2 weeks after the deadline. If you are international, feel free to send me a message if it's been a while and you haven't received anything.

Feel free to send me a message if you're a newbie and would like to do a private swap with me, I know it can be hard to get ratings under your belt when you first join.

I trade and accept excess of the following:
* Friendship books / sheets
* Traveling postcards
* Slams
* Crams

Wishlist ✨

Just a few special things I've been looking for!

  • Prayer cards (usually the size of a playing card, they have a Christian image on the front and a prayer on the back)
  • "Please deliver to" labels for writing addresses
  • Stationery paper
  • Return address labels
  • Strawberry, blueberry, or orange flavored teas
  • Blank postcards
  • I teach preschool, so teacher reward and children's stickers are MORE than welcome! 🖍

✾✿✽❀❁❃❊❋ꕥ✾✿✽❀❁❃❊❋ꕥ✾✿✽❀❁❃❊❋ꕥ✾✿✽❀❁❃❊❋ꕥ✾✿✽❀❁❃❊❋ꕥ

🚫Please Avoid Sending...

Anything witchy (besides Harry Potter) / pagan / wiccan, swearing, and pride flags/insignia, as I am a Christian and these things go against my beliefs. I am okay with confetti as long as it isn't teeny tiny, but please do not send me loose glitter as my pets could get into it.

Other than that, I'm not picky at all! Send me whatever makes you smile, it'll probably make me smile, too!

National Panda Day Profile Swap

Giant pandas are native to central China and have come to symbolize vulnerable species. As few as 1,864 giant pandas live in their native habitat, while another 600 pandas live in zoos and breeding centers around the world.

A panda usually eats while sitting upright, in a pose that resembles how humans sit on the floor. This posture leaves the front paws free to grasp bamboo stems with the help of a "pseudo thumb," formed by an elongated and enlarged wrist bone covered with a fleshy pad of skin. T

National Panda Day Profile Swap

Giant pandas spend 10-16 hours a day feeding. In total, a panda will sleep about 10 hours a day.

I mean, I'd love to be a panda.
