5/20 Hi! I just want to let everyone know that I have been helping my daughter through a double ear infection. Im trying to send all my tags and wishes out by the end of the month! Im sorry about the delay.

Hello!

I'm Jessica and I live in Virginia Beach, VA. Im 28 years old and a new momma to a 6 month old baby girl. I love thrifting, paper crafts and list making! I recently started collecting stamps to use in paper crafts. I will always use real stamps when sending out swaps.

I love checking the mail everyday! Its my favorite thing to do! meeting new people is the HUGE added bonus! I recently started posting what I send and receive on instagram. You can see it @_blairanoid

I love anything to do with paper crafts! Card making, collages, mail art and useful handmade items (envies, bookmarks..) are my favorite!

I love staying organized with my planners. I have one just for swapping so I can keep track of sending/receiving swaps and rating my partners!

I love vintage office ephemera or anything I can use as a pocket or to write little lists on to put in my planner! I make junk journals and smash books so the more ephemera the better! I also love working on my Project Life albums and though I typically use PL journal cards, I try to alter them with washi tape or ephemera to make them unique.

I do some sewing for small projects I see on pinterest or to make my daughter headbands.

Around christmas time, I do a lot of crafts with felt and make ornaments. They are typically non traditional as I am not religious or a big fan of traditional christmas items.

Here are some things I enjoy, in no particular order.

***This section is to inspire "profile based" items and is by no means a "wish list". I enjoy the surprise of swapping and appreciate the time and effort it takes to send mail!

-Halloween! (my favorite holiday!) spooky and cute items are always welcomed!! -Feminism (as part of political, economic, cultural, and social equality for ALL woman) -cacti -beetlejuice -ouija boards -E.T. -goosebumps (books, movies, toys, cards)

***can you tell I like things from the 90s?

-THINGS FROM THE 90s! -mean girls (the movie) -gossip girl (particularly Blair Waldorf) -paper ephemera -world maps -Breaking Bad -watermelon -all things cats -Sharks (especially hammerhead sharks) -corgis -dinosaurs and Jurassic Park -all thing Harry Potter! -photography -houndstooth -seafoam green and pastel colors -traditional tattoos

Here is a short list of things im not very into:

-Kids items (cartoon stickers, Disney themes) *kawaii is fine but spongebob will just go in the trash

-religious items

-holiday items (except, of course, for Halloween)

Here are some things I "wish" for :)

But keep in mind, when looking for profile based items, anything related to my "likes" or the items below are greatly appreciated.

-washi tape samples -used postage stamps -blank sticker labels (neon colored, white, any stickers large enough to write an address on) -project life/handmade journal cards -handmade or non-tourist postcards -stickers small enough to use in my planner -paper ephemera -book pages or newspaper pages languages other than english

My favorite themes/colors:

-air mail/postage -dots and strips -nautical (ship wheels, anchors, rope/sailors knots, lighthouses) -owls or other woodland creatures -cats -pandas -seafoam green (favorite color)

POSTCARDS:

I recently came upon several (hundreds) vintage (60s-80s) postcards. I want to start collecting postcards from around the country and world. Other than State or map postcards from your country, non-tourist postcards are greatly appreciated! I also love handmade postcards and any other postcards that are related to my "likes".

I am always interested in private swaps with established or new swappers! If you liked a swap I sent you or we have similar interests, message me!

I'm pretty open to anything!
