-Currently not swapping-

Hello there! I am Sandhya from Singapore. I’ve listed some facts about me below and I hope it helps you get to know me better :)

*I have lived equal parts of my life in India and in Singapore and consider myself fortunate to have had such an experience

*I love neuroscience, so much so that I have a PhD in it and I am currently a full-time scientist.

*I recently had a Covedding and married my partner of 4 years. We have an adorable dog named Zorro who is a cavapoo and our ultimate snuggle buddy.

*I am a serial planner. My dad has been bullet journaling since he was a young boy (before it became all the rage). Through him, I too developed a journaling habit when I was 8 and I carry journal to most places I go. I also inherited his strong love for stationary.

*Although I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, I enjoy baking desserts, especially for my nieces and nephews. There’s just something nice about watching muffins rise in the oven.

*I am terrified of snakes, it is almost a phobia

*I prefer meeting people 1 on 1 rather than in groups because I feel I get to know them on a more deeper level this way

*I am very new to scrapbooking and I’m currently into everything vintage, botanical, antique. I have a small collection of vintage-themed things that I’d love to share so let me know if you want to do a private swap!

Some things I would love to receive

TEA, COFFEE AND OTHER BEVERAGES: I love all kinds of teas/ coffees, anything that is unique to your country like not chocolate or different kind of flavored drinks too

SCRAPBOOKING GOODIES: I recently started scrapbooking and would love to receive anything vintage. It could be washi tapes, stickers, paper ( especially handmade ones), wax seals etc

POSTCARDS AND LETTERS: If you want to do a very simple letter or postcard swap, do message me because I’d be happy to oblige. No frills expected for this one, even a simple note will work

HAPPY PROMPTS: I recently participated in the jar of happiness swap and I loved it! I like include happy prompts in my daily journal so do feel free to send me those too.

I am also open to private swaps so do drop me a message in case you are keen too :)

I have never been inclined towards one kind of genre to be honest. I’m one of those people who loves lyrics so much so that if I really like a song, I listen to it on repeat until I can recall it. I’m a loud and proud 90s kid and some of my favourite bands/artists are Coldplay, Linkin Park, Eminem (Raps are lyrical heavens so a big favourite here), Shakira, Lourde, Adele, Lana Del Ray and Imagine Dragons.

I am a mood based crafter. On some days, I would do a minimally decorated journal spread about my thoughts and on other days you can find me burning the midnight oil scrapbooking. Apart from paper, when I was young, I learnt stitching from my mum who is a total pro and it’s something that I would like to revisit now. I am taking all the extra time I get in quarantine to pick up some water color skills (thank you Shayda Campbell) and in the upcoming months I want to learn knife painting and also try my hand at pottery :)

These are a few of my favourite things in no particular order

My family Dogs (I have one too- His name is Zorro) Baking desserts Stationary Potato chips Boba Tea and coffee (I drink 1 cup of each daily) Plants and flowers Hand-written letters and notes Hand-drawn illustrations Receiving snail mail Non-fiction books Science- especially Biology Long walks in the park Dancing, especially to Bollywood music Everything vintage

We’re going through some really challenging times right now and the delivery time for my mails to you might get impacted due to this. Please don’t hesitate to drop me a message to check in on the status of your mail. If you don’t receive it, I’ll gladly send you another one.
