💢July 24, First before I say anything else I’d like to send a huge apology to anyone who has not received their swap items or a response from me for the last few days, I have been in hospital due to complications with my current treatment then was unfortunate enough to catch pneumonia during the same time, the doctors thought everything was going well until the day before I was to be discharged, when I started running a very high fever again, & was rushed into surgery. I’ve had to spend another week in here and I’m going absolutely insane. I’m hoping to be discharged within the next 2-3 days if all goes well. My daughter had brought me some of my craft things so I could work on my swaps if I felt up to it and she picked up a few I’d finished So she could mail out for me but I’ve been out of it the last few days and honestly haven’t been able to look for my planner to see what’s what. With that being said, please If anyone has not received there swap item please let me know and I’ll be more than happy to send another. I have never flaked and I don’t plan on starting now, I know how disappointing it is to not receive something your waiting on so by all means please let me know, I truly am very sorry And I hope if there is anyone who hasn’t received their you can forgive me and allow me the opportunity to fix it, Thank you and god bless 💢

I'm a mom of 5, ranging in age from 3 to 21, yea big age gap there lol. I have beat cancer once & I am currently fighting it once again. I love crafting & all things Kawaii. I have been collecting kawaii things since I was a little girl, so over 30 yrs now, & I have tons of kawaii stationary,(stickers,memo pads,letter sets,washi,deco,etc...)plushies, purses,& lots of other goodies. I use a mini happy planner (although I need to upgrade) some of my fave etsy shops for planner items are: once more with love,wonton in a million,shine sticker studio, fox & pip, doodlesdo.au, Ohana Story, Unicorn Planner, Create with Pen,PlanNstick,Planner Monkey Co, WilaWalaCo, her name is savvy, VanStickie, Frank hearts you, HappieScrappie, The Coffee Monsterz Co, & there's lots more but I'd be here all night listing them all.

• I ❤️love 🦄unicorns & 🧜🏻‍♀️mermaids, & 🧚🏻‍♂️🧚🏼‍♀️Fairies, 🦋Butterflies. They're so magical & mermazing! ! ; )

I received a cricut explore last year for mothers day & I love using it,there's so so many things you can do with these machines, so much so that I'm still trying to figure things out, I learn something new all the time. Even though I have a Cricut machine ive been thinking about purchasing a Silhouette also, mainly for sticker making, I keep hearing its so much easier on a Silhouette so I might have to start saving until I have enough for one lol. I enjoy making cards,tags,& banners,vinyl decals, anything shaker related (cards,tags,planner inserts,etc...) they're so pretty with all those lovely sequins & glitter. I make all kinds of things, recently I've gotten into making A.T.C. cards, after receiving a few from a pen pal who encouraged me to give it a try, so I did & now I'm hooked lol. . I heard about this site on Instagram, so I thought I'd check it out, I'm super excited to swap & make some new friends!

I can't say that I have a favorite genre. I like all kinds of music, from all genres,from rock to country even some hip hop , r & b. It really depends on what mood I'm in, but some of my favorite bands/groups are: Florence & the Machine,Lana Del Rey, Foster the People, Maroon 5, Marshmallow, The Chainsmokers, Twenty One Pilots, Bazzi, Post Malone, Fuel, HAIM, Keith Urban, Evanescense, Paramore, Linkin Park Some of my favorite songs are: Psycho(post malone) Shake it out, (Florence & the machine)Sit next to me(foster the people), Young & Beautiful(Lana Del Ray), Broken(Amy Lee)

Some of the movies I like are Fried Green Tomatoes, Now & Then, Where the Heart Is, Love Comes Softly Saga, Dirty Dancing, Pretty Woman, Maid in Manhattan, Under the Tuscan Sun, Twilight Saga, and pretty much anything with Melissa McCarthy in it,( Heat, Tammy, Mike & Molly, Bridesmaids etc...)

All Shaker Crafts ( cards,tags,etc) ATC's,cardmaking,stamping, coloring,and I just recently was introduced to gelli arts & acrylic paint pouring and I absolutely love them, so they're now on my top 5.Ive also enjoy making ( & learning more about/trying to perfect) making mini albums, & zines. There are so many different you tube videos showing how to make them, they're so much fun.

I am a member of Listia & sometimes sell on Mercari. I have been on listia for several years & have a wonderful feedback rating but due to some recent changes in there payment/credit system I, & majority of the others I know on there, have decided to take a break from listing items so I have not been able to share or talk to anyone who shares my love of crafting & kawaii. So I am so so so super excited to have found this site, I can't wait to make some new friends & participate in swaps! If anyone’s interested in becoming pen pals, sending each other a little happy mail, please just send me a message on here and we can swap addresses etc...

I love Kawaii, I’ve been collecting since I was a child, I have over 500 memo pads at last count. I prefer authentic Kawaii brands. Charms, memo sheets, sticker flakes, letter sets, are great.

** I'd prefer not to receive any Sentimental Circus or Rilakkuma memo sheets, I have pretty much all the memo pads of these two characters & even though I really like them, I just have more than enough.

Some pens are ok but no pencils or erasers, I have tons already and I’ve never really had any use for them. I also love Santoro Gorjuss Girls line of stamps,stickers, etc.. I have a pretty large collection of Washi, and deco taped but I love it so I’m always happy for more, but please no dollar tree or fabric tapes, I have multiples of all the dollar store ones already and I don’t really like the fabric type. I also collect planner clips, and stickers. I use a mini happy planner at the moment although I’m Wanting to get a micro or pocket, and b6 TN when I can manage to save up enough. My favorite colors are blue, purple, and all things ombré. I’ve always absolutely adored mermaids and unicorns so anything that has them on it I usually love.

There's always something new I see & say to myself oh I'd really love to try that. A few of those things are: 1) polymer clay charms 2)Resin Charms 3)pocket letters( I've gotten everything gathered up & ready to go, just never actually started one.Something else always seems to take higher priority at that moment,then I never get back to it) 4)Learn to do Calligraphy & other lettering 5)Gelli Art 6)Acrylic paint pouring
