Hello! My name is Amanda and I am a single mother of 3 teenagers and one 11 year old. We live in Wichita Falls, Texas, basically right by the Texas/Oklahoma state line. You can also find me on Postcrossing and Stickerswaps.club with the same user name. 😉 Highly recommend Stickerswaps.club if you love trading stickers as much as I do. It's just like postcrossing and swapbot, but for stickers. The link is posted above :)

2024 Message- My profile shows that I joined Swapbot in 2021. Honestly, I couldn't figure out how to actually start swapping until 2024. :) I just want to thank all my AMAZING Swap partners this year! You guys have sent me the most amazingly creative and generous mail that has truly made my heart so incredibly happy!! I have fallen in love with this site because of you! Thank you!! :)

**If you ever don't know what to send or need an idea... I would truly appreciate ANYTHING Halloween, fall, and Day of the Dead related any time of the year! (Think more cute and Kawaii Halloween, rather than bloody and gore. :) 🎃 (If you happen to have any Halloween Pipsticks, Stickii Club, or any other Halloween stickers that you will not use, I would love them! :) I also really like Halloween themed ephemera. I just started making a Halloween junk journal and I am LOVING using all the cards, decorated envies, memos, papers, stickers, and ephemera that everyone has sent me in the journal! Anything Halloween or fall related is perfectly fine

*** Stickers... I truly have an addiction to buying all the cute ones! Especially all holiday ones - (Feel free to send any holiday ones, any time of the year.) I love homemade stickers too and have found some great ones on Etsy and I make my own sometime too.

I also love: Shine Sticker Studio, Sweet Kawaii Design, Live Love Posh, Pipsticks, Stickii Club, Clear ones, **I just don't have a use for puffy, typical planner stickers, or the teacher stickers. Alphabet stickers are fine.

*Happy Mail and decorated envelopes! Anything related to mail themed items, especially mailboxes worldwide 📬 and the "Please Deliver To" labels

*Rub-on Transfers - Love the holiday ones, but any kind is fine with me.

*Stamps... I collect new and unused ones of all demonations and love using vintage ones on my envies! I also collect used butterfly stamps too.

*beach and sea life like sea turtles, flamingos, jelly fish, shore birds, and of course sea shells! Basically anything that lives in or around the ocean is super cool to me!

*The colors hot pink and turquoise

*Vintage stationery - I have recently fallen in love with the adorable illustrated animal images on vintage cards and papers.

*die cuts of cute images and washi samples.

*80's cartoons - Especially Garfield, Snoopy, Rainbow Bright, Pound Puppies, Muppet Babies, Fraggle Rock, MLP, Strawberry Shortcake, Care Bears

*All Sanrio characters... Tuxedo Sam, My Melody, Kuromi, and Chococat are my absolute favorites but I love every single one of the characters :)

*Cheerful and colorful things, rainbows, flowers, cute animals.

*Bees or Bee Hives 🐝

*Zinnia and Dahlia Flowers- these are my 2 favorite ones.

*Cute illustrated things

Handmade cards, postcards, and crafts are perfectly fine with me! I LOVE and truly appreciate anything you took the time to make for me

please do not feel bad if you do not have anything from my list, after all, those are just some suggestions and I will be happy with whatever you choose to send. :) 😉💕

I am a huge fan of decorated envies. I keep them forever. Doesn't have to be elaborate either, throw some stickers on it and I promise I will LOVE it! :) Update 4/1/2024: I just started a glue book/junk journal with all the cute decorated envelopes people have sent me :)

Sending snail mail is my main hobby and I have had penpals on and off for most of my life.

Thrift store shopping and going to yard sales is my 2nd favorite hobby. I'm pretty sure my entire house has been furnished from second hand and clearance finds. :)

I also like to read and visit our local library regularly.

I plant a container garden every spring. Last year it was all flowers, such as zinnias, cosmos, and snapdragons. This year (2024) is the same and I am excited to add 2 new varieties of sunflowers too. :)

I enjoy decorating my planner daily, but I don't use the typical planner stickers for it. I like to use whatever stickers fit my mood for that day, so my planner looks more like a sticker bomb and smash book but it makes my heart so happy! :)

I sign up for a lot of postcard swaps and also host a few as well. I love Blank Postcards in great condition. Especially:

*Halloween

*All other holidays and seasons

*Animals- any kind

*Sea life, beaches, and lakes

*Birds - especially Chickens

*Kawaii

*Blank Texas postcards because they are so hard to find where I live.

*I love illustrated ones the most but all are welcome.

Sorry friends but I don't drink tea or coffee. (yes, I know I'm a little weird here) I do buy a box to send out bags to my tea loving friends every month or so however :)

-Please, no religious items

-I also have no use for ribbons.

-I am not really a fan of vintage postcards with people or regular old buildings. I do love the vintage illustrated animal ones and the vintage holiday ones.

There is not too much else that I don't like however and even if I can't use it, I have pen pals who I can pass things along to. :)
