** Hi Everyone! We're finally settled in our new home in the wild and I mean wild west! Its been wonderful so far! Now on with swapping ;)**

*I have always loved mail but after joining swap bot I love it even more! Thank you wonderful swappers! :D

My name is Michelle, but my friends call me Mushy. I'm originally from Ft.Lauderdale, Florida but currently live in Texas where my husband is stationed at the time being. I am a stay at home mommy who enjoys crafting, decor, seasons, packaging and decorating. I've recently started an Etsy shop (sequins , Packaging & Kawaii). https://www.etsy.com/shop/Mushypinkstrawberryz It's my mini part time job since I'm home with my little guy.

I love decorating the house for each season or holiday. My favorite season is fall. I lived in New England (Boston) for 6 years and still dream of those crisp fall days but I am still a South Floridan girl at heart :)

I favor Kawaii swapping but I am very much into other things as well. Please do not think I only own Kawaii type items. I am big on crafting in general :) If a swap does not call for Kawaii I will not send Kawaii, lol.

"My love for crafting is endless"

NO THANK YOU

Please note I am grateful for anything I receive but these items do not follow under my interests.

Please no type of religious quotes, references, or materials.

I do NOT drink tea. I know this is a huge thing on swap-bot! Sorry and no pun intended lol! I find it crazy people still send it to me lol

Please no paper napkins or bookmarks (I make my own bookmarks so I have plenty) PLEASE no cut out stickers. They drive me crazy to organize and I'm huge on organizing.

I do not collect/craft ATC's/Friendship books. They are darling but not for me.

No real babies or animals, especially with Kawaii.

No dark, creepy, goth-like items. I am a pretty whimsical airy person who enjoys cute things.

I prefer pastels to dark colors.

I have soooo many notecards I cant even possibly use them with in my life time so please no more I beg of you lol (unless they are maybe related to Halloween or Fall) I run out of those!

Swap bot etiquette - Please do not send garbage/used items. This does not fall under "vintage". This is when someone sends me advertisements for Jiffy Lube and consider it paper ephemera :/ I will send my items in the condition I would like to receive. I put 110% into my swaps. I always review my partners profile! It's a common courtesy :)
