About Me

Hi! I'm a Middle School librarian in my mid-30s. I was a high school English teacher for about a decade before that. I'm into reading (obviously), snail mail, and mixed media collage. I LOVE handmade stuff! I'm a new-ish mom, and working on finding myself again after the all-consuming baby stage.

Misc likes/interests: cats, dogs, books, naps, candles, wine, cocktails, cooking, tea, learning new things, snacks

Favorite Books

My first love is fantasy, and as a middle school librarian I love all the excellent middle grade fantasy coming out these days. My favorite book is probably Frankenstein; I love sci fi/fantasy that uses the unfamiliar to explore human nature. I taught AP Lit for a while and loved teaching Frankenstein. Also The Great Gatsby; my husband and I both quoted it in our wedding vows.

Favorite Crafts

Pre-parenthood, I did a lot of knitting, but now it's hard to find the time. Now I focus on junk journaling, mixed media collage, mail art, that sort of thing. It's nice to have a craft that you can pick up and put down easily, and that can be completed relatively quickly. I like to sew (mainly garment sewing) and hope to get back to that hobby soon.

Snail Mail Favorites

If you aren't sure what to send, I would love either something handmade, or something that represents one of your passions. I love mail that captures a piece of the sender's heart: what are you into and why do you love it?

I love stickers! One of my guilty pleasures is my Stickii subscription; I really look forward to getting those every month. I need more ideas for things to sticker upon because my stash is growing faster than I can use it!

I also love washi, and have too much of it! It's just so cute! Hopefully the swaps here will help me use up my washi collection... so that I can buy more!

I like to support local/small businesses when I can.

Prompt Ideas

If you don't know what to write about, here are some ideas:

  • What are you looking forward to?
  • What is the oldest thing in your fridge?
  • Tell me about a petty grievance in great detail.
  • What did you eat for dinner last night?
  • What is a song that always puts you in a good mood?
  • What book have you read and loved recently?

Comment: The decorations on your letter are adorable! Every sticker you picked out is so cute, and the stationery itself is just delightful~ πŸ¦’πŸ’Œ I love how Aldi seems to always have exactly what I need on sale that week! And, ah, while I like to read, I've been having trouble focusing lately. I've mostly been reading graphic novels (the Cursed Princess Club is incredibly silly, good stuff) πŸ’œ Thank you for the wonderful swap!
