Still around July 2026!

I found this site ages ago and although I am not very active here I really like the way this site works and participated in quite a few swaps before there were even swap types 1, 2,and 3. xD If you'd like to do a one on one swap please feel free to message me. I spend my days being joyfully crafty, writing letters to my penpals and balancing my unfortunately very sedentary hobbies with exercising and remembering to stretch!

I have loved reading since forever. I read both fiction and non-fiction. My last book read was Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life which I wholeheartedly recommend. I'm currently in the middle of Before the Coffee Gets Cold and I'm really enjoying it. Is there nothing better than reading books and finding the time well-spent and enjoyable? Ahhhh

I enjoy a variety of papercrafts and decorating everyday things. When I look at them it makes me happy. And life is meant to be happy! :D Well you know not constantly because the bad times are what make us appreciate the good but you know what I mean. :p I sometimes swap and make high quality or nice & neat fbs as well as sticker bags, memo bags and used stamp bags. I enjoy journaling and love the kawaii aesthetic and especially heisei retro style! I've been practicing modern calligraphy and having a lot of fun with it.

I love Mind Wave, Q-lia, San-x, Crux, Kamio, Pool Cool, washi tapes, happy animals and any kawaii stickers that have are holo sparkly or metallic glittery. I like super kawaii letter sets, memo pads and letter pads. I love those super skinny (028, 038) line pens that write smoothly. I'm a bit of a pen enthusiast. ;p Happy fruits and food (dessert) kawaii themes are my absolute favorite at the moment too.

I enjoy swapping quality fbs, sticker bags, postage stamp bags, lyrix, quotez, decos, sticker books, kawaii stickers, washi and kawaii stationery in small amounts so it doesn't get too overwhelming. I also prefer flat items to ones that are decorated in too many gems or puffy stickers.

I just started collecting worldwide commemorative postage stamps. I would love it if you used recent colorful commemorative stamps on your envelopes to me. (o^___^o) I also love when my mail is decorated and I also enjoy decorating the mail I send out. I'm @tinypaperbits on insta if you wanna see.

I am a fan of Rainbowholic, 1134 Press, Jordan Clark and watching journal with me/penpal with me videos on youtube. I love spending time on instagram (tho not every day) just perusing through the explosion of daily creativity on there. And I love getting snailmail ideas from all the penpaling hobbyists who create beautiful artistic expressions through their letters, enclosures and envelopes. At the same time I don't use the "feeds" feature very much and rather just find things I want to look at on my own. I also love listening to health and wellness podcasts daily while papercrafting.
