I am a new swapper! I recently moved from the east coast to the west coast of the US for work, and I'd love to connect with some folks! I love getting happy mail, and getting to write and use my ephemera gets me away from screens, haha. I can't wait to swap with you all!

I am a librarian, just out of graduate school. I have a dog named Finley who is my life. Yes that's him in my profile picture, lol.

I am not the most interesting person, but I try my best to be engaging, even though I'm usually only talking about work or my dog haha.

For the most part I only participate in US swaps because that's what I have stamps for. It's pretty rare that I go out of my way to buy stuff for swaps unless I am completely out of things. Thankfully I have a pretty large stash built up from over the years :)

My main hobby is collage! I primarily do journaling collage but I also make regular collage pieces as well. I have a collection of stickers, paper scraps, old magazines, etc. that I love to give new life ^^ I love joining handmade craft swaps as it gives me the chance to flex my creative muscles under new and interesting constraints!

My top movie right now is Tenet (2020), it was actually a special interest of mine for a few years! Other favorites are... - Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) - The Batman (2022) - The Birdcage (1996) - The Addams Family (1991) - Mickey-17 (2025)

I used to track my watching on JustWatch but now I do it on IMDB. I don't post reviews or anything but I need SOMETHING to help me keep track of everything I want to watch and everything I've seen. I love trying to find new and interesting stuff!

Becky Chambers's Psalm For the Wild-Built is my favorite book!! I also love Wolvendaughter by Ver and When Among Crows by Veronica Roth. The best series I've read all the way through is The Wicked + The Divine, which is a comic series. It's such a unique take on mythology!!!

I am currently reading through the Murderbot Diaries :D

I typically will follow one artist for years before switching. For a very long time my top artist was Will Wood/Will Wood and the Tapeworms!!! I recently switched to Hamish Hawk being my top artist in the last few years, though. Some honorable mentions include Jhariah, Amigo the Devil, The Mechanisms, and The Amazing Devil ^^

Please please please talk to me about audio fiction podcats!!!! I've been recently getting back into them and I remember why I was so into them. I am currently listening to The Silt Verses and it is absolutely fantastic. My favorite of all time is Juno Steel, which is one of the storylines on The Penumbra Podcast. It got me through one of the worst times in my life, I love you Juno Steel

I am always grateful for any and all ephemera that gets sent my way! Even if it's not something that is my absolute favorite, I am always looking for things to send to others to make them happy, too.

I typically care about color more than theme or what is actually depicted! Black, gold, silver, red, purple, and blue are usually my go tos.
