My profile is still being worked on and updated.

Hi, my name is Heather. My life has completely fallen apart over the past 5 to 6 years. I have gone through a lot of loss, including my mom, mother-in-law, my best friend/partner/co-parent of 15 years, and a very close friend. The pain never stops as I am now caring for my dad, who has cancer. (June 2026 he is doing great after chemo and radiation. The cancer is still there but I feel so greatful that he seems to be doing okay) I had lost the joy of swapping and paper crafting in general for a while, but I am slowly coming back into it. I am updating my profile in case I decide to start swapping again, and I wanted to let whoever wants to know why I have such a big gap in swapping. -March 6, 2026

I love to put my heart into making things for people. I will always appreciate it when someone takes time and effort to make something for me. Everyone crafts at different levels, but you can always tell when someone puts effort into a project.

I am also in search of older Littlest Petshop stuff.

I am also obsessed with prohibition era gangsters up to 1990's mafia.

Im also in search of Trader Joe's bags.

My favorite things are making junk journals and other paper crafts. I LOVE traveler's notebooks too, I have a few different sizes, but standard and wide standard are my favorites. I also found out recently that I really enjoy latch hooking. I would LOVE to learn how to crochet and hand sew. I can use a machine, but I never learned how to sew by hand. As for crocheting, I can make a single row, but I have never learned how to connect them to make two. I also like keeping a pretty planner.

I will always send my swaps out on time.

I will always rate a swap when I receive it. I ask that my partners do the same. My mail usually runs in the evening, sometimes I fall asleep before it gets here, so it will be rated promptly in the morning.

Bad gateways can make it hard to check profiles and keep on top of slow mail. If you feel you have been waiting too long for a swap from me to arrive, please contact me.

I have noticed that sometimes when leaving a heart with my rating, that it disappears. Has that been happening to anyone else?
