Please be aware I just went through a divorce and had to move. If anyone sees any bags with my address on it could you please change it. This is my current address: Jenn Bemus 3545 B Drive S East Leroy, MI 49051 I am still working on unpacking so please be patient when waiting for a rating. As soon as I get a chance I will rate what I have received.

I would like to do private swaps with anyone interested. I am looking receive used stamps (on or off paper but in good condition). I would like to send postcards, stickers, playing cards, or notecards. We can work out quantities that are fair to everyone.

Anyone needing "bags" to swap can contact me and I will happily send you some. I have a ton of bags that need to get moving.

I am mom of 6 busy kids (3 still live at home or live at home again). I also have 2 daughters in law. I have 1 granddaughter (8 years old) and a grandson (almost 2 years old)

I collect rubber ducks, smurfs, stamps, spoons, stickers, fun shaped paperclips, elongated pennies, miniature cartoon character pieces (like Disney characters) and friends. I love penpaling, reading, traveling, and games.

I love romance books. My favorites are the romantic suspense, paranormal romance (especially vampires and wolf shifters), and historical romance. Time Travel romance is also one of my favorites. My favorite authors are Cherise Sinclair and Lynsay Sands.

I love swapping playing cards. I am currently trying to make several frankendecks. I am looking for cards from casinos, ones that have products on them (I have a million coke cards so lets skip those), television shows (Like Duck Dynasty), and also Universities or schools. Any other cards are also appreciated, especially the jokers. I also love shaped cards and mini cards.

I have tried most types of crafts, and enjoy many. I'm not artistic, just crafty.

Lately I have not had time for many crafts. I tend to ignore my craft pile and just swap instead.

My newest obsession are Miniverse. They are small resin craft kits marketed in the toy department. I like to do the kits themselves and also create miniature rooms to display them in.

.WANT WANT WANT!!!!! Several countries including Belgium and Germany (and I'm sure others) have Smurf stamps in their postal history. I would love to have them all, used. If anyone would like to trade for them please let me know.

*****I LOVE SMURFS*****

Please: If at all possible use real stamps on your envelopes. The cooler the better. I collect stamps and always cut them off the envelopes. Sending extra used stamps always guarantees a heart!

I am always willing to do private or one/one swaps. I swap stickers, stamps, labelbags, any other kinds of "bags", postcards and many other things. My favorite are postage stamp bags. If you'd like a swap just pm me.

Please note that I am no longer signing friendship books. If I receive them I will pass them along so it is ok to send them but please do not make them for me. I have more pen pals than I can handle.

I did just start swapping x-slips again, as of Oct 2024. Any I do not play I will pass along to other swappers.

Smurf figurines

Used Stamps- I am looking for US stamps that are between 20-44 cents (original value). I have realized my collection is missing alot from this time. I also collect stamps from around the world but tend to limit my collection to about 15 countries. I would love to get recent (2000 or newer) stamps from France, Canada, and Austrailia. The other countries I collect are: Belgium, England, Finland, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, and Norway. I prefer stamps 1970-current. I would love disney or smurf stamps from any country.

Stationery

postcards (not freebies please) My favorites are the humorous ones and the recipe ones. Smurf ones are always wanted as well as ones that depict real stamps as their artwork.

Any rubber duck items

Elongated pennies: if you send duplicates that is also great because then I have an extra to swap. I would also love to hear about where the penny comes from. There is only one place in my town to buy them so it limits how often I can swap.

unusual music (not the stuff you hear on the radio) I love international music. Spotify just informed me that this year (2023) I listened to 63 genres. I guess you could say I have a wide variety of tastes. I also noticed I have 9 languages on my favorites playlist, even though I am only fluent in English.

recipes, especially easy to make low ingredient dishes. crock pot or slow cooker recipes are also a favorite.

PLEASE NOTE: I do not drink tea and don't care to receive any. If you send tea I just end up sending it to some else so please just keep it.

****Stickers***** I love stickers. I do not like the puffy ones. I love the character ones, as I use them in my penpalling. My favorites are smurf, scoobydoo, wonder woman, strawberry shortcake, any disney, and garfield.

Please note that sometimes it takes me a little while to rate. I promise I will rate but it just might take me some time. Please be patient. If I have not received something I will pm you before rating. If you are curious if I received it you can pm me or just wait for the rating. Thanks for your patience.
