Welcome to my page!
I grew up on the Oregon coast and I have lived here all of my life. I am a Native American, mother of two amazing children.
I have collected postcards off and on for 35 years. I am just getting back into swapping again. I co-founded a Postcard swap group. I have made some great friends along the way, and I hope to make many more.
Besides collecting/trading postcards, I have a great love of photography, writing, beading, traveling, and I volunteer for Find A Grave. I am an avid reader. My favorite genre is post-apocalyptic, but I also love historical romances.
I love washi tape, decorative tape, stickers, die-cuts, colorful paper/envelopes and other craft items. I enjoy interesting stamps and postmarks. I love to receive envelopes and cards that are decorated.
My favorite colors are black & pink.

*Ad/Free postcards *Postcards that are blank on the front *Homemade cards/postcards *Postcards that are written to someone else *Anything Religious or Political. (everyone has their own beliefs/opinions) *Cartoon/Anime

I do my best to send my swaps out as soon as possible. I like to visit profiles to get to know my swap partners before mailing.
If you have not received my swap or have an issue with what I sent, PLEASE contact me before leaving a negative rating. I will offer the same courtesy before leaving anyone a negative rating.
I try and rate partners immediately upon receipt of swaps. I hope you will do the same for me.
Thank you for visiting my page. I look forward to swapping with you. :)
I am a group founder for the swap-bot group for Swap Swamp USA. It is a postcard exchange group that originally started on Facebook for USA only swaps. Please join us at the link above, and come hang out with other postcard enthusiasts!

Hi Shyla! Three things about myself: 1) I started collecting postcards when I read in "Archie" comics that Dilton Doiley collected postcards:) 2) I love collecting maximum cards but it is pretty difficult to find people who like to swap this type of cards. 3) I don't really watch TV but the last TV show I religiously followed was "Downton Abbey" :)
I'm reading your profile! :P â¤âž´â¤
