About Me

I host, give RAKS and swap at Cheap Postage Swaps, Tags and Fun and CPG Newbies

I host offsite at Instagram and on Facebook as well as at atcsforall.com

I enjoy crochet, origami, zines, atcs, collage, Sharpies and pretty much anything to do with paper.

We are empty nesters so I try not to accumulate too many extras. I've run down my papers but um, the yarn is taking over, lol!

Need a crochet item? Ask me for a swap! You can check out my Instagram for recent projects.

Styles I like: beach/tropical; clean/IKEA, hand drawn, and some kawaii (Hello Kitty, sushi, food with faces and pandas).

Styles I don't care for: kiddie, overly victorian/vintage, lace, nudes, gothic/dark or religious, cutesy, kitschy country.

LIKES: Fav colors include sea blue/sea glass, navy, turquoise, red, rosy pink, burgundy, purple! Fav scents are citrus, linen, simple and clean.

I'm always happy to receive:

HANDMADE:
* address labels or PDT labels
* aprons
* handmade or fun soaps (nothing for a bath as we only have showers)
* crochet patterns listed on my Etsy

OR:

  • yarn, cotton or worsted
  • flower seeds packets
  • flat stencils in abstract patterns for gel printing
  • black cardstock (atc size to postcard size)
  • stud earrings - sterling silver or stainless
  • tea towels
  • good quality stickers (botanical, origami, seasonal)
  • face, hand or foot sheet masks
  • pretty emery boards or nail files
  • kawaii memo sheets
  • anything from or inspired by my etsy favorites
  • Fav Postcards - beach, scuba, travel, greetings from, asian/anime, Hello Kitty, Greece, fine art repros, Key West, ocean - not picky at all.

  • Fav food & drink: dark chocolates, chocolate with fruits or nuts, anything almond, andes mints, hard candies in travel tins; decaf black teas like decaf orange spice teas, decaf earl or lady grey tea, tea biscuits or stroopwafel cookies!!

No thanks! Things I don't need or care to receive:

  • planner, kiddie, teacher/reward stickers
  • fabric/lace/ribbon (have too much already!!)
  • paper scraps
  • incense or anything with a strong odor
  • herbal or green teas
  • anything licensed unless it's kawaii:)
  • anything religious
  • fabric - I can't sew nor have to time to learn
  • Please NO dollar store cosmetics, candles, candy/food, or personal care products - thanx!

ALLERGIES: Smoke, cat hair.

I am an early sender and a prompt rater. Please contact me if you have not received an item or a rating.

Also, I take most items to the PO to be weighed but sometimes what I think are simple flat envies go over an ounce and I don't realize it. If you get anything from me that comes postage due, please let me know and I'll send it to you!

Crafty Things I Make and Send

Handcrafted Things I tend to send: zines, crochet items, postcards, stash in decorated envelopes, penpal letters, ephemera, atcs, anything origami, addy labels + swap cards, handmade notecards,

Comment: Hi Grace! Thank you for the cute Easter card which made me giggle! The first one this year and it's already on display. Also for the tuck ins, especially the adorable origami bunnies! Keeping those for my junk journal. Sounds like you and your hubby can use some positive vibes for April. I hope your husband's recovery is going well. Happy springtime and hope you have a lovely Easter! Thanks so much for hosting!

Comment: I received your resend - thanks! That's true, I hadn't considered how taking baby pictures could become a lost art. I remember a photographer trying to get my younger sibling to look at the camera by squeezing a rubber ducky when we were kids.

Comment: Thanks for the fun answers Grace, and I see one of your answers reflected on the postcard, haha! Definitely agree with you on #1&4! I had to go with ancient Rome due to it having a sewage system... my smell sensitivity could never do without!

Comment: I like your simple highlights - they add a lot. What makes a card "easy"? To me, minimal background white space and thicker lines.~~~Thanks for the grapefruit minizine! I am now far more informed on the citrus - seriously, I didn't know half of it. So thanks!
