I live in the United States of America, in Oregon (part of the Pacific Northwest). It is a beautiful part of the country. I am close to mountains, the ocean, a desert, and a rain forest. I love to be in the outdoors, walking and cycling.

I am a papercrafter. I love pretty papers and use them to make my own envelopes and cards. I do mail art too. I drink green tea and have swapping both cards & teas with people all over the world. I enjoy a cup of coffee too, and especially love the petite vanilla bean scones from Starbucks :)

I love to send & receive happy mail. Nothing makes me happier than to come home from work and see a friendly piece of mail in my mailbox. I prefer postcards sent naked (not in an envelope), but if you absolutely must send one in an envelope, please decorate your envelope in some way. Add some stickers, decorative tape, use creative lettering, write in different colors, add some doodles, or a few different postage stamps, etc. Plain white envelopes with just my name written on them are very dull I think.

I am happy to receive any kind of postcard, from scenary from where you live, to outdoorsy (mountains, waterfalls, beaches, trees, nature trails, rocks, sunsets...), to gardens/flowers/doors/windows, birds/butterflies/cats & kittens/puppies & dogs/penguins, seasons, coffee/tea, and inspirational/happy things. I love to see different postage stamps, so if you could put several on, that would be fun!

With that said, I will surely appreciate whatever you choose to send to me.

If you are not sure what to write, perhaps you could tell me:
- a little about yourself
- what you like to do for fun?
- do you have any hobbies?
- where are you writing your postcard to me?
- what is your favorite beverage?
- your favorite quote
- do you have pets?
- do you like chocolate? any specific kind?

Have a wonderful day!
