I'm 50 and wrote lots of pen pals for years, swapped slams, fbs, etc.

I'm married, no kids, one cat. Jon drives me nuts, makes me crazy, but he's my best friend & my world. We started dating twenty four years ago this March! Been married since 9/30/00.

I play flute with a local band. I live in a small-ish town as my parents’ caregivers.

I love planning, reading, crocheting, knitting, junk journaling, moose, Maine beaches, swapping fbs and decos and label bags, British history, researching rabbit holes, journaling, bujo, collages, ATCs, washi tape, photography, animals, classic cars, smutty romance books, the ocean, zentangle, weaving, letterboxing, gnomes, yard sales, antiquing, etc

I’m just getting into ATCs. I’m no artist but I love the idea of creating art on a miniature scale. Same thing with zentangle - my hands shake too much to be any good but I enjoy it all the same.

I'm involved with my UCC church and am very liberal and not afraid to discuss religion or politics. FDT.

More random things I love: turtles, cats, rainbows, butterflies, cosmetic bags to put my pens & markers in, journals/notebooks/pretty notepads, my planner, stickers, bookmarks, gnomes, moose, European history (especially War of the Roses/Tudors), holocaust documentaries, etc.

I am here to make friends & to make some new penpals - as I said above, I'm getting back into the hobby & really miss it.

Ive joined several penpal and notecard related swaps so I hope to meet you there!

I am a long letter writer, but I mainly type my letters I’m visually impaired. Technically legally blind. I'll try to hand write occasionally, & if you decide to write I'll be happy to share the details of why I prefer to type. I am not a penpal collector, I'm looking for long term friendships & I'm interested in chatting about more than tv, movies, and the weather (don't get me wrong, I talk about that too!). Friendship should develop over time, and the length of my letters will grow as we know each other better. Yours should too :).

My life is insanely busy, and I won't be answering your letter right away. You shouldn't be feeling pressured to either! Penpaling is a hobby and I love it, but it shouldn't feel like work, or stress or a huge commitment, it should be fun. I usually reply in a month or less so please keep that in mind, too :).

I aswap fbs, ATCs, slams, decos, sticker goodie & label bags or any other type of bag. I'm up for a few regular, long term swappers & or pals - I'd like to swap fbs and decos by the large envie/box/large priority envelope but any size/amount is awesome! Excess is always wanted!

I'd really really love to make some fbs and slams for you - if you feel comfortable sending me your address & / or sending me address labels, I'd be so grateful! I'm getting sick of making stuff only for me, that's no fun.... :)

Please note: yes, I have some zeros. I don’t want to make excuses, but I’m bipolar and had a bad, long manic episode. Ended up in the hospital, and took a long time to recover. Then honestly I forgot all about this site until someone mentioned it in passing. I have reached out to my old swap partners but it’s been four years, and at least some people haven’t been on here for two years. I’ve reached out to who I could.

I’m autistic and have ADHD. I have bipolar, panic attacks, anxiety, OCD (please don’t make those asshole jokes about having OCD when you really mean anal. OCD is real and horrible). I’m so a suicide survivor.
