update I’ve received messages from a couple people saying my swaps have been lost in the mail. Because this hasn’t happened to me before but has happened multiple times recently I plan to step back a bit. I’ve also had my mail put into neighbors mail boxes recently so I think the issues are coming from my local post office & mail person. Hopefully time will help the situation. If you haven’t received a swap or a rating please continue to let me know!
I have spent the majority of my teenage & young adult years working with children & teens. Currently, I work with elderly people. Every job I find myself loving involves getting to know people on a personal level. If I can add crafting into the mix, even better! I have to feel like I am making a positive difference in peoples lives or I'm not going to keep showing up to work, so that's what I do! Even though I work with people, I am a true introvert and am thoroughly drained after work. Art, crafting, writing, etc helps me recharge.
I have moved more times than I can count at this point. I have lived in 3 countries & 7 US states and I'm sure these numbers will go up. I love traveling and exploring new places. My dream is to one day be able to live outside of the US permanently. We're on the way to achieving that goal down the road.
I do not believe in doing swaps that I won't enjoy just to up my number of swaps completed so I end up not joining too many. When I do find swaps that look like fun I try to put my all into it.
Please let me know if my swap hasn't arrived after some time! I only press sent once I've dropped it in the mailbox.
I rate soon after I get it in my mail box. If you have not gotten a rating from me message me and we can work it out. I will make contact before I give you a 1, it's only fair.
If you are unsure if I'll like something you want to send feel free to ask! :]

I read a lot of horror, romance, manga and contemporary books. I love twists and turns, if I can’t predict the end it’s a fantastic thriller. I love hard subjects, taboos and feeling uncomfortable while I read. I want a book to have an emotional effect on me. Sometimes I just need a really terribly written teen romance novel though. I admit it. I own quite a few that are basically the same story in different locations and I love them all. To be fair, I did buy them when I was a teen.

Welcome to sunshine swaps!
Have a fun and safe Halloween!
Happy Valentine's Day from First Class Mail Art!
Hi! Congrats, you are now an officer for the group! Feel free to recruit anyone and create any swaps!
Thank you for being a part of the Kawaii! group!
Happy Sunday! Just checking in to see if you got the postcard I resent (since the first one I sent - from "just send me a postcard" - got ripped - boo!). ~Anne : )
Heyhey! I think this group could match with your interests in becoming a Sailor Scout! (:
~ Profile Comment Swap ~
Hi there, Krystal, and sorry in advance! I don't like being late for my swaps, even this one that sounded 'easy' at first, but ended up being a little crazy for me to complete it properly... I blame college!
Wow, you've got here a pretty well-filled profile, and you're a recent user! I would comment every little thing I see here, but this would turn into a hundred pages letter, so I better just mention my favorites ^-^
You're a writer and want to follow the Psychology carrer- wait, I need a moment, this is absolutely awesome! What's your novel about? I'm also writing some stuff, but sadly I haven't got enough time to them recently, as college is taking all my time.
And what about your first swaps, did you got any supercute kawaii things? ♥_♥
High-waisted skirts -- I would wear them everyday, but the cold weather won't let me. Hope your weather let you show your pretty skirts around at anytime you want to!
Keep the good swapping! Cheers from Brasil :D
