Hi! I'm taking a brief break :) If you are missing a swap from me, drop me a line so I can resend!

If you are sending me a postcard, please try not to mail it in an envelope - i really prefer postcards that go through the mail.

Hello! I'm Bee :) I am an OG Swap-Botter! I put a lot of time and effort into my swaps, and I am always delighted to receive the same.

I enjoy memory keeper journaling, daily journaling in my hobonichi cousin, and I keep a reading journal.

I also love to garden in the spring. I have a small veggie/herb patch and a decent size flower garden with lots of perennials.

Aside from that, I enjoy cooking (especially Japanese food), occasional baking (if you have any good recipes, send them my way!), watercolor painting, and writing letters.

Some of my recent favorites:

DIVINE RIVALS by Rebecca Ross // THE SPIRIT BARES ITS TEETH by Andrew Joseph White // A FAR WILDER MAGIC by Allison Saft // 10,000 DOORS OF JANUARY by Alix Harrow NETTLE & BONE by T. Kingfisher

And some of my all time favorites:

STARDUST by Neil Gaiman // THE NIGHT CIRCUS by Erin Morgenstern // LIRAEL by Garth Nix

I also read romance/"spicy books" but I hate the miscommunication trope. I have a YA Fairyloot subscription, and a Kindle Unlimited subscription. You an always check my Amazon wishlist, since a lot of times I will add books I've heard of and am interested in reading to my Amazon.

I am not religious.

For stickers, I do not use planner, kiddie, or freebie stickers.

I do not eat a lot of candy, and prefer savory snacks.

"What the fox" items, or items with quippy sayings just aren't my style, sorry.

I strongly dislike bananas.

I don't collect or use ATCs or friendship books/slams.

No decorative napkins please.

No wooden charms, since I don't have a use for them.
