Please rate my swaps. I am finding I have to ask my partners to rate the journals I send. I put a lot of work and heart into them and I would like the credit for it. I'm trying to build up my rating again as I am left out of a lot of fun swaps. Each five earns me 3 points.

I am newly retired and working on downsizing big time.

I love writing. I have been writing pen pals for 53 years.

Concerning Ratings: My "1" rating is from 2019 during a family emergency. I've contacted the recipient but she's not been on SB since 2019 so I don't have a lot of hope of being able to make up for it.

I splurged on an Instax camera and have fun using it.

I have a garden that keeps me busy and fed.

Books are my comfort. I have an eclectic reading taste. My library loves me because I order books in all the time. Rural folks around here apparently aren't as curious as I am, LOL.

I have a booth in an antique/craft store to help get rid of things and give me a little cash. Unfortunately the store is closing and so there goes my little extra income.

I am attempting my hand at zines again.

I started a secret YouTube channel since retiring.

I like to work on my glue book which I find very relaxing. I use composition notebooks and have several in the works.

I don't have a television.

I am very much into frugal living. I am on a very fixed income.

I am not collecting much these days. I do enjoy the tacky, absurd and bizarre. Items with a Catholic bent alway catch my eye. I also enjoy anything Jewish, yiddish or kosher.

I enjoy a good laugh.

I am a big fan of Dorothy Day. I have been diving into the Catholic Workers movement big time.

I do like flamingos. They represent balance. I have a vestibular condition that affects my balance.

My favorite color is pink, all shades. I also like orange and every color to be truthful. But pink I gravitate to and now that I look back, I see orange has been there a lot.

I have a overwhelming amount of letter writing stationery that I've collected over the years. There are enough books in my home to never have to buy another again. I need to merge my fantasy self into my reality self. Now that I have time I can start.

I am mainly interested in letter writing, journaling or postcard swaps. My favorites are journal swaps of all kinds be it a week or month. I also enjoy question a day or listing types. If you have these and want to swap or even do private swaps let me know!! I prefer real letters and journals, not email. Call me old fashioned.
