Purely postcards! :) I've had many collections over the years, but my main focus now is postcards. I don't mind naked or in an envelope. The advantage with blank PCs is that I can use any duplicates as swaps! :)

Update: I've discovered POCKET LETTERS - oh no!

PLEASE NOTE: I will never intentionally flake or not rate a partner. If you don't receive something from me, PLEASE LET ME KNOW and I'll resend. I would also love it if you would rate me for my swaps, so that I know you have received them. :)

I'm a self-confessed "Crazy Cat Lady" - even though I am currently servant to only one! (Dogs have masters - cats have servants (or slaves or staff).)

Wolves are my passion. My (Native American) birth totem is the wolf and I actually saw one in the wild when I was in Canada in 2012 - an awesome experience!

I was also born in the Chinese year of the ram (or sheep or goat) - so would that make me a wolf in sheep's clothing or vice versa? :)

Other animals and birds that I'm attracted to are: - bears - badgers - owls - pukeko (a New Zealand native bird) - dolphins and whales - raccoons - skunks - squirrels - chipmunk - highland cattle - alpaca and llama

I especially love "touristy" postcards. If the swap requires "naked", I love a nice hand written message and pretty stamp. I also love unwritten cards, as I can use duplicates for other swaps.

I don't collect handmade, Zazzle etc, arty, funny or unusual PCs. That said, I recently received an awesome Zazzle PC of a cat, so I guess there are some I will collect - lol.

My USA Collection ...

... now includes at least one postcard from each of the American states!

The following are other series' of which I have just a few, that I really like:

• State maps that look like they're on old parchment. I'm looking for all states EXCEPT Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah.

• Postcards that look like stamps. I'm looking for all states EXCEPT Delaware, Montana, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

• State maps of Native American Tribes. I'm looking for all states EXCEPT Arizona, California and Oklahoma.

Animals (especially domestic cats and wolves), birds, insects, and zoo postcards from around the world.

Anything steam road locomotives, showman's engines, rail locomotives.

Commercial airliners in flight. I also have some on the ground - they're OK too - I just prefer the ones in flight. :)

APART FROM THAT I LOVE TOURISTY POSTCARDS FROM ANY COUNTRY.

I have a black cat so there may be the occasional "gift" included from him.

We are a non-smoking household and I prefer to swap with non-smokers whenever possible.
