***FYI I will be out of town until July 20th, so unable to rate swaps during this time!****

Helloooooo, my name is Rosei, I am (almost) 33 and I live in a small city in Minnesota. Yes, it gets really, really, really cold here in the winter! I am the mother of two very fluffy cats.

I have always loved sending snail mail (my grandmother was my first pen pal!), and am so happy to have discovered swap-bot. I love postcrossing as well!

Looking forward to many more fun swaps - I love to send as much as receive I think!

-Your mail art! Stamped! Handmade envie!

-Vintage (or vintage-themed) postcards, clothing, stickers... Everything :-)

-Fancy-Pants postage stamps on swaps! Old or new, the more the better. I don't officially collect stamps, but I love to get stamps from all over the world and I adore using old mixtures of stamps on my own swaps.

-STICKERS!!! Please no teacher/reward stickers/little kid themes, unless having to do with classic children's books or something silly like unicorns. =)

-Edward Gorey

-Kitties!!!

-Air Mail themes

-Sparkle! Glitter! Shiny!

-Anything by Cavallini

-Black and white, photography, people. Nudity is fine.

-Ships and boats, nautical themes

-Cute woodland creatures (deer, squirrels, wolves, raccoons, badgers, etc)

-Bunnies (though I don't think they are so nice in real life... never as cuddly as they look)

-All sorts of tea, especially black tea and chai

-Photos - love to take them and love to see yours

-Sewn/fabric crafts (I can't sew at all, I am in awe of those who do).

-Your doodles, drawings and creations, regardless of perceived talent level ;)

Things that I don't like as much... Worst case scenario I will pass along in another swap =)

-Touristy postcards (unless called for in the swap)

-Perfume samples and other strongly smelly things, unless they are naturally scented

-Modern Disney stuff, vintage is fun

-Smily-face stickers or "good job" teacher type stickers/overly cutsie/kid stickers

Please contact me if you haven't received a swap, I always send, and if something gets lost I will gladly send a replacement!!! And feel free to pester me to rate, sometimes I get behind when I am working a lot/taking call, and I don't mind being chided one bit!

xoxo,

Rosei
