UPDATE 16 Jan: just contacted everyone in my sent list regarding resends to & from me. To everyone who I haven't rated yet, take your time! I'm just dropping in with a reminder that I'd like to rate and clear up my sent list. To everyone I owe a resend to, I'll be dropping off your swap at the end of the month with my next batch of outgoing swaps!

It’s about time I redo my “about me” section! Hi! I’m a 37 year old homebody who lives with my boyfriend and our two rescue cats; Malice and Jonesy (of which my happy mail IG maliceandjones is named after); in Kuala Lumpur!

I enjoy junk journaling, penpal-ing, reading, crocheting, embroidery, home decor (my aesthetic leans whimsigoth — think Practical Magic — but I’m trapped in an apartment so I don’t get to go all out), painting, gardening (on a balcony), traveling and thrifting.

My favourite crafting motifs are all over the place:- nature and animals (mainly leaves and forest animals) → magic, astronomy related & the moon → cozy fall cottagecore → witchcraft → tea, coffee, cafe elements → creepy, monster-y kawaii girliness (I never got over Monster High and MyScene) → cats →Y2K elements (CDs, tamagotchis, flip phones, etc) → handmade, vintage or interestingly textured paper & materials.

penpal letters → sticker flakes & sheets → paper (interesting textures, vintage pages, labels, cutouts, etc) → washi & PET tape → tea (I love fruity teas and curious flavours like blueberry muffin) → pressed flowers & leaves → vintage travel maps & postcards → handmade Traveler's Notebook inserts → wax seals → snacks (currently, am not in the position to send anything more than flat airmail so I can't get into a snack exchange rn but I miss this so much).

anything religious → children’s/reward stickers → planner supplies → cosmetics → loose glitter → herbal teas → instant coffee sachets (however I do enjoy instant drip bags) → Harry Potter.

It’s not that I don’t appreciate it. Honestly, I believe that every swap I've received in the past had been created with the best of intentions but I would likely not use these and I don’t think I should collect more clutter.

From what I can remember, airmail to and from Malaysia can be a little slow so please be patient with mail coming from my corner of the world. On my end, I'll always rate as soon as I open a swap but if you haven’t received anything within 6 weeks, drop me a DM. I’m always happy to resend.

If I haven't rated you, it's because I haven't received your swap yet. If your outgoing swap hasn't arrived to my mailbox within 6 weeks I'll check in with you as well.
