I'm Moira, a 40 year old who grew up in upstate NY but now resides in GA.

I am a mom to three (ages 21, 18, 15).

I’m married. My husband retired from the Navy.

I absolutely love animals. We have 2 dogs, 6 cats, and a gerbil.

I will NEVER flake on a trade. I have had people flake on me in journal swaps and it really sucks to put in so much effort and get nothing in return. :(

I am a book collector and basically have my own library of books. I like all types- physical, ebook and especially audiobooks. Lately my favorite genres are romance (the spicier, the better), thrillers and memoirs but I will read almost anything.

True Crime shows of any variety, almost any show that involves first responders or medical personnel (fiction or real life), "reality tv", Gilmore Girls, Supernatural, cooking shows, etc.

I like to have stuff on as background noise while I craft.

I also enjoy "booktube" and crafty/journaling youtube videos

I love writing in/decorating journals and especially love trading them! Mine are pretty much full of whatever I feel like adding when I sit down to work on them. :)

Writing and receiving long letters

I love any and all postcards. Touristy or not. Weird, fun, beautiful, ugly, it doesn't matter!
