Hello! My name is Nicole, and I created this Flickr account to document and share my self exploration journey. In 2021 I had extra time due to the pandemic, and my twins growing older etc. I had an opportunity to experiment with art, journaling, junk journaling etc. I started on new creative endeavors, and introduced myself to the world of swapping postcards/Penpal letters and many other swaps! I love to take photos and share my experiences on this wonderful journey. Also, I may occasionally share some random creative journaling pages, and some bits and bobs of creating ephemera, pockets, tucks, coffee and tea dying paper. I enjoy experimenting and trying new things, so on occasion I may share random ideas/creative experiments, or Etsy shop shares, junk journals etc.

I started my swapping happy mail journey in 2021. I’m having so much fun exchanging happy mail, learning about other cultures/traditions, vintage stamps, journaling, and making new friends from all over the world. I have always enjoyed writing letters, and I appreciate the time and effort that goes into writing the letter, purchasing a stamp, sealing it in an envelope, and dropping it in the mailbox to venture off to its destination which could be miles, weeks, or days.

I am basically documenting what makes my soul dance, and finding out what I truly love other then my amazing family ❤️
