Seeker of Everyday Magic

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing

BEEEEEE Happy!

I love swap-bot and all of my swapping friends! I will never flake on you! If you have not received something, please message me so that I can look into it and re-send immediately. Thank you!!

I mail my letters in a blue box at the end of our street. So if something is postmarked a day after I send (If I send the last day) then it will, most likely, be postmarked the next day, I DO mail on time, it may be a day out of post mark if they don't pick up on time.

May 2025 bring you lots of Love, laughter, happiness and good health! !

xx Gabi

My word for 2025 is...

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ ˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ DECLUTTER˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ ˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

"Letter writing is the only device for combining solitude with good company". - Lord Byron

Treat yourself to something today! You deserve it!

I romanticize almost everything I do. It's the little things like placing a cute flower on my desk or making cute heart shaped ice cubes for my iced tea, keeping a tea cup of my favourite colour handy and having a fluffy duvet and a bunch of pillows and cute things on my bed! (yes stuffed animals)

Self care is of the utmost importance and people seem to forget that if we are not, first, kind to ourself, we cannot possibly be the best we can be for others. It's NEVER too late to learn this lesson and start implementing little things as we go. Life is a journey on which we learn 10,000 lessons; one breath a time!

Be kind, be caring and be true to yourself!

-- FOR JJJ Let's Make a Junk Journal --

This year (2025) I am not going with any specific themes in my journal. I'd love anything you would like to create for me in any color scheme, any theme, any style!
