Cidssnailmail

Hi there! 😊 I’m Cidny from Iowa, USA. I’m 27, a Pisces (Feb 22!), a mom, and a big-hearted creative who’s constantly chasing my next crafty idea. I run a small biz called Take it or Leaf it where I host artful events and design handmade goodies like sticker sheets, decals, and collage kits.

I’m proudly neurodivergent (ADHD + Autism), which makes me extra passionate, imaginative, and very particular about my stickers 🤭 I love connecting with others who appreciate the little things and who find joy in snail mail, swaps, and shared creativity.

When I’m not making something, I’m usually watching true crime, jamming to a chaotic mix of music genres, or sipping a cold Dr Pepper like it’s a personality trait.

Lately, my favorite creative outlets have been: 🎨 Collage & mixed media 🖋 Handmade cards & paper crafts 🎁 Designing swap goodies 🌿 Planning cozy craft events 🖌 DIY sticker + decal design

I’m so happy to be here and can’t wait to send (and receive!) some happy mail 💌

I’m definitely a comfort show rewatcher ✨ I love a good balance of drama, humor, and a sprinkle of chaos. My go-to binge shows are the ones that make me laugh, cry, and gasp dramatically at least once an episode.

Some all-time faves: 📺 Grey’s Anatomy, Love on the Spectrum, Friends, Gilmore Girls, New Girl, Jersey Shore, George Lopez, Supernatural, Pretty Little Liars, The Fosters, and Lost (yes, I’m still emotionally recovering from the finale).

I’m also obsessed with true crime and paranormal shows—Law & Order: SVU and Ghost Adventures are high on my list.

And I could watch craft, baking, or home reno shows forever—liiiike Flea Market Flip, Cutthroat Kitchen, Cake Wars, Cake Boss, Say Yes to the Dress, Property Brothers, and Flip or Flop. They’re basically my background noise when I’m crafting.

My playlists are a chaotic mix of indie, hip-hop, pop, and deep-feelings-core™—basically, if it makes me feel something, I probably love it. I’m the type to play the same song on repeat until it’s embedded in my soul… or until I ruin it just a little bit 😅

My #1 artist for the past few years has been Russ—IYKYK. But I’m also constantly spinning tracks by SZA, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Taylor Swift, Jhene Aiko, and Kehlani. Big feelings and bops? Yes please.

Other go-to faves: 🎵 Alec Benjamin, Hobo Johnson, blackbear, Macklemore, NF, Eminem, Jack Johnson, Rebelution, Satsang, Mod Sun, Khai Dreams, gnash, Post Malone, Harry Hudson, Travis Thompson, Khalid, Noah Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Joyner Lucas… and honestly, way too many more to name.

Also—not music but still in my ears constantly—I’m a loyal listener of the Crime Junkie podcast 🕵🏼‍♀️ Nothing like a little true crime to accompany crafting or a long drive.

I’m a collector of small joys and little pretties 💫 I’m all about the details—textures, colors, and tiny treasures that make life a bit more magical.

Some of my favorite things include: 🌸 Flowers + plants (real or illustrated, I’m not picky!) 🌿 Nature-inspired anything 🐾 Animals (bonus points if they’re in sticker form) ✉️ Stationery, washi tape, postcards, and cute paper goods 🎨 Stickers, pins, patches, magnets, and keychains 📸 Photography + photo strips 📚 Harry Potter nostalgia (Hufflepuff vibes forever)

I gravitate toward earthy tones, cozy textures, witchy touches, and soft cottagecore aesthetics. My favorite colors are green and yellow—they just make everything feel a little more warm and alive.
