This is my street-side mailbox. I use it to send most of my swaps (unless I go in-person to the Suntree P.O.) All my swaps are sent on time, if not early.

Profile updated as of: 30 AUGUST 2025

Please scroll all the way down to the very end section labeled “Do Not Send” if you’d like to just review my 🛑 Dislikes list. 🛑

Thank you for your consideration!

• Hearts don’t cost me anything! I look for reasons to give them when I rate.

I also practice the "platinum rule" of swapping by sending what I think the other person would want to receive. This is different from the "golden rule" because it has nothing to do with what I would like. Many people here have different taste than I do, which is why I actually read my partner's profile for inspiration and insight into what they enjoy.

My hearts are not tied to any extra items that you include in the swap (I don’t want random toss-ins).

I don’t rate based on how the package is decorated either (there are Postmaster’s who strictly despise sticky embellishments on mail because it gums up their machinery. Every Postmaster is different and can interpret postal regulations accordingly).

To me, a heart means some extra effort or resources were involved with a swap.

I try not to "over-think" the giving of a heart by withholding them on type-1 or type-2 swaps either. To me, a postcard can feel “extra special” to the recipient even though it’s not technically a “package”!

The point is: When your swap shows me that you thought about me, I’m happy to share a heart! I hope that you'll consider sharing yours with those of us who give their best efforts to send happy mail as well.

A Few Friendly Reminders:

Partner/Coordinator Communication will take place should my swap status change for any reason.

Missing Mail? Please direct message me if you don't receive something from me. I keep a photo log of swap contents and packaging, along with tracking numbers, when applicable.

Spoiler-Alert: My Flickr account may have photographs of swaps I’ve sent.

Postage Due? I have a postal scale. 😁 But, if this happens please send me a picture of your receipt and I'll send you the money back via PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle. You can simply Direct-Message me, and I will reply with my email address.

Allergy Alert: My home is smoke-free and pet-friendly. But I also shed quite often, due to my autoimmune disease Hashimoto’s. I genuinely apologize ahead of time if there’s a stray hair stuck somewhere. I give all my outgoing mail a thorough once-over to keep things as neat and tidy as possible. Happy mail that leaves a good impression on my receiving partner(s) is very important to me.

Enjoy Supporting Small Businesses? This little STATIONERY store near me has the best owners ever! I just love Suada & Brendan! Some of the items in my swaps come from their Lighthouse Paper Co.

BONUS: If you're a Hobonichi fan this store is literally the only Partner Shop where you can buy your authentic products in the state of FLORIDA!

PRIVATE SWAPS: I enjoy all sorts of swaps! Small art booklets, junk journal, and collaborative art swaps have been my main interest these days. But I'm game for any sort, really. If interested, please contact me! Specifically, I am looking for someone who'd like to swap a mini (4.7 inch square) sketchbook like the ones they sell at five below for one dollar in the school supplies section. Also, anyone who wants to swap small fabric/ribbon scraps in an array of color/texture to make patches with!

🌺Aloha!🌺

My name is 🎵Harmony Joy🎶 (she/they) I like my name because it is a reminder of who I believe that I'm meant to be. Others refer to me as either "Harmony", "Joy", "Harmony-Joy" or 🍪"Cookie" (because of my last name) - call me whichever you please, just don't call me late for dinner! 🤣

My name is musically inspired because both of my biological parents were hippies. I am an atypical Berkeley ☮️-born and Nor-Cal foster-system raised “love child”, who now lives on the other side of the country. I met & married my husband (who's also neurodivergent) in the Sunshine State, while we were both active-duty Air Force.

Please respect my individuality.

In light of current media scare tactics and the ignorant messages I have received from others here, I am asking that you please refrain from assuming that you "know" me just because of the two states that I have lived in. Confirmation bias is a dangerous poison I will not partake of.

The landscapes in CA are some of the most beautiful in the world and I will always love the fact that I could hike among the redwoods, sip wine in the vineyards, go white water rafting, mountain bike, surf, then dirt bike in the desert sands, all in the same day. But I do not align with any of the chaos that state seems to represent in others' minds.

I also live in a touristy area of a state that has been known for some prejudiced subcultures. As much as I appreciate the green everglades and blue waters of the Keys, I am not aligned with the perceived "norm" of this state either.

I am not typical in any way and I really don't like to be put in boxes with labels. Your perceptions are not my reality.

Please respect that I am here to simply share happy mail.

Leave all the opinionated narrow-mindedness out of my mailbox (literally and electronically).

💞My spouse and I have three neurodiverse children (two daughters, one son) and one grandson who calls me "Cookie". Children have always been my favorite part of life, and I get more enjoyment from 💙 Mother’s Day than my own birthday!🎁 This also includes all my fur-babies (past & present). 😉

🐾 My furred-family consists of 3 felines & 2 canines: Ella (a rescued Great Dane & Pointer mix), Bubba (an AKC Golden Retriever), two tortoiseshell short-hair grand-mollies named Lily and Piper. Then, last but not least, Theo, who is my very cuddly ginger tabby grand-gib.🐾

On May 25, 2023 my sweet Kyna (a Carolina Dog) passed away. ❤️‍🩹 I miss her every day. She was the best service dog I’ve ever had.

Perhaps you can surmise that I've always really enjoyed animals. Especially my dogs! I think that my animals help me cope with my “people problems” better. 😉

Whether they're finned, feathered, furry, or humanoid, my ohana is “my whole world” 💕🌎 And I believe that family is who we make it, even beyond DNA.

I’m proud to be a Mama Bear! 🐻🧸 Which is just one more reason why Bettie White will always be my favorite Golden Girl! R.I.P.

My family says I’m “the jack of all trades, master of some.” 😆 I’m never bored! 🎨

So, besides my “V.I.Peeps”, I also enjoy many hobbies:

• (indoor) Alterations, Art-Journaling, Ballroom Dancing, Card-Making, Coloring, Crocheting, DIY, Face-Painting, Genealogy, Painting, Paper-Making, Pottery, Pressed Flower Craft (oshibana), Reading, Sewing, Smash/Scrap-booking, Watching Movies, Weaving, Writing, and West African Dancing.

(I own a Gemini Pro, Sizzix Big Shot Plus, Portable Tim Holtz Sidekick, & Cricut Explore Air2)

• (outdoor) Fishing, Hiking, Horseback Riding, Hula Dancing, Kayaking, Rollerblading, Shooting, Stand-up Paddle Boarding, Swimming, and Shopping.

• I 💙 crafting! I like to try new things too. My current hobbies are making booklets, ATCs & APCs. My portfolio has a mix of fiber art, beading, woodwork, and pyrography. My style is "moody" because I make what I feel. Sometimes I go for inky grunge and painterly splatters, but I also like clean-and-simple (CAS) designs.

Due to some health issues, I've experienced some intermittent hand tremors and blurred vision. These are mostly under control now. But just in case I can't art as well as I usually do, I’d like my partner(s) to know I'll always give swaps my best efforts and take my time. This just means that I may send swaps a bit closer to the deadline date. I’m also learning to embrace the occasional imperfections and see them as beautiful, unique qualities. By adopting a "Wabi-sabi” approach to my art I feel liberated from the perfectionist pressures. I truly appreciate your patience and hope that you will tolerate my different abilities. 😊

• My current collections are: Cartophilia (trading cards) to include ATC/APC and the 7-of-❤️’s playing card (in all sizes & shapes)

• I’ve also started collecting the 7-of-clubs Poker Cards to use for a memorial project in honor of my late G’Mom Cook 3/17/19-1/1/20. The club looks like a shamrock ☘️ and they always remind me of her! We would celebrate our birthdays together with my mother every year, but since she passed and the pandemic began, that tradition stopped. I’m carrying on a new tradition of my own now, using these poker cards to record a fond memory, so I can dwell on the positive aspects of her life rather than dwelling on her absence.💚

• I enjoy listening to audiobooks and different genres of music. My go-to’s are usually classic rock & reggae. I have an all-in-one Radio/CD/Cassette/Record Player in my craft room, and I 🖤 my vinyl albums!

• I feel most at peace at the ocean where I can lose all sense of time hunting for sea glass, heart-shaped rocks, and tiny shells to use in my crafts. I also enjoy fishing, but I'm not cut out for boats! I've got a fair pair of fins 🧜🏽‍♀️, but no "sea legs!" 🤢

• I enjoy spending quality time at libraries, museums, galleries, or art studios. This is because I really enjoy folk arts & handicrafts. I ❤️ experiential arts. I've recently discovered the amazingly diverse world of fiber artists in my local area so I'm enjoying visits to quilt and sewing stores a lot too!

• In my youth, I enjoyed traveling the Americas and spent time living in Chile as a foreign exchange student! Now, I prefer to travel in good company, whenever possible. However, most of my current travel has been vicarious via postcards.

I 💜 snail 🐌 mail! 💌

• When writing, please use neat, legible handwriting, print, or typed font.* No need to worry about perfect penmanship, I just want to decipher what you’re saying. Also, please use **dark ink colors on light backgrounds because I cannot see light on light colors (this doesn't apply to paintings because I'll most likely be able to tell what the image is).

❤️🧡💛💚💙💖💜🤎🖤🤍

I think it's important for others to know that I am a protective person. I've lived long enough to know that not everyone has good intentions. I despise trolls (always have, even when they were a rainbow-haired trend in the 90s) and people who instigate, trick, or bully others are the root of all evil in my book. I'm also a Pisces and my discernment/perception of people has been accurate more often than not throughout this life. I'm a hugger (which is important to understand if you ever meet me in person) and a defender of the underdog.

I praise anti-bias, multicultural, and decent people who are aware of their human propensity toward prejudice but actively seeking to reduce it through continuing education.

I am a LifeGuard & Peer Support Volunteer

There are many factors that can contribute to suicide risk. An estimated 90% of people who take their own lives have a health condition that is mistreated or undiagnosed. A suicide attempt is a sign that someone is in crisis. It should always be taken seriously and never ignored.

That is why I will not tolerate cyber-bullying in any of my swaps.

Known offenders are forever restricted from participation in my groups/swaps.

Will you take the LifeGuard pledge?

Report Cyberbullying!

I am 3 hours ahead of Swap-bot time!

FLORIDA hurricane season is from June 1st through November 15th.

• As a swap coordinator, I often "close" my swaps a day earlier than the posted date because I can be a "night owl" and do my work while others are asleep! :-)

• Posted swaps that are left without any interest for 72 hours, might be deleted to perhaps re-post at a different time.

• Sometimes my swaps have a Sunday send-by date even though there’s no postal service because swaps can be dropped off in the “blue”(outgoing) mail collection bins, and I often drop by my P.O. on the way to do other errands.

• If I’ve put a swap in my street-side mailbox for outgoing pickup, but the mail carrier doesn’t come, then I will unmark it from being sent that day. My mailbox is not water-tight and items left overnight can become damp, warped, and unseal if I don’t bring them back inside the house. Florida is VERY HUMID and we get a lot of afternoon showers (especially in July, August, and September). This is also why there may be clear packing tape on the outer swap packaging.

• I am no longer on mail carrier route #76 which was considered a last stop so, there were a few occasions when my mail wasn’t delivered/picked up. They've now assigned us to route #51 and the mail carrier is not friendly. In fact, when my neighbor was holding a yard sale and there were two cars parked by our mailboxes, they simply marked our mail: "NO ACCESS TO DELIVERY LOCATION" and never even spoke to my husband who was literally standing at the end of our driveway. Thankfully, because I have "my USPS informed delivery digest daily" set up to send me text messages, I let him know. He crossed the street and waited for the carrier to circle back then asked for our mail. They were wearing an "Orlando Pride" hat and matching rainbow gloves, so I gathered they did not feel comfortable being approached in-person for safety reasons. However, we were able to convince them to begrudgingly hand my husband our mail. The mail carrier stated: "the law requires a 15 foot clearance around all mailboxes and we do not have to get out of the vehicle" then drove away before we could even finish saying "thank you". I'm sad that my days of a cordial connection with my mail carrier are now gone. Hopefully, not forever.

• Since I am a philatelist who appreciates all things genuinely USPS, I do want to remember those who made my swapping history a genuine pleasure:

Penny, was my regular pre-pandemic carrier who officially retired to care for her Veteran son who is slowly recovering from organ transplant surgery. She was the cool lady that introduced me to Mr. Zip!

Chris who was a funny weekday mailman that moved on to bigger routes, never hesitated to leave me with a large corrugated plastic tote of "bulk mail" deliveries that he'd walk to my doorstep.

Then the wonderful mail carrier named “Dottie” who moved on to raise her 3rd child, a pleasant surprise, this October. She always smiled and waved no matter what kind of day she was having!

• My servicing mail station is still the USPS Apollo Annex of Melbourne, Florida (Phone: (321) 255-7589). They're near impossible to get a hold of on the phone or in-person (I've waited half an hour to pick up a package from them before).

• Date extensions may be granted on a case-by-case basis for reliable swappers who communicate with me. I am a coordinator who understands that real life happens outside of this ‘bot. 💙 I also understand that circumstances can change in an instant, and this site is not a priority when real life happens. But, please communicate! I don’t think it should take months to login and at least post a note on your profile. At least let someone know when you’re out of commission. That way we don’t think the worst or grow sick with worry.

• I only coordinate swaps that I am willing/able to angel. I also make a sincere effort to vet each participant before assigning partners.

If you end up needing a swap angel'd, just send me a message after you’ve contacted your partner(s).

IMPORTANT: When I angel a swap it is strictly to ensure each participant receives something in-kind in return. It is not in any way meant to pressure someone into rating another individual. How someone does their rating is up to that swapper, and none of my business. Even if I ask for kindness and understanding of another person's extenuating circumstances, I will never tell anyone how to rate another person.

• • I {rate} incoming swaps within 48 hours of their receipt. It’s my practice to only archive them once received/rated!
• • I don't "police" the postmark dates. They’re completely unreliable and have been counterfeited by swappers here before. 👍🏼 🖐 I won't rate a 3/1 on a swap without first communicating with my partner(s) and the swap coordinator.
• • I usually follow up on swaps if it's been thirty (30) USPS business days from the date I logged my swap as sent, (and at least two weeks from the deadline date) but no rating has been posted. I'll contact my partner about a resend because I know postal services can lose things sometimes.
• • I value your feedback and comments when rating, and I try to make an effort to respond to raters as soon as I am able. Even “silent” ratings I’ve received will often receive a simple “thank you” to show my appreciation for putting in the time to rate (although I am never fond of a silent rating). There are times when I cannot respond to every rating, but this does not mean that I am any less grateful for the valuable time that you’ve invested in me or the happy mail! I promise.

##I'm more cautious about trusting ratings and groups after encountering some dishonest swappers:

• There are swappers here who maintain a perfect 5 overall rating yet take peoples art and craft items.

One swapper, @Allegrae has taken ATC, postage-paid envelopes, and my late Grandma Cook’s heirloom haberdashery items from me. This betrayal has left me feeling deeply hurt and angry. During a recent session of EMDR therapy I learned that this event lead to my feelings of powerlessness linked to childhood trauma from being a foster kid who was moved from place to place using plastic trash bags. My brain's connection to loss of items extends beyond simply belongings because it represented times in my life when I lost stability, dignity, and a sense of belonging.

I’m not ready to reconcile with this swapper yet, especially because my Grandma and I shared a close bond. Taking her belongings, even if I intended to share one, has shattered my trust entirely. Allegrae knows better but shows no remorse. which only makes me feel ill. 🤢 But what’s most appalling is that Allegrae claims her grandparents are important to her in her profile, yet disrespects mine.

I've uploaded pictures of the heirloom haberdashery items I sent this swapper and all our communications are on my Flickr account. 9/11/2023 2200 hours: I apologize that I tagged these incorrectly and I have resolved the matter. Thank you to the two kind members who pointed out my error. These items are now restricted to my personal albums and should not show up on the site homepage anymore. —————————————————————

To maximize successful happy mail deliveries (and minimize waste), I will be using Pirate Ship to mail most of my packages because their rates are cheap-aaar! 🏴‍☠️

Sadly, my craft room is still a bit disorderly! In September 2021, we had broken pipes in the walls that we had repaired via insurance. But then, our roof leaked and flooded the front bedroom before Christmas 2022. My house is partly packed up and/or in a nearby storage unit. All this to say, I have a lot of hidden supplies to create with that are still difficult to find.

Int’l Mail Suspensions

SOAK Old Postage Stamps

USPS Adventures of a Letter video circa 1985 🤣 I just laugh when the mom exclaims “My son is a letter!” It’s so nostalgic.

ZIP Code™ - The Basics

Want to make sure the domestic mail that you’re sending is processed quickly and efficiently? Then always use the standardized street address with ZIP+4® format!

Did you know USPS doesn’t want any punctuation in delivery addresses? In fact, all letters are to be in CAPS-lock and black ink on a white/light background.

Example

By addressing mail appropriately you’ll ensure that they are processed smoothly by mail sorting equipment. Using the standardized address with ZIP+4® format alleviates possible delays from manual handling.

Try this USPS lookup tool to find the standardized address and ZIP+4® you’re mailing to:

USPS

📩Postage & Postcards✉ - Handmade postcards are always welcome. But I really do not want any more random blank postcards, please. I am technically trying to get rid of the blank ones that I have because the USPS does not prioritize these anymore, so they get lost more than mail that is in envelopes with return addresses on them because there's no accountability for postcards.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💗💜💗🤎🤍🖤💝 I heart art!

Please share your PC collage, coloring, drawing, graphic design, painting, or photography. I also like receiving “print-on-demand” PCs by Zazzle, Red Bubble, Café Press, Society 6, etc. If it’s a postcard that you think I will enjoy (even if the swap says "No"), mail it and let me know why! I promise I’ll never rate down for thoughtful intentions!

• I always enjoy receiving postage stamps from the Post-crossing movement or vintage/retro stamps with postal workers, mailboxes, and letters on them.

🍪🥠Special Request:

Please add a cookie to the back of my postcard or envelope🍪🥠 I can add them to my “Cookie” themed junk journal!

*I also ask that my postcards please be sent ✏written🖊 on, but in an✉ envelope🌎 (if the swap allows a choice). I understand that this request will require standard letter-rate postage and not a postcard stamp, but it's important to me that my postcards arrive alive. LOL! The envelope (or clear sleeve) simply protects the postcard from being smudged or torn by the USPS machinery. Flat letters and postcards go through at least two machines at the USPS it's routed through; even if you request a hand-cancellation. Nowadays, there's simply no way around the IMbarcoder and Flat Sequencing systems...in other words, for letters and postcards it's impossible to avoid several stages of automated mail handlers along the journey.

Here's my sizes for clothing: I wear a unisex T-shirt in size Large, pants are a Women's size 10, and shoes are an extra wide Men's size 10. I like fabric scrunchies, bandanas, and boho bandeau wraps for my hair (especially if they're a soft, stretchy fabric). Please nothing with animal prints, glitter, pleathers, or metal pieces (my hair is very fine and breaks easily).

• Some swappers like to have a list to “shop” from, while others feel overwhelmed by too many ideas. So, I've tried to create a balance in my profile by listing some of the things I like. This is not an exhaustive list, 😉 but I hope it helps my swap partners.

Please know that you can breathe easy because my default mode is to find the good in whatever is mailed my way. 😉 😃 😊

        **Thank YOU for thinking of me!**
