I promise to post a real life update soon, but for now... Today's thefridayfive!

I'm not really working on any crafts at the moment, but I'm planning on getting back into knit and crochet and maybe some felt crafts... Mom got a Cricut Maker for her craft room! It should come today, actually! I'm not sure what model exactly, but yeah, I'm excited!

I have two Blythe dolls (which a lot of people think are creepy/spooky-looking - but I think they're just adorable!), a bunch of Barbie dolls, lots of Kewpie dolls, and a whole lot more!! I don't have them all displayed though, just a few!
5. Do you fear the deep ocean, or does its unknown depths excite you?

Found these questions on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif) thefridayfive.
1. Do you write letters on a regular basis or just for special occasions?
On the regular! I have a few old friends I write to, as well as a penpal from 2006 that I recently reconnected with! Sometimes I'm not the most prompt, but I try to make up for it by sending little goodies with my letters!
2. Do you stockpile cards and notepaper?
Hell yeah! I have quite a large collection of stationery, pens, etc.
3. Are you in the habit of writing thank you notes or just send something via email and call it good enough?
I try to write thank-you notes, but if that's not feeling possible or if I'm taking too long, I just send a text or email!
4. Do you have any stickers or fun ink stamps?
Oh, yes! I love stickers, and have a huge sticker collection! I used to hoard them, but now I try to use them whenever I can, and share them with penfriends!
5. Without looking (and Iβm going to have to trust you here), how many stamps do you currently have on hand (a roll, a sheet, something like that)?
About 50, including a sheet of my favorite John Lennon stamps - those only go on special mail, since they don't make 'em anymore! |

I don't know if there was one I was that passionate about catching every week!

Seinfeld, Family Guy, and to a lesser extent, Will & Grace. |
