About Me
I've always been an artistic person. I took a lot of art classes in college and 10 years later these swaps are getting my artistic talents flowing again!
I love making art journals and gluebooks. I enjoy sketching, painting and collaging. I also love collecting other peoples sketches or drawings as well.
I absolutely love ATCs!!! They are so much fun to make and I just love receiving these little unique pieces of artwork!
I also enjoy writing and participate in NanoWriMo yearly. Thanks to this challenge, I managed to write several books.
I always rate kindly even if I don't particularly like what you send. But most of the things that I've gotten are amazing! If you send me something that is not on my list of likes I don't mind. I think its just fun to get something in the mail besides bills and advertisings. I look forward to checking my mailbox now and its a blessing that we have so many options to swap with here! I love this site!

My favorites are: The Viscount Who Loved Me, Today, Tonight and Tomorrow A Court of Thorns and Roses, The Faerie Guardian Series, The Alder Tales Series, Cloaked, Alienated, Dragons Bait, A Kiss in Time, The Only Alien on the Planet, The Duff, Act Your Age, Eve Brown
