About Me

Hey there, I'm Amanda, I live in a small town near Toronto Ontario Canada.

I am an artist and art teacher. I love making collages with all of the beautiful papers and things people generously swap with me!

I love cats, the countryside, spending time in my garden, going camping, concerts, bookstores, hiking, painting outside, playing volleyball, road trips and beach days.

I love swap bot and am grateful for all of the swaps I am able to be a part of and the people I get to connect with.

Favorite Music

My heart lives in Rock n Roll!!!!

Favorite Movies

I am a little bit obsessed with Movies, way too many to mention but a few faves would be: Now and Then, Little Women, Rent, The Greatest Showman, La La Land, The Giver, The Never Ending Story, The Goonies, Scott Pilgrim, Juno, The way way back, The Princess Bride, Lady Bird.

Favorite Television

I love all kinds of TV.... Schitts Creek, Degrassi, Big Brother, Handmaids Tale, Gilmore Girls, Saved By The Bell, Jimmy Fallon.

Favorite Books

Awake and Dreaming, Little Women, A tree grows in Brooklyn, Harry Potter, Safe Haven.

Favorite Crafts

I love all types of art and any kind of craft! I mostly paint with acrylic but love to play around with oil and water colours as well. I love making collages, ceramics and printmaking -especially woodcuts. Anything to do with art or painting.. I am there!!

When it comes to crafts I love junk journals and scrapbooking. I collect all types of crafts, art kits, beads and love to paint rocks, birdhouses and whatever else I can get my hands on...

I love to collect different types of paper/ dress patterns/ cut outs/ old postage stamps/ book pages, for my collages. I love being able to use something no one wants anymore and create something new out of it.
