**UPDATE 9/12/21 - I will be taking a break from swapping as we finish up our renos, list our house for sale, and hopefully move! Hopefully it will only be for a month or 2.

I live in Moncton, New Brunswick, on the East coast of Canada with my wonderful husband, and our 2 cats, Luna & Artemis. I love living near the Atlantic ocean, & go searching for sea glass whenever I can. Along with the millions of arts/ & crafts I do, I also enjoy reading (audio books pretty well exclusively now), cooking/baking, gardening, and playing the occasional video game.

*If you check out my Instagram or Youtube, and are currently waiting on a swap package from me, be warned there could be spoilers for your package!

My current top wants (I will do a private swap for these, just msg me!):

• I'm currently gathering things for a few themed journals I'm going to be making: Chocolate, Vintage Sewing, Rainbow, bees, pastels. Anything in these themes is very welcome!
• Pink mosaic bits/wee tiles/larger beads, as I’m gathering for a pink mosaic project.
• Postcards - any theme (I have listed a few favourites in the Postcard section below, but welcome any really).
• Anything Animal Crossing themed! I love New Horizons, and would love anything to do with it. Even art/crafts you make yourself! My favourite villagers/characters are Judy, Zell, Gala, Meringue, Celeste, but again, any character will make me happy!

Crafts I do and would love to receive, or receive supplies for:

• Papercrafts: Mail art (ATCs, inchies, recipe cards, journaling (art, junk, travel, gluebook - I have also started binding my own journals, collage, handmade envelopes, stamping, tags, cards, etc - Any and all paper things are welcome! Ephemera, handmade paper, interesting papers, stickers (no planner/reward/teacher pls), vintage paper bits, vintage photos, stuff from FLOW magazine & similar

• Rug Hooking (traditional, not latch hook): always looking for wool fabric in light or bright colours, I already have lots of dark neutrals

• Sewing: fabric I use mostly quilting cottons, but like other fabric if they're textured and interesting; cool thread ; buttons

• Fiber Crafts: needle felting, spinning, crochet, knitting, etc (always looking for wool roving)

• Mixed Media/Painting/Drawing - in journals, on canvasses, etc (love watercolour paper, and bits and bobs for mixed media)

• Misc - Ukrainian Easter Eggs, mosaic (love wee tiles!), polymer clay, jewelry making (glass/ceramic/handmade beads always welcome). Honestly, if I don't know how to do an art or craft, it's probably on my list of want to learn, so feel free to send me patterns/supplies for anything you think I might like)

Random Themes I like:

• Anything in BRIGHT rainbow or neon colours, OR soft vintage pastels (I know, such a contradiction lol).
• NYC
• Neat vintage/antique things - ephemera, photos with people in them, postcards, calling cards, gift wrap, advertisements, etc
• kawaii (especially anything stationery like memo sheets, note pads, writing sets, pens, washi tape, stickers, etc) Jinbesan is my fave
• Sailor Moon
• Animal Crossing
• Terry Pratchett's Discworld
• Anything Maneki Neko themed
• Space/galaxy related things
• Cats
• Okapi
• Bees
• Dinosaurs
• Coffee/tea/snacks/sweets/chocolate
• Enamel Pins - I seem to have started a collection of them accidentally
• Blythe & Pullip Dolls
• miniatures - collect 1/12 scale dollhouse minis, but welcome any scale
• my husband Rob collects Superman stuff and hot sauces, so either are always welcome

These are the ATC themes I actively collect, but I do welcome atc's in any theme.

• Pink Poodles (this is my fave ATC theme to collect) (the rest are in no particular order)
• NYC (especially vintage)
• monochromatic colours, or all rainbow colours together on one card

I like swapping all different types of bags (sticker, memo, postcard, stamps, goodie, etc.). I'm not into x-slip bags, or bookmark bags (I only read audiobooks), but will pass them along if I get them. I also like sticker slams. I love decos!! I'll always take extra bags and decos. I had joined a few swaps for friendship books/sheets, but found they're really not my thing. Again though, if I do get some I will gladly pass them along.

Postcards: These are the card themes I'm currently collecting. I like them either way; blank or used.

• NYC (especially vintage)
• authentic vintage
• vintage planes (like airliners, not Wright brothers)
• bright & rainbow colours
• kawaii
• Art/artistic/illustrated
• space/sci-fi
• Cats
• Superman
• really any other theme I have listed as a like on my profile!

• I don't like anything cutesy country style, like teddy bears or precious moments (although I love kawaii - Japanese cuteness!).
• I don't want anything religious please.
• Food dislikes: I'm allergic to apricots. I don't like black licorice, hot cinnamon or peppermint (spearmint is okay).
• Smells I don't like: strong perfumey smells, lavender, cinnamon, eucalyptus, baby powder
