Hello, everyone!

My name's Kelly, I'm 26, and I live in a small apartment in central New York. I'm an avid bookworm (to the point where my shelves are overflowing - yikes!). I'm looking to collect all kinds of postcards, bookmarks, and ephemera. I'd also love to have some pen pals, so if you're interested in corresponding, please let me know! I'm not really an arts-and-crafts type person, so I don't see myself getting into ATCs or smash books.

I have two tattoos - a small butterfly on my right calf, and a large winged angel with a Harry Potter quote on my left calf. While I may come off quiet and shy at first, I turn into a ridiculous dork once you get to know me. Looking forward to getting my swap on!

Note 6-1-2013 I can be a bit absent-minded at times. If you've sent me stuff, and I haven't rated you after an appropriate length of time, please PM and let me know. I'll fix it as soon as I can, because I want all you awesome swappers to have the ratings you deserve!

Note 6-8-2013 Celebrating 100 5s as of today! Yay!

Note 6-24-13 Celebrating 100 hearts as of today! Awesome!
