About Me

I'm 21.

I love snail mail with a fiery passion.

I want to save the world. But I can't ever seem to save myself.

I don't write in my journal enough.

I have 2 cats who keep me sane by being insane themselves.

I have the most amazing man in my life.

I love handwritten or handmade gifts. I'd prefer those over just about anything else.

I grew up in a really tough way and I'm a stronger person because of it.

I procrastinate on just about everything BUT swap-bot. :)

Music is my life.

I believe in love, peace, and my dreams.

I am almost finished with my Bachelor's degree in Psychology.

I love working with Autistic children. They light up my heart.

I love the Beatles, owls and the color green.

Update: HELLO! I am so sorry to those of you dealing with me being late on my current swaps. I just got home from the hospital today and I have pneumonia. I have been so sick these last few months. I've had pneumonia twice, 2 different stomach viruses, and sun poisoning this past weekend with a fever of 103.5. I promise I will get swaps out this week and I'm sorry I've been so behind. I'm just stuck in bed for a few days...

Dislikes/things I don't need

  • Packages without a handmade or handwritten touch
  • Anything overtly religious. I'm very spiritual but not religious. I don't mind multicultural religious imagery, but I don't really want any sort of Protestant items.
  • Hello Kitty/Kawaii/Anime
  • I HATE Twilight.

Please Note: Just because I don't like something, doesn't mean I won't send it to someone who does.

AND, I am allergic to cheap metals, especially Nickel, so I can only use sterling silver, stainless steel, or gold. It's not that I won't love it, I just can't wear it.
