Blanche

I live in Quebec, Canada with my husband and our two daughters. I'm a family doctor who loves her job and patients. When I'm not working or spending time with my family, you'll find me in my craft room.

I used to work as an illustrator and character designer for animation and video game studios before going back to school several years ago. I still love drawing cartoon, anime and video game characters.

I'm interested mainly in ATC swaps and tea swaps. Most of my ATCs are hand drawn or painted.

I enjoy drawing and painting (traditional and digital), sewing, knitting and crocheting, cross stitching, paper crafting, art journaling, sculpting, cooking.

I love writing, reading novels, biographies, manga and comic books, watching anime and playing video games.

I'm interested in learning new languages (I speak French and some English and wish to learn Spanish and Japanese), and in learning about other cultures.

The Zelda, Final Fantasy and Mario series; old console RPGs (like Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Lufia, Paladin's Quest, Illusion of Gaia, etc); Minecraft.

We play classic tabletop RPGs with friends whenever we get a chance. My husband is also a board game fan. His growing board game collection is slowly overtaking the living room.

The Japanese language, food and culture including but not limited to manga/anime.

Environmental issues, nature and wildlife. All sea life. I don't really have a favorite animal but I like siamese cats, birds, fish, snakes, turtles, iguanas, big cats, foxes and wolves among others.

Health, medicine, life and death, youth and old age, physical and emotional pain and the ways to ease it, hope. There is a huge place in my heart for the elderly, I love learning about their life stories and I think they deserve more respect than they often get in our north american society.

Fairy tales, especially when featuring witches. Mythology (any).

Pirates

Humor, especially the politically incorrect kind. I'm not easily offended.

I wouldn't describe myself as a religious person but I do have a spiritual side. I'm also respectful of other people's beliefs and it's not my style to judge or criticize.

I like blue and green the most. Neutrals such as black, grey, white or ivory as well as metallics are other favorites. Glitter is good, but I'm not a big fan of neon colors.

I love tea (black, green and herbal), mate tea, coffee, hot chocolate, instant drinks (especially if foreign or unusual). I'm madly in love with Japanese milk tea.

I like chocolate, caramel and other sweet treats, and I enjoy trying specialties from other countries (sweet, salty, spicy, anything as long as it's edible.)

No food allergies nor specific dislikes.

I always try my best to send quality art and items, and I appreciate every ATC and item I get. The thoughts and effort you put into your art are much more important to me than your level of artistic proficiency.

If you haven't received a swap from me or if you don't like what you received, please contact me before rating down. My swap partners matter to me and I'll be happy to send again.

Keep in mind I'm sending from Canada and mail may take more than two weeks to reach your country. Also, there may be a difference between my sent date and the postmark. That's because Canada Post only picks up the mail on weekdays, early in the morning.

When I receive a swap, I usually rate within a day or two. Please don't forget to rate me too. :)

Happy swapping!
