Update: June 2017 Hello fellow swappers! I have been taking time away from here because there has been a lot of changes going on in my life, which has left me little time or energy to swap and be able to meet deadlines. So, I took some time away. Now, we are getting ready to move to another province!! So life is really busy!!

I love swapping, but I will have to stay away for now until life settles down...a little anyways!! Hahaha I do hope you all have a great day and know that you are fantastic just for being you!! Manda! MichelleGG

I currently live in western Newfoundland. My family (married 14 yrs and 2 young children) and I have been here for just over 2 years. We moved from western Canada after living there for 12 years. We dream of living somewhere where there is no snow ;p But alas, everywhere we have lived has lots of snow. ;p I Love to read. I will forgo sleep and cleaning the house to read :D lol I also love photography, all kinds of music (reading while listening), hiking, boating (and reading), swimming (when there is no snow and lots of sun!), fishing, bon fires, hunting for sea treasures when by the ocean, travelling and seeing and experiencing things off the beaten path....which geocaching is helping my family and I do. We just started recently and we love it!! Oh and I love to read...did I mention that ;p lol I also love snail mail.of all kinds!! Postcrossing is a new hobby that I am loving :) Writing letters is an old love that is being rediscovered :)

Side note for when I mail: I mark my items as sent when I drop them the mailbox. But die to living in a smaller community the mail is not very quick so that means that I Amy have marked as sent forna swap but there will be a different date of postmark. Once I have dropped in the mail I hope for quick delivery, but alas, things can move slow here :( So please keep this mind if the postmarks are not the same as the date sent.... :)

Very eclectic in my music preferences :) just no heavy/death metal or certain types of jazz. But I go from a capella to hip hop to dance to the top 40's, indie, folk, classical! I am always on the look out for new tunes :)

But if you want to know some of the artists I listen to, here is a partial list:

Ingrid Michaelson

Rhodes

Birdy

Haley Kiyoko

Melanie Martinez

Catey Shaw

Mary Lambert

Demi Lovato

Taylor Swift

Selena Gomez

Beethoven, Bach, Vivaldi, Chopin

Sia

Philip Philips

Meghan Trainor

etc etc etc!!

I have to many to list!!! I love reading.and I read a wide variety of genres. I do tend to read a lot of paranormal and fantasy. Crime fiction, sci-fi, zombie and end of the world. Got a book you love and think I may like it??!! Let me know and I will check it out :)

Right now I am going all over the place in genres, from books by Matt Haig and Kristen Hannah to Neal Stephenson and Stephen Chbosky. I like reading books that movies are based on, more fiction movies then true story. :) My favorite author is Sherrilyn Kenyon. I love her books Acheron and Styxx the most. Another favorite of mine is The Host by Stephanie Meyer. I am not one for reading books over and over again, because I tend to remember them to much, but I have read The Host three times...and the 4th time is coming up soon :) (haven't read it yet!)

Here's a partial list of authors that I do read (and I do mean partial!!!)

Patricia Cornwell John Sanford Christine Feehan Karen Robards Matt Haig Sherrilyn Kenyon Veronica Roth Suzanne Collins Paula Hawkins Kass Morgan Kay Hooper (her paranormal not romance...like the Bishop's files) Jeffery Deaver John Green Scott Sigler Louisa Hall James Dashner Dan Brown Lois Lowry Brenda Hiatt Jason D. Marrow

I am ALWAYS on the hunt for more authors to read!!!

I love watching movies :D It's easier to tell you the genres and the actors then the actual movie :p X-men Marvel movies New Star Trek movies Vin Diesel Hugh Jackman Russell Crowe Kate Beckinsale Zombie Movies Some drama movies Based on a true story Breaking dawn 1&2 All Hunger Games movies (and the books) Divergent series (and books!) And on and on :)

Just started watching Orange is the New Black :) Heroes supernatural Bones Criminal Minds Hoarders Greys Anatomy Documentaries The 100

I actually don't watch a lot of TV and most shows I do see are on Netflix ;)

I am not picky in what I receive. I will like anything you send me if you have taken your time with it. Please don't send me unusable junk...I make enough and keep my own. If I receive a swap that I cannot use, I will pass it on.

So here is some basic detail about swapping that you may want to know:

I love:

handmade envies

pretty paper

stickers (except itty bitty ones)

washi tape

gel pens

glitter pens

adult coloring books/postcards (I really love it when you color it yourself)

Starting to develop a love of stamps...there are so many cool ones!

I love ALL colors...really I do! But I especially love cobalt blue, turquoise, and dark pinks. But any color or shade makes me happy :)

Pens....actually it's a fetish...I can NEVER have to many pens...it's impossible :P

Postcards...ALL of them!!

I hope this helps for those looking for a little more specific details :P
