Hi everyone! My name is Addie and I am 27 years old and from Minnesota!

I am currently a third year senior in college! I am majoring in Exercise Science and Graphic Design! Art is something I have loved my entire life, so recently I added Graphic Design to my college career so I could pursue that dream while finishing my other major I started as well.
(UPDATE May 2022: Just graduated with a degree in Exercise Science, WOO!!)

I love Pokemon everything! My favorite Pokemon is Swablu because he reminds me of my little Budgie! And my second favorite is Natu because he reminds me of my Kiwi bird!!

I have 2 parakeets who are my little angels. Their names are Kiwi and Budgie. Budgie is albino and Kiwi is a beautiful green and yellow! :) I love anything that has to do with birds!

(UPDATE August 2021) Sadly, my little baby Kiwi is no longer with us.. I miss him so very much and I do more and more as each day goes by. He is truly my real guardian angel now.

(AUGUST 2022) I just adopted a new little baby bird yesterday as well, his name is Lemon!! I love him so much already. Budgie was very lonely after Kiwi's passing so I thought it was time to find him a friend

One of my biggest dreams in life is to open my very own Bird Sanctuary and Rescue. I want to make a difference in birds lives and help birds in need any way I can.

My favorite bands include:

Ice Nine Kills
Motionless in White
Slipknot
Bullet for My Valentine

I love metal music and grew up on 80's hair bands from my parents!

My favorite movie of ALL TIME is Mars Attacks!

I am a big fan of the horror genre and some other favorite movies of mine include:

Christine,
Hotel Transylvania,
Silent Hill,
Dumbo,
E.T.

My favorite author of all time is Stephen King! My favorite books by him are:

The Shining
Salems' Lot

I also enjoy reading any sort of horror or thriller genre and Non-Fiction books about the paranormal!

I am also a huge fan of the Left Behind books by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. I own every single book in the series!

My favorite TV series of all time is Ink Master. I love this show because I have always wanted to be a tattoo artist but was always too afraid to pursue my dream. I finally decided to go for it after spending 6 years in college and changing my major!

Another show I enjoy is Ghost Adventures. I have a major interest in the paranormal and this is a show that I truly enjoy watching over and over again!

My favorite crafts to make are ATC's. I started making them in January of 2020 and have been addicted ever since! My collection has grown so much and I love all of the art I have from people who enjoy doing the same thing as me.

I am also creating a scrapbook of my birdies, so if you have anything bird related you would like to send, I would GREATLY appreciate anything!!

I also love to create Memorydex cards, junk journals, gluebooks.... honestly... anything crafty!!

Please let me know if my swap is not to your liking or you don't receive a swap from me before rating a 3 or 1, I love making people happy and it truly makes me so sad seeing someone unhappy. I would love to make up for it in anyway possible, just don't be afraid to reach out! :)

I rate the same day that I receive a swap! So if I have not rated you yet, I have not received your swap. I do live in a rural area, so sometimes swaps may take a day or two longer to reach me!

This is just a list of some random items if you need ideas for any specific swaps! You do NOT have to send me something off this list at all, its just to give ideas if anyone wants them!! I truly appreciate and I am grateful for anything you choose to send to me!

I also always keep everything you send me! Nothing will ever be thrown away. I cherish every little thing that is sent to me! Even down to every single greeting card/note and envelope I get. Each swap holds a special place in my heart and they always will. This site has truly saved me so I want to keep everything! Thank you so much everyone
