Hello there! I'm a 26 year old elementary special education teacher living in rural Virginia. I grew up in central Pennsylvania and attended Shippensburg University. I have been a member of Swap-bot for a LONG time, but fell out of my very last swap almost 4 years ago when some problems arised in my life. I'm trying to reconnect with my swap recipient to make it right for her! I've recently started getting crafty again and am looking forward to successful and heartwarming swaps as an adult!

I'm a huge country fan. I grew up on it and it's stuck.
