About Me

badge what I pledged

Hi I'm Mikki a 26 year old female from Canada. I've been married almost 2 years to my quirky awesome husband. In the summers we venture off into the wilds of the Canadian Rockies to treeplant (reforestation) 'till our hearts content...like modern day hippies, we even live in a van (in the summer instead of tenting it)

When we aren't planting we settle into a nice home routine, where I am able to pursure all my creative endeavors. 4 years at university in the History Honours program showed me that I love life when it's hands on and about helping people in a practical tangible way.

I love to dance, swim, treeplant, take photos, create things, hangout with my nephews, have stimulating conversations.

I'm not religious but spiritual, I like odd and curious things, my favourite color is green. I love trees, fly agaric mushrooms and stars.

Favorite Music

My music tastes seem strange or at odds when listed all together and don't seem like the 'typical' crafters' music.

Upbeat stuff that is dance-able, whatever they are playing in the clubs usually top 40, usually changes by the month... -Lil Wayne -Pussycat Dolls -Britney -Rhianna...etc

Classic Rock that reminds me of being 5 years old wearing the big stereo headphones... -Led Zepplin -Journey -Foreigner -AC/DC -Jimi Hendrix -Rolling Stones -The Eagles...etc

Strange music that is unlike anything I have ever heard... (if you can find this stuff listen on repeat) -Japanther -Grand Buffet

music that others would call "techno", I won't get into it but there are about a billion different sub-catergories of "techno" to the trained ear... -house and hard house -trance (goa & psy) -uplifting or hard enegry

Rap music new and old, a staple on my playlist -Snoop -Dr.Dre -Eazy E -Notorious B.I.G -TuPac -T.I -Lil Wayne -50 -Tony Yayo

Comment: First, the postage stamps, wonderful, a fantastic collection. Secondly, what fantastic photos, I love all three of them. I so enjoy taking my camera out and taking pictures of whatever strikes my fancy. Thank you so much for sharing. And thirdly, what a great envelope. I am keeping that too, so it is like getting 3 swaps in one. You are a reflection of the best of swapbot and I am glad I was your partner in this swap.
