UPDATE (01/18) : I'm slowly getting back into swapping after personal issues during the past months. Sorry for my late answers for those who contacted me. I wish you all a very Happy New Year 2012 and I'm more than happy to be back here :)

Please note : my flickr album and my blog may contain spoilers!

I am a 25 years old girl living in the beautiful city of Quebec, Canada. I spend my everyday life with two lazy cats named Barracuda and Looping and I am currently studying agroenvironnemental engineering.

I'm a huge fan of books and litterature. I especially like french litterature of the 19th century and Guy de Maupassant, Victor Hugo, Jules Verne and Charles Beaudelaire are just a few of my favourite writers. I'm also a fan of crime novels and I really adore Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle books. Any book used (but in great condition) related to my likes will be great for me (in english or french) so if you have some of these books to swap or trade, I'll be happy!

I rarely watch TV except for a few documentaries mostly about nature and animals. I do like watching movies sometimes, I have a small collection of DVD's and my favourites are : Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Ice Age I and II, Pirate of the Caribbean, Les Gendarmes, Apocalypto, The Name of the Rose, Schindler's List AND the Hercule Poirot serie with David Suchet.

I love crafts since as long as I can remember, and even if sometimes I'm so busy with school and part-time job, I always find time for crafting. And I love doing private swaps and trade, so feel free to PM me!

Oh, and I speak French! ^-^

... and I'm collecting them! Since a few swaps I made a lot of mini-zines (STICK serie, Chief Pickle and a few others) and I also have one in french related to my travel in Paris in 2005. If you're a zinester or a beginner and would like to swap zines, please let me know!
