hey!! I'm Whitney. I like making things and doing stuff to keep my somewhat short attention span occupied. Things I currently love doing are crafting in many forms, sewing, watching movies, listening to music, making themed mix CD's, and drawing. I am also interested in graphic design, stationary design, etc.

My roommate and I are in the process of starting a business, so we're pretty excited and busy with that!

My current favorite craft is collage/found art.

A few bands I love include Self, Radiohead, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Tortoise, Ben Folds, Ratatat, Of Montreal, and Architecture in Helsinki.

As far as genres go, I pretty much like most anything except country.

Introduce me to new tunes!

knitting, sewing, drawing/painting, mix CD's, care packages, making stationary.

I do not flake. I have not not mailed a swap ever and don't plan on changing that. If you do not receive a swap from me, please message me and I will rectify the situation.

If I'm late on a swap, which occasionally happens, I will message you to let you know, and I will make it worth your wait with extra goodies. ;)

I added this section because I've been having issues with my local post office and a couple of my packages have ended up lost and/or back on my door step. I'm not sure why this has been happening lately, but I didn't want anyone to think I'm a bad swapper! :)
