⋆ I am a responsible swapper; I rate and send promptly. Please message me if there are any problems (postage due, damaged mail, possibly lost mail, etc.).

Moving to Australia and will be back in March 2021. Will be inactive until then.

A little about me:
I love cats, food, and traveling. I currently work at a Halloween costume/lingerie and hosiery company. I like learning about other cultures and regions so if you don't know what to write in a swap, tell me something about your local area! It'll probably be added to my long-list of things to do when traveling. :)

I'm trying to get back into traditional art, especially watercolor. You can see some of my old ATCs and other art here. Normally I do digital art.
