My name is Lindsay, I'm a 20 year old artsy fartsy type. I have always been interested in crafts and anything creative or art related! I live in Burlington ,Vermont located right on Lake Champlain in New England! I live with my boyfriend Daniel, and our roommate Carl. We have a beautiful cat named Daisy, a Turtle named Rexi and some cute little fish that seem to die more than live :(

I realize this is said often, but I really am dedicated to sending out my swaps. If you don't receive a swap from me please let me know so I can figure it out! I would hate for someone to think I flaked! I am more than willing to resend if items never reach their rightful homes. On a side note, I am willing to do private swaps with people who are interested. I'm always looking to meet new people!

I love all music a little bit of every genre. I don't usually adhere myself to one genre just to songs and artists that I enjoy.

Classical, punk rock, classic rock, techno, country, hip hop, indie, folk, bluegrass, metal. I like it all!

I love books about science, biology and genetics especially. I'm also very into reading about pretty much anything occult like, paranormal or all around strange.

I love books from the beat movement. Vonnegut, Keroauc, Plath, Burroughs, Thompson.

I am down for most any good read.

I'm collecting all sorts of different items from other states and countries. I'll happily accept a little memento from your area, whether it be a postcard or keychain or mix cd or what have you. I'm especially interested in collecting rosaries/prayer beads/chaplets/religious art from anyone anywhere

I'm also interested in collecting handmade (especially hand drawn) bookmarks, postcards and atc's

I'm ALSO collecting bits of advice/life lessons/inspirational words of wisdom from as many people as I can to create a sort of positive thinking journal for myself so I would absolutely love to hear anything similar to the above from you if you'd be willing to share

I was hoping I wouldn't have to do this but it was bound to happen eventually. These are swaps I've been flaked/haven't received or heard back from. If anyone wants to angel that'd be cool. ALSO if anybody needs an angel and you think I could do it ask me! I'm more than happy to!
