My name is Kirsten Gail. I'm 21 years old, and will be a Senior in college. I'm a Dietetics major with a minor in Health and Wellness at SUNY Oneonta in upstate New York.

I adore altering/sewing clothes and making bags, making jewelry, ATC's, inchies, and all types of DIY. Especially anything that involves recycling. I've been creating things for as long as I can remember.

In my free time I like to work on my art journal or do any of my favorite crafts. Limette Jewelry (limettejewelry.com) is pretty much my job for the time being.

I also have an unhealthy obsession with necklaces and earrings, especially anything that is vintage or handmade....I also lovelovelove vintage brooches! I collect them =] All kinds. I'm also really obsessed with jewelry supplies....pendants and chains and beads, of all kinds. But you can never have too much!! :) I also loooooooove polaroids.

I'm extremely busy at school - besides having a major that is REALLYYY demanding, there's club activities, friends' band's shows to go to, working at the YMCA, the jewelry business, and everything in between. I spend long hours in the library so post it notes, notepads, and paper clips are sometimes my best friends. Even though I am a busy college student, I will always get my end of the swap out on time. I'm determined to make sure the swap runs smoothly! If anything, I will maintain good communication, regardless of the situation. Also, since I do tend to get quite stressed at school, I thank you ahead of time for the lovely packages I get from other swap-bot members. In the midst of the craziness of my life at school, they really brighten my day whenever I receive them. So thanks ahead of time =]

The Appleseed Cast, Christians and Lions, Every Time I Die, The Guggenheim Grotto, The Snake The Cross The Crown, Guns Up!, Black Flag, Art In Manila, Four Year Strong, Lykke Li, .....mainly indie, as well as hardcore/punk. I can be a bit eclectic sometimes. But I love going to all kinds of shows, especially to see my friends' bands.

art journaling and atc's! ... inchies, altered art, sewing, altering clothes, painting (acrylics, watercolors), drawing/sketching (oil pastels), jewelry making, recycling and repurposing.
