hi! i'm 25 year old crafter living in boston :) i was born and raised in the chicago suburbs and i miss it very much. chicago will always be my home! but for now boston is okay too :) i'm currently doing a year of service as an americorps VISTA fighting poverty! but that also means that i will be living in poverty for a year too! i'm looking forward to the challenge of crafting/swapping on a strict budget and with very little time... it'll force me to be more creative! other than crafting, i love to read and spend time in bookstores, bake, cook, cuddle with my crabby bunny, take long walks, and travel.

please rate me once you've received your package! i worry endlessly about lost mail :( and if you haven't received your swap within a reasonable amount of time... EEK! let me know as soon as possible and we'll figure it out! i promise to always send out my swaps... i'm horrified by the idea of flakers and i don't take on a swap that i don't have time for. i look forward to swapping with you!!! and if you're interested in a private swap, message me!

scrapbooking, crocheting, amigurumi, nuigurumi, whatever random project that pops into my mind :) i love pretty much any paper craft! and i'm starting to get into atc's and inchies... the idea of not having to worry about acid/lignin free materials is so liberating! i also want to be a better knitter (i'm a terrible knitter...) and learn to make my own jewelry. so many crafts so little time...
