I like to make lists (if you haven't noticed) so people can skim from one point to the next so they don't have to bother with the stuff they're not interested in or can't relate the swap to or whatever other reason, like it's boring. I hope you've found it helpful if you're stuck on what you should send or need ideas or something.

I am an intergalactic space traveller and artist. I travel in my humble starship Alexandria, exploring new worlds, seeking out new life, -- new civilisations, -- and boldly going where no one has gone before. (Wait, did I steal that from somewhere?)

I love learning and making things, so much of what I swap is made by me (most likely drawn/painted). Perhaps you may find your address has extra information or there is an extra stamp which is cancelled out, -- no worries. This is simply because I've sent it out through Intergalactic Mail (I work for them making stamps freelance, so it would be frowned upon if I used the local Solar System Space Services). They are very speedy and so it should not take too long to get to you, even if I sent your swap out from another planet or galaxy.

You may be wondering, 'If she is traversing space, how will my swap get to her?' Dear reader, do not worry! I have minions of little green men that will get it to me safe and sound. -- Just kidding. I will get it somehow, but that information is secret. (wink)
