♥ I ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS SEND AND RATE MY SWAPS!

♥ I am a 20 year old gal from Australia, currently studying psychology. I am also a photographer/visual artist. I love both the art and the science worlds. I have always been creative, ever since I was little. I always need to be doing something with my hands/brain!

♥ My fave things to swap are: • postcards • papercrafts • cards • ACEOs and ATCs • packages full of profile-based goodies!

♥ I LOVE receiving mail from all over the world!

♥ LOVE one-on-one/private swaps...feel free to always message me! :)

♥ I am ALWAYS on the look-out for vintage and new Archie comics, particularly Betty & Veronica, as they can be hard to get a hold of (and are expensive) in Australia. I would also LOVE any PCs of Roswell, New Mexico! If you have any of these items in abundance or can help me add to my collection, please message me and we shall set up a private swap!

I view each swap as a gift exchange, so I am always grateful for everything I receive. I always view my partner's profile before sending swaps, particularly for stuff she doesn't like to receive. I would hope that my partners do the same for me!
