About Me

Currently living with three cats, a dog, a bird and my two kids and husband. My eldest child has flown the nest and now lives on his own with his partner. I'm not looking forward to the next one growing his wings and flying off.

I live in the Great White North (aka Canada), though I hate the winters up here. Really love spring and fall the best when it comes to seasons.

Favorite Television

Don't watch much television but when I do I usually dedicate it to things like Supernatural, The Handmaid's Tale, The Walking Dead, Westworld and things of that nature (supernatural, suspense type shows).

I'm always behind on episodes and even full seasons, but I still enjoy watching and trying new shows but I can not get into the medical dramas like Greys Anatomy etc.

Favorite Music

Being a child of the 80's, I tend to gravitate towards music from that particular era. My favorite radio station plays a nice mix of 70s/80s/90s.

I have pretty ecclectic tastes in music... about the only thing I stay away from is ganster rap and death metal.

Favorite Books

Oooh this is such a hard catagory for me to fill out! Books. My addiction. I loooove new books. I can't go shopping without buying a new book. I have books here I've bought years ago that I still need to read.

I enjoy fantasy, sci-fi, paranormal, horror (or any mix of these). I've been reading a lot of general fiction lately and have even manged a few non-fiction books on occasion.

Favorite Crafts

I crochet, am just learning to knit, trying to teach myself to doodle. I'd love to get into mail art and the like (just made my first handmade envelopes today!).

I've started junk journaling / art journaling so anything I can glue into a journal would be awsome.

Likes/Dislikes

(I'm sure this section will change/grow as time goes on, but for now...)

I prefer not to receive anything religious, please and thanks.

I really dislike spiders (except the funny cartoon type)

Not a fan of pink, coffee, dark chocolate, alcohol filled candies/chocolates

Favorite color of all time is green (pretty much any shade)

Love, love, love milk chocolate!!!

I'm a tea drinker but I can not stand green tea in any form. Much prefer red/white/blacks and I don't mind herbals at all (unless they're green LOL)

Postcards: absolutely not picky at all when it comes to these, though I would like some plain/unwritten on ones sent in envelopes that I could use to send to other people since it is insanely hard to find postcards here in Canada that aren't touristy. Would love some vintage/non tourist location type cards/general/everyday sort of things.

Food: dislike spicy things. Don't like anything coffee flavoured. I am not allergic to anything in the food department though I really, really, really hate mushrooms.

Crafts: Scrapbook paper (12 x 12), ephemera of any type, stencils, etc. I do have a smashbook, but I haven't done much with it yet. I crochet and I'm a yarn junkie.

I have a blank book addiction as well... pretty books with blank pages to write on just seem to follow me home where they sit around looking nice but never get written in.

Like dragons, fairys, dragonflies, hummingbirds, horses/unicorns, aliens, vampires, zombies, dolphins, clowns, puppies, kittens -- pretty much any baby animal they're all cute!, chameleons, parrots...

-- more to be added/clarified later as I get used to the site --

Comment: Hi Shelly, first of all I really apologize because i almost forgot to rate you. Really2 sorry. I received your parcel on 30th of September. It takes almost 3 months to arrived... but, WOW!!! I got your fantastic package and it totally made my day! What an awesome package! Thank you! รขโ„ขยฅ The magnets, the keychain & mug are beautiful as is the post card! A lovely cute mini bear <3 & all other stuff... Then, what's more important, I loved everything inside... one more thing, the parcel looks cool outside with so many wonderful stamps from Canada especially the pair of Titanic Stamp's. It's not enough to give you 1 heart, I would give you numerous hearts if I could! Thanks so much! You are great swap partner.... Have a great day...
Response: I'm so glad you loved the package. My mom helped me put it together and we had so much fun. Was a great swap and so happy to hear that it made your day even though it took a loooong time to arrive.

Comment: Hi! Wonderful reading log, you got to read so many books this quarter that is great! I actually saw quite a few that I'm going to check and see if my library has. Beauty Queens, The Geeks Shall Inheirit the Earth, Pure all sound like good reads. I'd say the Song of Ice and Fire books too, but I'm currently reading A Feast for Crows myself. = ) I also really liked the little card with your swap-bot info on it, cute.

Comment: Hi Shelly, received your list. Can you believe I've only read 7 of them? I don't read much sci-fi or fantasy, though I do enjoy them. So you need to recommend one of the titles for me...which one would you have me START with? I've read The Handmaid's Tale, Little Brother, The Outsiders, Life of Pi (this one I hated), Gone With the Wind, Anne of Green Gables, and Darkly Dreaming Dexter (murder mystery - my favorite genre). I also love the VanGogh stamp you used! Thanks for all the effort you put into this!
Response: The Hobbit - it'll be released in theaters this December, so I'd recommend you start with that before all the trailers etc get plastered all over. Otherwise I recommend the classics, 1984, Brave New World or The Chrysalids. I still re-read them once a year. If that doesn't do it for you then have a bit of a chuckle with either Lamb or Magic Kingdom For Sale/Sold.
