I'm a 20 year old art student studying to transfer to a private art school next year to major in Advertising & Graphic Design. I live with my roommate and my 10 month old cat, named Sinclaire. I also work at a Italian restaurant. I've always been into crafts, art, and penpals since I was a child. My favorite penpal growing up was my Grandmother (She still is at 70+ and strong!), she's the one that made me fall in love with snail mail. Oh, and my favorite dog is the pembroke welsh corgi, though I grew up with golden retrievers (also lovely dogs). :)

Tip to USA swappers - adding those last four digits on your zip code will speed up shipping! Cool, right? So, for example: My zip code is 91006. The full code is 91006-5513. :)

I love doing private swaps!

Bright, cheerful colors are my favorite!

I will complete every swap and rate every partner I receive something from. I will attempt to contact any partner that I have not received a swap from before I rate them a 3 or a 1.

If you are going to rate me a 3 or 1 PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST. I will respond within 24 hours, as I am always on the computer.

ATTN: PLEASE WRITE WHAT SWAP YOU ARE SENDING FOR AND YOUR NAME AND USER ID. I will NOT search through all my swaps to find who you are if you don't write down the swap and your name. That takes waaaay too much time, and I'm a very busy person. That is the only situation in which I will not rate my partner. I will keep all "unassigned" swaps in a box, and if you PM me asking why you haven't rated you, I'll check if you're in my box. Sorry, but I'm tired of searching through all my swaps to find people. It's rather annoying to be truthful...
