About Me

CANADA POST IS ON STRIKE Anyone waiting on a swap or waiting on a rating, I'm so sorry!

I am a 40 year old woman living in Victoria BC. I came out to this coast to pursue a Masters in Geography (which I did complete!), and ended up teaching preschool. I realized my passion in life was connecting kids with the outdoors, and I worked for six years as one of the teachers for our entirely-outdoor preschool, run at a local lake. As such, I love the outdoors and all that goes with it.

I have two kids, who are now aged 4.5 and 2.5 years. The older one (Nolan) loves cars, trucks, diggers, firetrucks (and forest fires in particular) and most especially, trains. The younger one (Aspen) loves horses and dancing and music.They both love stickers!

Favourite animals

  • Sea creatures - jellyfish, sea turtles, octopus and seastars (and really, all other sea creatures, too!)
  • Whales - especially killer whales
  • Owls or bird silhouettes or members of the jay family, esp. vintage birds
  • Foxes & squirrels

My ultimate favourite themes can be summed up as:

  • Ocean-related
  • Woodsy

Themes that I enjoy

  • Animals, arrows, autumn, acorns, anchors, ant eaters, avocado
  • Butterflies in flight, birds in flight, biodiversity, bananas
  • Cats, coins, city skylines, conservation biology, carnations, cabooses, caterpillars, canoes, chocolate
  • "Did you know" facts, dinosaurs, dragonflies, doors/doorways
  • Earth-themed things (Earth-day, earth-friendly, images of the Earth), eagles
  • Forests, feather themes, forest critters, fall, ferns
  • Glittery things, globes
  • Hedgehogs, hammerheads
  • Insects, icicles, islands
  • Jellyfish, jellybeans, jigsaw puzzle themed items
  • Kites, kawaii cats and kawaii food with faces
  • Llamas, leaf-themes
  • Mountains, maps
  • Night-time scenes
  • Ocean-related anything! Olympic Games
  • Panda bears, peacocks/peacock feathers, porcupines
  • Quail, quotes!
  • Random facts and trivia, rabbits, raccoons, raspberries
  • Sailboats, snow, snowflakes, stars, silhouettes of birds (and other things), snapdragons
  • Tall trees, turtles
  • Unicorns, underwater
  • Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games, vines
  • Woodsy themes, winter, water, words - especially "wonder", "explore", "home", "journey", "experience", "joy", "curiosity", "adventure(r)", "find"
  • Xylem, xerophytes
  • Yoga
  • Zig-zags, zoology, zephyr (the wind)

Notes for swaps

  • Note for sticker swaps (I LOVE stickers):

I love stickers with positive/inspirational or adventure quotes or sayings on them, animal stickers or nature themes (or any of the themes listed above!!), and stickers or sticker tags & labels with places to write things directly on them. I also like alphabet stickers in full sheets. I use regular stickers as well as 3D, dimensional or puffy stickers, chipboard stickers, epoxy stickers.

(That said, I am not picky and I will appreciate and love whatever you send! I just like including lots of options for you because I think it makes it easier :D)

Wishlist

Tea!! I love collecting teas from all over because my partner loves to try them!

Felt animals and/or shapes to use on feltboards at preschool

Anything related to the Olympic Games!! (especially lapel pins!)

I am always looking for bird die-cuts!

Fun shaped sticky notes (esp. animal shapes or woodsy themed)

Pokemon cards

Old transit/public transportation tokens/transfers/tickets

Hot chocolate!

Notebooks, and guided journals, or guided journal prompts. I just love paper. Maybe too much!

We all LOVE the US America the Beautiful series of quarters depicting National Parks, and we also love the State Quarters series, if you have US quarters to spare ;)

My son absolutely loves Thomas the Tank Engine, and anything related to Thomas is highly appreciated around here.

Previous years' goals

UPDATE!!! On December 26th 2019, I collected coins from Brazil and Israel and the Cook Islands to surpass my 2019 goal and reach coins from 77 countries!! Thanks, all :) ***

GREAT job fitting my likes and tastes (the cute letter sets and that sea animals card set, omg). I wish you all the best and hope we get to swap again in the future.

Ooh, I'm SO GLAD it's arrived. I was so worried about strike/lockout on top of my dawdling. Totally true story, only slightly exaggerated in order to exercise my punctuation skills. Thanks for letting me know what you liked.
