Hello Swap-Bot member!
Welcome to my profile, version 6.0. I am forever updating my profile, never satisfied, always wanting to describe the most recent version of myself. (The last version of my profile was written in Spring of 2021! So much time has passed!!)
I'm still a French Canadian woman in her thirties, though I am now approaching my forties. I'm still a full time teacher, but am now the mother of two school-aged kids (both girls!).
My main hobbies focus around reading and writing letters. I also like video games, listening to music, singing, and watching TV series.
I have been swapping for many years, mainly on Facebook, but also on Swap-Bot occasionally. I just love preparing something for someone I don't know and knowing it will brighten their day. Even if a swap is sender's choice, I often take a look at my partner's profile to make sure I don't send something they don't like. I can't always accommodate, but I try as much as possible.
I still take my swaps very seriously. I always send on time and I'll actually go out of my way to make sure that my swap is mailed by deadline. Should I have to be late (because it's happened a few times), I make sure that I send a message to my partner and to the host to inform them I sent a little late. For all these reasons, that's why I would prefer you contact me first and offer me a chance to resend my swap before rating me a 1.
For my likes and dislikes, see the sections below.
Happy swapping!
I love reading and participate in a lot of book log swaps on here. I don't have any real favorite genres. With time, I read anything that catches and hold my attention. I do tend to gravitate more towards non-fiction, chick lit, thrillers, and fantasy novels, however.
I read in both French and English.
I'm a Harry Potter fan! My house is Hufflepuff, but I sometimes get sorted in Ravenclaw.
Over the years, my tastes in TV shows have changed. I mainly re-watch shows now instead of watching new ones. Scrubs, The Big Bang Theory, Fuller House, The Good Place, and other French Canadian shows are my go-to.
Some other more recent shows I enjoy are Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, 911, and Love is Blind.
I also like watching home renovation shows.
I don't craft as much anymore, mainly due to limited free time. I'd rather do crafting projects with my girls than to craft for myself. When the mood strikes, I do enjoy diamond art.
In the past, though, I have enjoyed pocket letters and making ATCs. And I have dabbled in cross stitching, which I find very relaxing.
Looking for inspiration on what to send me? Here are things I would love to receive:
I'm usually not picky when it comes to swaps, but here are things I would prefer not to receive:

Profile Quote #12
“Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It's about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.” ― Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are

Laughing is one of the best exercises, it's like running inside your mind. You can do it almost anywhere and it's even better with a friend.
