Jan 4, 2025 - Regular mail has resumed arriving at my place and appears back to normal from where I am. I've made so many flipbooks and folios in my swap-bot absense, so I will probably host a couple regional swaps to move these creations. I can't wait to get back to regular International swaps beyond the US, but this will have to wait until swaps from Canada start arriving internationally.

dec 2024 : Canada Post stated they will be back to work on December 17, 2024. It's going to take at least the week to get things back and running, but hopefully all packages that got stuck in Canada when the strike started will be on their way again! Please keep this in mind if as you might be missing a swap or a rating from me until the new year!

Nov 15, 2024 : Canada Post is on strike as of the morning of Friday November 15, 2024.** I have 9 swaps on my dashboard that will likely be affected, and I have dropped from any swap for which partners were not assigned yesterday just in case. I should have dropped one more the day before, but I worked a 16 hour shift and wasn't thinking about anything but work and sleep. If you didn't get an email, this might be why your package hasn't arrived or why you have not received a rating from me. I hope you can be patient!

                      💌 Thank you 💌

I am nemophilist living on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada.

I am keen to swap handmade postcards, artist trading cards, artist trading coins, 3x3s, inchies, twinchies, flipbooks, folders, pockets and other themed paper crafts and collages."

I love rich, opulent colours and metallics. I use a lot of gelli printing in crafts and I love making layered mixed media projects of all kinds, but particularly if there is an added theme or creative challenge.

Important to me

I am an ally of the environment, equality and equity, and anyone who identifies as one from the LGBTQ2+ community - trans rights are human rights. I am VERY passionate about the right to women's reproductive health and the right to reproductive choice, and I am an ally of all First Nation communities whose land I am grateful to live, work, play, and craft on.

I would very much prefer to receive a partially destroyed or water damaged package than an envelope completely covered in packing tape. I can reuse the paper easier without the tape too. Thank you!
