Hello - Bonjour - Hola!!

The nickname's Ella...

I'm 32 years old and currently working as a an elementary school teacher (5th grade). I truly enjoy teaching, especially when it allows me to exert my creative energy, but sometimes the politics involved are a little much.

I love EVERYTHING crafty. I love sketching, drawing, and painting.

My favourite swaps are ATC swaps! I LOVE hand drawn/painted/coloured ATCs and often host swaps accordingly.

I also love photography, DIY projects and anything that allows me to express my creativity.

I'm a cat lover, and a Samoyed dog obsessive. I also absolutely adore elephants, I find them just precious. I had 2 adorable cats of my own, but they sadly both passed away within the last year and a half of cancers. Both were 15 years young.

Since everybody seems to have an extensive list of favourites on their profiles, I thought I should do the same:

Favourite colours:

-Most light to medium shades of blue/mint/turquoise. -Light pink and muted pinks, sometimes with a hint of peachyness.

Favourite Animals:

• Elephants
• Cats
• Samoyed dogs/puppies

Favourite current author(s):

• Gillian Flynn
• Camilla Lackberg

• Melinda Lo

• (I used to LOVE John Saul and had almost all his books, but it's been quite a few years since I last read anything from him).

Favourite TV Shows (past and present):

• F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
• The X Files
• Once Upon a Time
• Young and the Restless
• Smallville
• Days of Our Lives

Video Games: -POKEMON!!! Love the games! - The Sims (2, 4, 1 & 3) - Anything SUPER MARIO

Randoms: - love old/ vintage themed things, old photos, news articles etc. - anything bright, colourful and girly.
- I know most people don't like reward stickers here... so if you have any that you need to dump on someone else, HEY, I'll take 'em!

In case I ever do a food swap:

• I love chocolates and sweets.
• I like teas, especially fruity ones.
• vegetarian, so I don't do anything meaty or meat flavoured

Anyhow, I look forward to swapping meeting, trading and sharing with new people from around the world. Hope to make a new friend.

A bientot! Happy Swapping
