gavy

My name is Gavin and I'm 28 years old. I have one cat, one husband and no kids. I enjoy a wide variety of artsy and crafty things, so swap-bot seems like a good place to encourage my creativity! I also love reading AND writing and often don't get enough sleep due to doing either one of them to the wee hours of the morning. Some of my other hobbies include making bento boxes, hiking, video games, eating, thrift shopping, racquetball, swimming and starting new hobbies.
