My name is Lia, I'm in my 40's, Canadian, married mom of 2 girls. I work full time, enjoy cats, nature and animals in general, books and related items, kawaii, arts & crafts. I like fitness and healthy living. I like cute and girly things, make-up and jewlery..but I am also a geek, gamer (FB, The Sims, 3DS) and fantasy nerd.

My daughters are 10 years apart. One is 25 and moved out. My youngest is 15.

I have 2 fur-children.

Minion, is my daughter's cat. He is a black and white tux cat. 2014

Moochie is our newest addition. He was a stray we adopted into our home. He is part bengal/tabby brown and black stripes. We are unsure of his age, but likely born in fall 2015.

Swap Business Please if for some reason you do not receive my swap, let me know. I can guarantee it will be caught up in the mail, not that I didn't send it. I will gladly resend. If there is ever a problem, or postage due, I will correct that also. I take all my swaps directly to the post office to weigh and measure for the correct postage. My post office is a rural one, I'd imagine the postmark will not match the day I took it there, but I send swaps way before the due date any way. Mail coming to me is a little slow, but I will rate as soon as I've opened it.

Rating I rate and give hearts based on the swap itself, not because of extras and I hope you would do me the same courtesy.

I wont do a Wall of Shame, but I have been non-rated 3 times and 1 flake, plus a couple barely passable packages. Kind of discouraging, so I am now more picky about swaps I join and tend to stick more to group swaps.
