2024:

Happy Holidays!

I have completed all my swaps for 2024. I'll be spending time with family and friends over the next few weeks. See you in 2025.

FUTURE UPDATES

I am moving within the next 6 months. I will be spending a lot of time packing and getting ready. This means that I won't be available for as many swaps. I will be working on a few as my craft supplies will be the last thing I pack, but not as many as I wanted. Once moved and settled, I'll be more open to swaps.

I live and breathe creativity. Imagination fills me with wonder, and I channel this into my art, writing, and crafting.

I have a passion for building fantastical worlds, exploring supernatural themes, and celebrating diversity and inclusivity. I am currently working on a novel called Frostfall (working title). It's in the world building and plotting stage.

I also love to learn new skills—Skillshare and YouTube are my go-to places for tutorials. If I'm watching something, it's probably a tutorial.

When I'm not immersed in my creative projects, I'm likely planning my next big adventure or crafting unique gifts for friends and family.

My goal is to one day make a living from my art and stories, allowing me to travel the world and gather inspiration from every corner.

Things I Dislike

There aren't a lot of things that I don't like, but I do have a few things you'll need to know for swaps:

Candy: I'm diabetic. Even though I love sweets, I'm not allowed to eat them unless they are keto or sugar free. Pink: I have a life time hate on for the color Pink. Horror Movies: I don't watch horror movies as I find them either stupid or scary. I don't like be scared and why should I watch stupidity. Horror and Halloween Themes: I like cute Halloween, not scary (see above). Politics and Religion: Not going into this one. I don't want anything with these two themes.

I'll add more to this list as I think of them.
