I'm 25 years old and I live just outside Toronto, Canada.

I have two boxers (Rosie and Sarge) and one cat (Harry). They are the loves of my life.

My favourite artist is Salvador Dali. I love sureal art.

I guess you could say I'm a little obsessed with nail polish. I paint my nails a different colour just about every day. Right now I'm about halfway through my collection of over 300 but it keeps growing. I just can't pass on a colour if it seems interesting or unique.

That seems to be a trend with me--whether it's scrapbook paper, beads, fabric, etc, I tend to buy too much because I fall in love with so many colours/patterns.

I like scrapbooking and making cards. I just love all the gorgeous papers and embellishments and putting them together in fun ways.

I also make beaded jewelry. Mostly necklaces for now, but I want to try bracelets and clip-on earrings. (I don't wear pierced earrings.)

I've recently gotten interested in ATCs and inchies. The small size is both intimidating and challenging because it forces me to work on such a smaller scale but I love the results and love seeing other people's art work.

I want to learn to sew, particularly purses or totes. But for now, I just collect fabric I love and wish I could do something with it.

• Beads (any kind)
• Rubber stamps (especially words or letters)
• Buttons
• Any scrapbook embellishments or papers (especially brads, buttons, but really anything is great)
• Ribbon (I LOVE ribbon, maybe a little too much)
• Anything to do with boxers (the dogs, not the fighters :)
• Jewelry supplies (jump rings, clasps, head or eye pins) Silver, gold, copper, brass, any are great.
• Steampunk items (I really want to start incorporating this style into my jewelry. I love what I've seen from other people.)
• Small pieces of chain. (I use just a few inches in a lot of my necklaces and would love some variety.)

Other than that, I'm open to anything crafty. I'm always looking to try new things.

I'm not too crazy about yellow, orange, or most shades of green.

I'd prefer not to receive any type of food in swaps. I follow a 100% vegan diet and I don't want to waste anything if someone sends something that isn't vegan.

I don't want tea or any other drinks.

Any black or yellow Labrador retriever embellishments, die-cuts, stickers, etc I want to make an album of my two late dogs so anything black or yellow lab would be great.
