UPDATES

This is Cali, my new tabby kitty...or should I say, cat. She's 4 years old and official baby of the house.

My profile might be a bit long, but don't let it's size discourage you from sending anything that isn't listed; experiencing new things is the reason I joined Swapbot.

I live in Perú (South America), where you can find some of the best food in the world, some of the most colorful festivals, and some of the worst driving.

I'm a child at heart (even though I am 37); creative and easily distracted(which can be explained by my ADHD).

I am open to other religions and ways of thinking.; nonetheless, I don´t like to be forced into a belief system. I am addicted to baking anything from cakes, cookies, and anything new or foreign.

SWAP PLEDGE

• I will always rate a swap as soon as possible. If I feel you deserve a 1, I will mail you beforehand to talk things out.

• I send out swaps before or on the send date. If I am to be late for a swap, I'll PM you, promise!

• If you didn´t receive a package from me, please message me before rating me.

I have a tendency to read anything and everything; from cereal boxes to novels. I recently discovered the magic of kindle. I used to read paper, but I've happily made the jump to tech.

Favorite books Fantasy (Haruki Murakami, Terry Goodkind,George R. Martin, Neil Gaiman, etc.), fiction, comic books (Fantastic Four, , Superman, Flash.) and mangas (anything Hayao Miyazaki, Naruto).

I get lots of ideas from graphic design magazines, photos, nature magazines, papercrafting mags, and cooking magazines.

TV shows I watch Big Bang Theory,Grey's Anatomy,How I met Your Mother, Modern Family, MasterChef, The Haunting of..., MLP Friendship is Magic, Project Runway, Tattoo Masters, Vikings, Top Chef.

Movies Frozen, Lion King, Billy Eliot, How to Train your Dragon, Lilo and Stitch

Anime My favorites Naruto, Natsume Yujinchou, Ranma 1/2, Sailor Moon, , Deathnote, and a few others. P.S Hayao Miyazaki rules!

Anime Movies My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, Wolf Children,

I've always been into PAPER CRAFTS (origami,note cards, bookmarks, envelopes, mailart). I love making ATCs.

I'm starting a scrapbook for my pet cat and wow, there are so many techniques to learn!

Craft materials I'll always need:

• Papers with gold/silver details, textured papers, patterned,rice patter, origami. Any and all paper is welcome.
• Pens: sakura gel, metallic, pens/markers for dark surfaces.
• Stickers For scrapbooking and cheap ones to decorate my packages.
• Stamps/Stamped images Kawaii, birds, animals, vintage, nature..anything except childish/kids stamps really.
• Other: Felt, Empty Altoid tins,Rub-Ons, markers for scrapbooking.

IF IT LOOKS GOOD, EAT IT!
