My name is Ana. I live in a small town, Temple, Texas (about an hour north of Austin). I'm a big grammar nerd, and I'm a quality assurance specialist in digital marketing.
I was born in Chicago but have spent most of my life now in central Texas.
I used to only swap ATCs on Swap-bot, but I've gotten more and more into other paper crafts and letters/writing swaps. I'm all for living simply these, so I am trying to get more into swapping supplies I already own (i.e., stationery, craft supplies) so as not to purchase more while having duplicates of certain items.
I studied abroad in Spain for a semester and love all things Spanish. While I was there I explored Paris, Florence, and Rome. I've only traveled solo to Toronto, Canada, and loved every minute of it. It was an accomplishment for me and liberating. I've gone to Peru, climbed Huayna Picchu, and explored Machu Picchu and the Amazon. We'll see what's in store next.
I love art history. Edgar Degas and Jesus Helguera (Mexican calendar artist) are my favorites. I can appreciate modern artists, too (i.e., Banksy).
Vintage patterns really catch my eye. Vibrant colors are great! Romantic and rustic styles are fantastic, too. Favorite color: royal blue
I was a vegetarian for about 11 years, switched to pescatarian in 2018, and gravitated toward (lazy) keto.
Music I love: Mostly female singers (i.e. Missy Elliott, Lady Gaga, Sia, Adele, Kate Nash, Cat Power, Jaymay, Regina Spektor, Etta James, Lilly Allen, Estelle, Billie Holiday, Madeleine Peyroux, Lauryn Hill, Melody Gardot, etc). Juanes, Los Secretos, Pink Martini, Reverend Horton Heat, The Stray Cats...
Authors: Lauren Groff, Roxane Gay, David Sedaris, Chuck Palahniuk, Augusten Burroughs, Pablo Neruda, Natalia Sylvester, Lindy West, John Boyne, Samantha Irby, Junot Diaz, Wally Lamb, Jami Attenberg, Rainbow Powell, Mindy Kaling, Jenny Lawson, Maria Semple, Laurie Notario, Hubert Selby Jr.
Foreign flicks, especially British, French, and Spanish films. I love Tarantino's work. I heart Almodovar as well. I don't like typical, predictable plots.
What We Do in the Shadows, Ramy, Better Things, Shrill, Pen15, Bob's Burgers, Atlanta, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Good Grief, Kevin Can F Himself, Schitt's Creek, Yellowstone, Killing Eve, Los Espookys, Rap Sh!t, Sort Of, The Sex Lives of College Girls, Somebody Somewhere, The Righteous Gemstones
Junk journals, painting with acrylics, collages. I like other paper crafts, too.
Teacher stickers, travel postcards (except vintage), random notepad pages, branded stickers or stationery, cut-out scraps
