I'm a Canadian ex-pat living in Sweden since 2002. I teach grade 2 at the local international school and I share my life with my lazy but adorable cat, Oskar.

I typically partake in swaps that involve fabric and sewing notions or scrapbooking and papercraft supplies but am game for others as they come.

I am happy to ship internationally. If you're shipping packages to me, I would greatly appreciate if you indicate 'gift' on the customs label so as to avoid unnecessary tariff charges.

I am very sensitive to tobaco smoke smells; it makes me ill, gives me headaches and I simply cannot tolerate it in my home or on products. Please ensure anything you send, especially fabric, is smoke-free.
