Update June 2014 -- I am under a great deal of stress at the moment and struggling with increased executive dysfunction and depression, so I have cut down on the number of swaps I am doing to minimise the possibility of mistakes. Please let me know if I do mess up a swap, and I will do my best to correct it.
I'm 33 and live in England with my husband and two female cats. I grew up in the USA, but I am now a dual British/American citizen.

I love getting post and will appreciate anything you send, especially handmade items. I am very easy to please, but if you are in any doubt about what to send me, please do not be afraid to ask. :)
I really enjoy crafts of all kinds, but I'm not particularly good at them. I do, however, put a lot of time and effort into my swaps, so please don't mistake my less than perfect creations for a lack of care! :)
I always mark swaps as 'Sent' after I have dropped them off at the post office or in the post box, but it may take some time for international mail to be delivered, so please be patient. I send everything by air mail, but sometimes post seems to take a very long time to reach its destination! Please let me know if you do not receive a swap from me and I will gladly resend.
CATS! I love anything featuring cats, for cats, about cats... everything cat related! I would love any cat-themed art or crafts, articles about cats, pictures of cats, and to hear about other people's cats.
All other animals, especially penguins (I collect penguin items), lemurs, ravens, magpies, bunnies/rabbits, sloths, red pandas, octopi, spiders, axolotls, and donkeys. Anything animal-themed will make me happy.
Stuffed animals! I love amigurumi, handmade soft toys, little clip-on stuffed animals, big animals, etc.

Jewellery - I love any animal- or nature-themed jewellery.

A book you think I would like. Paperback books (read but in nice condition books are fine :) .) Please see my Goodreads for books I own or have read.
A DVD you think I would like. I love foreign films as long as they have an option for English subtitles!
Animal Crossing! If you have New Leaf and want to swap friend codes, please let me know. :)
I also have a massive wishlist on Pinterest at: http://www.pinterest.com/megansr23/wishlist/ if you are in a profile-based swap with me and need more ideas of the types of things I like (pretty much everything!).
Books are my favourite obsession next to cats. I love anything book-related, and I will read just about anything.

Historical sites
Any animals!
Fairy tales
Book-related postcards
Art
Anything weird
Handmade postcards
I prefer postcards to be sent naked (written and stamped) when possible, but blank ones or written ones in an envelope as extras in a swap are nice too.
I am vegetarian, so I don't eat sweets with gelatine or other animal products (milk, eggs, and honey are okay) in them. Otherwise, I will eat/drink just about anything and I love to try new foods and drinks.
I would also prefer not to receive anything made with fur, leather, bone, or feathers (unless they are clean found feathers/bone) if possible. However, I don't like things to go to waste, so repurposed/recycled things are fine as are items from thrift stores/charity shops.
My cats are NOT vegetarians, so any animal products intended for them are okay. :)
I don't like erotica, pinups,or anything sexual (artistic nudity, particularly in classical art, is okay).
Note: all of these are just personal preferences, so please do not be offended if I've listed something you like. It doesn't mean we can't be friends! :)

Hi, you mentioned loving animals in general and axolotls in particular so I was wondering if you'd be interested in joining my Scales 'n' Tails group?
Hey! Saw you are an Animal Crossing New Leaf player. So am I. :) Let me know if you are ever interested in trading or gaming together.
Hey! No worries at all, totally not a big deal! Thanks so much for the rating. Hope you had wonderful holidays. Happy New Year!!!
Hi Megan! I just wanted to check and make sure you got my email for the Cat Swap? I know sometimes stuff ends up in spam filters and whatnot... if it didn't get there, please let me know and I'll resend :) Hope you had a great holiday!! :)
Hello! I've been Browsing the LLL group forums and saw that you live in the same city as me! So I wanted to pop by your profile and say hello, and I hope all is well with you! Warm wishes, Emily
Hello from a fellow Aspie. ♥
We share the same birthday (different year).
Happy Swapping. ♥
Read - The Book of the lost things. I see on a other page you wanted a creepy book to lose some sleep over!
Oh, I SO understand it. I returned to work after I was abroad, had 4 days of holidays at home and working those 3 days felt like a whole month without a stop. Ha-ha!
Happy Easter!
Thankyou so much for the tiny envelopes of joy you sent to me after my partner was suspended. They have been wonderful. I have opened a couple already and my daughter was thrilled to get to open one too. We are really enjoying them and a great start to the day. Many thanks for this PixieWillow
