In May 2017, I graduated with a BA in Visual Art from Boise State University. I now work at a local library - I love my job!
I live in a suburb of Boise, ID - we've been here for close to twenty years.
I will always send, so if you don't receive your swap, please send me a message or email and I'll get a replacement to you ASAP. Also, I have been known to forget to hit the save button when leaving a rating, so if you don't get a rating within a reasonable period of time, please don't hesitate to shoot me a note!

ATCs -- mainly collage/mixed-media, pen-and-ink, watercolor, or colored pencil (often made with the turpenoid technique.) I collect them. I also love handmade bookmarks.
I dabble in a variety of other arts and crafts as well, from paper piecing to crochet to fused glass to repurposed books.
My favorite hobby is photography.
'Kountry Klutter' type crafts (cutesy things in pastel shades.) Anything above a PG 13 rating (please keep language and graphic/visual elements on anything you are sending me at or below that level.) Fabric yoyos. Bracelets and rings (can't wear them).
And I really don't need any more paper - so please don't add bits of paper as extras.
Jewel tones, miniature turtles of whatever material (I collect those in a shadow box,) Christmas, vintage bits and pieces, the ocean, pewter, jelly fish, octopuses, owls, old book illustrations, lino cuts, all shades of green, Klimt, earrings, Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, board games, really loud live music, glass, ATCs, nature photography, insects, the color orange, tatting shuttles. I love nativity scenes for Christmas (I collect those.) My favorite ATCs are hand drawn /hand painted (any medium.) I also love artist pens, alcohol inks, small fun rubber stamps that are appropriate for children (I use those at the library), corner or paper punches, anything Severus Snape or Alan Rickman, Nikon accessories or lenses (one can dream, right?), vegetable seeds, pendants or necklaces that have a modern, clean look.
I will usually rate the day I receive the package. I don't rate for extras -- don't feel you need to stuff an envelope to get a good rating. A heart is for whenI can tell care, effort, and creativity went into making the item, and looking at my likes and dislikes is definitely a plus.
Really, anything that makes me smile!
Please let me know if I haven't rated you! I try to rate the day the package is received, but sometimes I have forgotten to hit save on the review, or just plain forgot, so please shoot me a message!

I was trying to leave you a cute message via a photo, but I can't figure out how to get a picture on here. Cheers!
Your ATCs look really cool! I love the stable fly and the bugs ones.
Since you're into more unusual animals, I wonder if you'd be interested in joining Scales 'n' Tails? It's for all reptile and amphibian themed swaps. We currently have a dragon postcard (handmade welcome) and turtle ATC but I'm thinking of adding some more unusual reptile/amphibian ATCs later in the summer (red salamander, purple frog (google it, it looks so odd!!!), and others). With your art skills you would be so welcome 💖
