Hi there,

My name is Andreanne and I'm a 30-something new mom. I live in the beautiful city of Quebec with my handsome boyfriend and our little baby boy. We have to share the couch with two cuddly cats, Looping and La Chouette and a funny dog, Gus.

I used to be involved in the "swap world" many years ago and I kind of miss it very much. Now I am on maternity leave and the timing is perfect to reconnect with this hobby.

A few of my interests in life are : books, tea and coffee, training, hiking, camping, making zines, cooking, gardening, the Hercule Poirot serie, astronomy, music, raw crystals and rocks, plants, postage stamps and photography.

Basically I like to draw childish stuff, mostly cats. I'm just fond of my cats and dog as well as animals in general - especially rescues because all my pets are and I think it's wonderful to give a second chance.

My favorites swaps are those involving paper crafts, such as zines, ATC's, inchies, artistamps, postcards, matchboxes, etc.

Feel free to contact me for a zine trade or something, as I'm an avid zine maker and collector :)

PS : I collect postage stamps and I'm kind of amazed when I receive real stamps on an envelop (so rare these days!)

.

I will always be happy to receive zines, used postage stamps, tea bags (see my preferences below), cute socks, art I can frame, fun magnets, dangle earrings.

Also, I am really interested in things I can use in my art, such as :

• vintage-looking paper die-cuts of animals, flowers, persons, etc.
• wrapping paper samples (size 4 x 4 inches or so)
• black and white die cuts
• pages of old books (text and illustrations)
• washi tape
• new envelops in any color

.

As for tea, I do prefer black or white tea. Earl grey is my favorite blend and I like to try variations. I also like mint tea but I'm not fond of green tea or fruity blends.

.

Please no store-bought postcards, religious items, bath or body products and scented things.

I am not really into glitter, dark or girly things. I do like black and white, pastels and neutral colors.

I strongly prefer no extras and a great swap than random stuff just to add something - stuff that I won't have any use of :)

Thank you!
