i'm 28, living in boston, ma with my husband, our dog peanut and our cat zoe. i'm brand spanking new to swap-bot, having just stumbled upon the site in my search for a way to exchange collage materials and paper ephemera. i keep visual journals and have become quite the paper pack rat in my quest for the perfect page!

i'd rather receive random photos and bits of interesting paper than candy or toys, though a little bit of that stuff is fun, too. :) check out my journal set on flickr - http://www.flickr.com/photos/aimeeweakley/sets/72157603581401854/ - to get a feel for the kinds of things i like to use in my art! :)

i love old photos, interesting bits of paper i can use in collage, vintage magazine & book pages, typography, polaroids, patio gardening, vegan cooking, vintage linens, stickers, frogs, owls, other people's drawings, anything handmade, postcards... the list goes on and on.
