I am a recent college graduate, living in the Washington, DC area and working for a Jewish non-profit organization. I love sending and receiving things through the mail, which is how I got involved with Swapbot. I'm excited to get started!

My major crafts are knitting and scrapbooking, although I love learning new things! I currently also enjoy card-making, baking, and container gardening.

Indigo Girls, Dar Williams, Girlyman, Joni Mitchell, Tracy Chapman, Sweet Honey in the Rock, The Nields, Jewish and Israeli Music, American Folk Revival (i.e. Pete Seeger; Peter, Paul and Mary)

I'm a big fan of Young Adult literature, particularly fantasy, adventure, and historical fiction. Some of my favorites are the Mysterious Benedict Society novels, "Framed" by Frank Cottrell Boyce, and Tamora Pierce's Enchanted Forest series. I also enjoy poetry and non-fiction books about religion.

I have a great white ink pad and can stamp white images on colored or black cardstock, if that's something of interest.
