Hello All, I hope all are well and have a happy 2016. I had my weight loss surgery in October 2015 and have lost around 200lbs and am doing great. :)

ALSO, if I've hosted a swap at any point on Swap-Bot and you'd like to host it again, please feel free. No need to ask and you are more than welcome as I don't mind at all :)

My name is Melissa, I'm married and live just in a "small" town called Brantford in Ontario Canada. I love to read, write, pen pal, music, movies, online games, facebook, learning, swapping, postcards, crafts, the outdoors, swimming, bowling, photography, pinterest and much more. I have three cats. I am originally from Pennsylvania but moved to Canada when I married my husband. I've lived here for about 5 years now. All my family is in the US still. :)

I'm very varied with my music but it's mostly hard rock.
