Hellooo! my name is Jessie, I am a 34 year old Canadian artist, crafter and lover of odd and quirky things. I have a bachelor of Fine Arts with specialization in watercolor painting, photography, printmedia and creative writing. I teach after school classes at the local elementary schools.

I love to travel! Sadly, I don't get as may opportunities as I'd like, but so far I've been to England, Japan and New York! :D

Other places I'd love to visit include New Zealand, Australia, Egypt and Iceland, Europe and other "old" places.

IMPORTANT SWAP INFO!

I always send out my swaps on time! If for some strange reason you do not receive yours from me, PLEASE contact me first before leaving a bad rating! I have no problem in re-sending if needed! And International shipping seems to have its hiccups all the time. Lolz.

I've been flaked on a total of 8 times thus far on Swap-bot. SAD. HOW COULD YOU?

I try my best to send a swap you will LOVE! I read profiles and try to send things you like according to your likes/wishes! I want my partners to be happy!

I always rate my swaps as soon as I get them and I give hearts to anyone I feel needs one.
