hello! i am from/live in montreal. i currently have a house in one of the suburbs and i love it! i have a brown rabbit that i sometimes see hoping along my back yard. it's most likely a hare, not a rabbit, but same cuddly difference. i love snail mail and really think it's a dying art.

i LOVE spending time in the kitchen or my librairy/office/craft room. I have rails on the walls to put up the postcards or interesting art. and i have a ton of books in there too.

I really like going to the gym and doing yoga. in the summer and spring when we no longer have snow on the ground i enjoy doing distance biking. I'll bike to one of my sisters's places a few towns over and spend the day with them.

i have a blog that i try, and sometimes fail, to keep up to date with my kitchen and city adventures. I love taking pictures of my food, either ordered or homemade. and i love going to the farmers markets around town. the colours and all the produce is amazing to see.

i love painting my nails in really girly sparkles, just makes me happy. and walking around the city in summer. i have a lovely furry grey kitten named Hubble. he is cuddles heaven! my husband is in the army and is often away so the kitten keeps me company.

I'm hyper organized and usually have a to do list and many little goals that i like to cross off my note pad. i'm defenitely a list maker.

my favorite colours are deep reds and blues and greens, like really rich colours, jewel tones. I also really like a light sunshine buttery yellow as well. yellow makes me happy :)

so whats new with you?

i don't really have a preferred music per say. i listen to alot of cbc radio or 8tracks online. when i workout i listen to rap or hip hop. don't know why, just gets the juices going! at home i listen to classical sometimes (prompts alot of looks from my hubby) and other than that, what evers on the cbc (canadian brodcast channel)

oooooo! i like making cards, and sewing, and knitting (although i'm still at scarf level!), and anything at all with sparkles! i like making useful things, like candles or home spa things too. and i really like making candy and chocolates for presents :)

I like to follow the eat local and clean eating movements so i try to eat as little preservatives as possible. i don't usually drink caffeine, i indulge in a cup of coffee on saturday morning when i fold the laundry. I love tea! i'm a huge fan of green tea and not so much the fruity stuff. I'm much more of a salty girl than sweet but i love dark chocolate (milk chocolate is yucky!) and i love ginger in pretty much any form but pickled. toffee is also super yummy! and i love coconut too. i really don't eat much candy though so apart from toffee please don't send me any :) hmm, i might have a sweet tooth after all! lol

i really really love reading, like no joke! I like magazines, martha stewart and running world are my favorites). I like novels alot too. i just finished reading the Milleneum chronicles. (so good!) i really love reading all of Lawana Blackwell's christian fiction, i like lori wick as well. Christian novels set in 1800's england are my favorite. I like reading pretty much anything. i don't like the whole harlequin romance type though. I don't really like books that have alot of sexy stuff in them. (smut is a defenite nono)

just a little list of what i would like to receive. - anything sparkly! - i would love to get recipes that are native to your area. authentic dishes are always great! :) -cool key chains -anything, and i mean anything, harry potter themed -any kind of craft odds and ends -any kind of cooking or baking item (spices, recipes,utensils...) -books,note cards,journals -i love anything monogrammed -i love small things like little houses you put in a terrariums. -pretty much anything british or european

things i might not like so much -anything crass, kinda like family guy humour -anything licorice! (yuck) - i don't like kawaii things, sorry :P -anything childish, like cartoons -not really a fan of that fake cinnamon flavour lol

i'm really liking swap bot. out mail system here is notorious for striking and loosing packages. if for any reason you don't get your package/letter from me please let me know and i will send another asap. thanks!
