What do you love most about the card swap?

Connecting with others who can better understand this weird and lonely world that is chronic illness, and hearing about what they do to find joy, and hopefully brightening someone else's day with the cards I send.

Fun facts about you

I love all things crafty! And love to hear what things people like to create. I'm mainly a knitter but enjoy cross stitch and embroidery as well.

Before becoming ill, I studied archaeology at university with the aim of studying and preserving artefacts, especially those related to crafts and everyday life.

I get a lot of joy from cute things! I particularly love Toothless, Moomins, red pandas, capybaras, dogs and cats.

I love reading (mainly fantasy and romance but open to most genres!), gaming (I love RPGs like Guild Wars 2, World of Warcraft, The Witcher, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts and Hollow Knight), Ghibli, and Lord of the Rings.

Autumn and Winter are my favourite times of the year; mainly because I love to be cosy, but also I love the foods, scents and colours that are associated with them.
