Hello! I’m Laura and I live in Edmonton, Alberta. There are so many creative mailers out there, and I can't wait to meet you all piece of mail by piece of mail!

I'm not a flake, so please contact me first if you haven't recieved something and I'll resend. Mail is so fantastic to recieve, but mistakes happen with delivery and it's easy enough to fix with some patience and communication.

Hurts, White Lies, Strung Out, Rise Against, Kaiser Chiefs, Pigeon Detectives, Alexisonfire, City and Colour, Justice, Royal Wood, Take That, La Roux, Strike Anywhere, Bad Religion, HIM, Killswitch Engage, Editors, and much more

The Book Thief (my all time favourite book), On the Jellicoe Road, A Monster Calls - Patrick Ness, The Hunger Games trilogy, The Jackson Brodie books by Kate Atkinson, any book by Charlie Huston, any book by Dennis Lehane, The Jessica Darling series by Megan McCafferty

Battlestar Galactica, Veronica Mars, Fringe, My So Called Life, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Pushing Daisies, Friday Night Lights, Rome, The IT Crowd, Wonderfalls, Flight of the Conchords, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, 8 out of 10 cats, Miranda, This is England, Luther, Justified, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Downton Abbey

Some other things I love include: antique and retro images (I especially love anything from the 1940's-1960's), art (Frida Kahlo, any impressionist or post impressionist painter), anything to do with books (libraries, covers, illustrations), scenic images (cityscapes, bodies of water), atlas/map images, comic books (especially marvel comics) or anything to do with superheroes, 1950's pin-up women, tattoos, space and astronomy, anything to do with sci-fi and fantasy (especially dragons, time travel, and robots), and argyle, stripe, and plaid prints.

I also have a huge weakness for cartoon monkeys, robots, penquins, and bears. Oh, and sea otters.

I'm not much of a flowery, garden person so I don't like things that are really flowery and decorative. Same goes for anything that is super duper pink and girly so no images of shoes or purses please. I'm also afraid of animals (I know it's strange) so I don't care much for cat or dog images. I also have a deep, irrational fear of dolls and clowns (damn you Stephen King!).
