Please make sure my last name (not my username) is clear on the envelope above my address.
I’m an living in Berlin, Germany and I'm in my mid-40s. I read a lot, mainly fiction but also some informative books on a wide range of themes. With books, I like to have one German book and one English book on the go. I like cutting pictures out of magazines and sticking them in books to make new journaling pages. I used to enjoy playing bingo with my late grandmother, I have a nostalgia for it now, but nowhere seems to host it. I love flowers, household plants and learning about their benefits. I am learning about what plants can do, if I had my time again I'd study natropathy. One day I will have my very own garden and I'm looking forward to that day :) I enjoy traveling and look forward to exploring Europe more. I am quite happy with my own company and never seem to run out of things to do.
I am not religious, but I do not mind if you are.
I love cat related things - especially black cats. I also love robins, starlings and small blackbirds. Ferns, pheasants, flowers, trees, nature, dried/pressed flowers. I'm always pleased to receive memo papers, stickers (adult), alphabet, puffy stickers, notecards, stationery papers, washi tapes, unused postcards that are not of a city. Virgo, carebears (80s style) and Moomins related things are welcome :)
I would love to receive anything with the common blackbird (not crows) and robins on it. Also anything with hares or bees.
Favourite Season: all - They all have their good points. Favourite Colours: all but particularly mauve, forest green, minty green, gold and silver
I'd love to get anything to do with swimming, especially pools from above or swimmers.
I'll try anything, I recently knit a top-down jumper and I also can knit socks - but colour-work socks usually end up too tight! I enjoy cooking and will often cook something new from a recipe book or online, but generally it should have a picture so I know what it should look like!
I love to sew clothes or little cases (easy projects). And doing Blackwork/ Cross-Stitch - happy to receive (colour) photocopies of patterns!
I enjoy my junk journaling and making collages. I'd love to get letter stickers! But not number stickers.
Interesting magazine/newspaper cut outs, dicuts, things I can use in a junk journal. Anything cat related, carebears related, floral, nature, pretty.
The Planters film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfGvYLf99fg
Indie films! Suggest some from your country please! I generally will not watch Hollywood films, including Disney. I can no longer tolerate violence or sex-scenes. I do not see how it really enhances a film. Subtle and not in-your-face is always better. TruthStreamMedia on YouTube is always a favourite.
If the swap does not require extras, you do not have to send any! Otherwise, I am happy to receive any notecards, notepapers/memopapers, letter sets! I am quite open minded and am happy to read your happy moments as well as your not so happy.
I would not like to receive food items including teas. I prefer not to receive disney, hollywood, religious, manga, unicorn items. I am not particularly interested in blank country postcards as I don't know how to use cards from another city. I do love the "Greetings from" series though! And please NOTHING even slightly perfumed, as I get headaches from perfume.
Thank you! :)
This doesn't seem normal! I've never had this many rating delays. I hope it is just the slow Christmas/New Year post. Some of the later ones I only just sent out this week, but I thought I'd add them here anyway. I always send my swaps and I always rate. Please contact me before low rating!! Thank you!!
