Important note: I will be away on vacation, and I'll be back on August 10th. I will be able to access SwapBot ocasionally, but wont be able to rate the swaps received while I'm away from home (do not worry, my swap partners, 'cause I'll have my parents checking my mail and keeping all my swap packages safe until I'm back). I'll miss Swap-bot and all of you my friends!

Wife ♡ Mother of one cute baby boy ♡ Daughter ♡ Sister ♡ Worker

Crafting ♡ Reading ♡ Seeing movies ♡ Walking, Tracking ♡ Photography ♡ Travelling

About my nickname: Miau is the portuguese word for meow. Although I am not a cat lover (actually I have a dog, a black labrador), I chose it because in my language
♥ M ♥ stands for handmade,
♥ I ♥ stands for ideas and inspirations
♥ A ♥ stands for crafts and
♥ U ♥ for unique and urban.
And I think a cat figure would make a cute logo for my handmade products :-)

My favourite swaps are:

♥ Tea / hot drink related
♥ Handmade
♥ Matchboxes

I love to give, and I always prepare a package that I would love to receive - with nice things and extras, related to the person's profile (I always read it and take notes).

I am a serious swapper! I always rate and I always send my packages! If you are my partner to receive and think the package is taking too long to get to you (meaning it got lost between countries) please let me know! Just PM or email me before rating. I'll send you another one if I have to.

Please note: I usually mark "Sent" when I have the package all ready to go, but it may take a few days until I actually manage to go to the PO. This helps me to get organized with my swaps.
