Sept. 23 : Strike again today... and oct. 06&07 ! Another ones are announced for the oct. 16th, 19th and 23th :-(

Update oct. 13th : I haven't receive any mail for one week. So saaaad ! :-(

Strikes the 5th & 6th of november. Nov. 8th : I've had a ton of mail today ! :-)

Nov. 23th : Pfffffff ...another one today ...

If you have some questions about the situation in France, you can ask me privately, I'm always interested in talking about political things, particularly with foreigner people. :-)

If you haven't received your swap, PLEASE message me before rating ! I swear I will resend !

I never give a bad rating before a message to the sender, please do the same !

Thank you very much !

Hi everybody !

Hum I hope my english is good enough to be understood !

I'm a 27 y.o. french woman, mom of a one year little boy ! ^^ I am a (unemployed) bookseller. So, you've guess : I love books ! During my pregnancy, I discover the joy of penpalling, share and swap things. And I love that ! :-)

I can speak french, english, spanish and read italian.

I will think each day about things to add to my profile so I'll update it often...

I love collecting free/ad bookmarks, and I'm crazy with used postage stamps from entire world ! (hey europeans, I wish to have all "Europa" stamps !!!).

I just started to swap FB (nice & neat only please, and I prefer not receive gameFB) and decos. Thanks to swap-bot I have discover how it is great to make ATC and handmade cards. I'd like to know what is a zine ? Perhaps one day I'll try matchbox... sounds fun ^^ I like use pretty papers, buttons in my crafts, and I will start to use ribbons.

And I like send postcards ! :-) I just discovered mapcards and I love that (vintage or road map are the best) and I collect written & stamped ad cards.

I prefer ad cards written and stamped but except those, and if the swap doesn't specify, I prefer the cards unwritten in an enveloppe (mostly if you use a colourful stamp).

Please can you send your mails with beautiful stamps on the enveloppe if possible ? Thanks :-)

• Arts (especially painters and illustrators)
• History (especially prehistory and middle-age)
• Travels (one day perhaps ...)
• Foreign Cultures
• Nature and beautiful landscapes
• Sciences
• Anything sci-fi (especially all about Star Trek ! except the serie "enterprise") and fantasy, cute or dark, is fine.
• Smart/Vintage stationnery
• Penguins, giraffes, hedgehogs rocks for me ^^
• Tea (not too artificial scents), honey, caramel & fudge :)

Perhaps you can watch my flickr to know what are my favourite styles or colors...

I like every color when it is smartly used. But I'm not a too girlie girl or kawaï, even if I like some cute things (nici characters are very nice for example, or Gorjuss...) but not in excess. Not really in Disney stuff (I like a little of Winnie & some nice movies but not "princesses" things...).

I always need scrapbook supplies (flowers, brads, ribbons, ...). I can't get any border stickers (peel-off) here so I will be so happy to receive any. :-)

• Literature ("Les liaisons dangeureuses", R. Kipling, Y. Mishima, H. Murakami, D.Pennac, M. Proust, J. Steinbeck, E. Zola, ...)

• Detective novels (A. Christie, A. Conan Doyle, P. Harding, Y. Khadra, "Millénium", J.-F. Parot, A. Pérez-Reverte, E. Peters, F. Vargas, ...)

• Sci-Fi (I. Asimov, F. Herbert, A. Huxley, T. Pratchett, K.S. Robinson, ...)

And so much others !...

If you don't collect stamps ... If you don't use them for crafts ... I know a good way to be loved by the ones of your partners who are stamps collectors !

In every mail you receive with a beautiful stamp on the enveloppe, cut out nicely the paper around the stamp and keep all of them for later ...

One day you will be partnered with sombody who is a stamps collector ... Send these postage stamps as extra in your swap ... wait and see ! ;-)

Oh I don't even say this for me, I'm sure it would enjoy all the members in my postage stamps collectors group ^^ (but yes it works for me, too ...)
