About Me

UPDATE: I am on vacation until end of September, 2008.

I am quite interested in themed letter, penpal, postcard and ATC swaps. I like espresso stories.

I'd love to get letters, photos and postcards from all over! Photos and postcards from the places where you live or where you like to be. Or photos you like and enjoy.

My real name is Christine. I am a german woman living with husband and cat in a small village in Southern Germany.

I like animals, nature, my garden, photography, reading and writing, self-exploration, collages and and and ...

I love my husband, my cat, my home, my interests, my empathy, my dreams ...

Unfortunately, I am not a "crafty" person. But I've started making paperart as postcards and atcs and are developing some skills. I'd like to make some zines about my favorite interests (e.g. my home and garden, art, personal interests). Just now, I've finished a little zine about my cat for the cat lovers swap.

possible treats:

postcards/photos from all over the world,

postcards with quotes, art postcards;

ATCs;

zines;

self created Espresso Stories or Poems;

all kind of non-artificial teas;

stationary, stickers (but nothing too cute);

candies? chocolate?

what I am looking for: I'd like to get some personal lines about you, your life or where you are living. That would make me happy!

dislikes:

artificial flavors and scents, synthetics.

black tea, sweetened beverages.

make up.

I can't stand baby photos! e.g. Anne Gedges and other arranged ones. Same with arranged photos of "baby" animals as well as "adult" animals.

Swap flakers! (In my first two letter swaps I didn't get anything ...)

favorites

animals:

I love cats, bears, wolfs, ..., dogs, tigers, ... almost all, but no apes ... (really, I prefer snail, snakes and worms over monkeys)

colors:

I like to wear earthy tones and shades of blue and orange, grey and green

I like to live (interior, my home) in shades of green, orange, lavender, yellow ...

I like purple, indigo, blue in almost all shades, red; bright colors as well as pastels ...

I don't like pink, neon colors, baby blue, bright yellow.

I like black and white patterns.

I could dive into orange, red and brown mixtures.

food:

I am "semi"-vegetarian, for some health reasons I eat occasionally some fish and meat, but I don't like it.

I am not vegan, because I love cheese, cheese and dairies ...

I restrict my consume of chocolate and candy.

I like nuts, fruits, salad, cheese, whole-grain bread and cakes - I create fat and sugar reduced cakes and desserts - cereals ...

I prefer healthy food over fast food.

I am a good vegetarian cook but it has to be simple and must not take long preparation time.

beverage:

I like coffee, black or with milk, nothing else.

I drink water and occasionally some tea, green or white tea, no artificial flavor.

In the summer I enjoy a cup of herb tea, I grow some herbs in my garden.

I like nature and nature related themes (for stickers, stationary, pictures, atc, ...), herbs, bushes and trees over flowers.

Of course, I like flowers!

I like spiritual themes and subjects, I am quite open ... I don't believe in any specific religion.

I am not in Kawaii, Vintage, Hello Kitty, Diddle, and others like that, no scrap booker.

Movies I enjoyed lately: Brokeback Mountain, Unfinished Life, Meet the Fockers, Ratatouille.

Comment: Hello! Thank you so much for the list and the artwork. I really enjoyed reading it. We have some things in common - I hate shopping for clothes too :) And I wear what I have until it is worn out! LOL!
Response: How nice to meet another girl who doesn't love shopping for clothes and doesn't need any new clothes every minute. I like the common feel to wear clothes that real fits me. Thanks for the heart.

Hi I received the great zine yesterday. How do you make those? I have made a dotee that looked like a cheetah cat before for a dotee in disuise swap. I would love to swap with you and make you a cat. I haven't got a chance yet to write about clark and Bad Kitty but I will try to get it done by tomorrow and in the mail. Thanks again for the great zine. Hugs, Brandy

Griffie on May 27, 2008:

Hi Christine! I just wanted to say thanks again for the delightful zine written on Nicky's behalf, as a fellow cat lover, it is something I will treasure! Tracy
