Creeny

I am Creeny from Germany.
I live in a small town just a few kilometers away from Hamburg...so I can get the great feeling of the big city, but also the quiet, stressless atmosphere of living in the countryside.

I love drawing, painting, carving stamps, stenciling & other ways of turning simple paperthings into something special. ...sometimes I try Origami, but my patience doesn`t work so well for doing things like that ;)

My favourite craft is sewing & I love to create nice things made of wonderful fabrics :)

Harry Potter, The Neverending Story, Round Ireland with a Fridge, The Little Prince...everything from Astrid Lindgren (I know, the books are for kids, but they are lovely :) ), books from Walter Moers like "The City of Dreaming Books"...

I don't like kitschy and romantic literature...it's not my world ;)

...I should read more books, but I still have to work on it ;) At least I listen to lots of audio books while I am working on crafty stuff.

I love listening to medieval rock, (Irish) folk and anything that rocks, but I also listen to a lot of different styles of music if they fit in my mood ;)

• COFFEE - a day can only be a good day with a big cup of coffee after getting up! (no flavoured coffee please)
• CHOCOLATE!
• TEA, esp. green & white teas (pure or flavoured), but any other kind of tea is ok, too.
• all kind of mugs & cups
• cookie cutters
• nice little kitchen stuff, especially red and orange ones
• pieces of dark art
• music
• black, red, orange & yellow things
• all kind of cotton fabrics and japanese fabrics with tiny motives
• rubberstamp inks, stamp-carving blocks & other stuff to use for stamping
• all kind of buttons, ribbons, trims, laces & other sewing stuff
• ladybugs, strawberries, apples, cherries & cherry blossoms, stars, music notes, four-leaf clover, mushrooms (esp. toadstools)...
• checkered or polka dotted things in different colours
• Moomins :)
• cute post-its (I use a lot of them cause I am quite forgetful most of the day ;) )
• deco tape, stationery, notecards etc.
• Calvin & Hobbes

• pics and drawings by Kurt Halsey Frederiksen

• too sweet sweets ;) (caramel, nougat etc.)
• "cheap-tasting" chocolate - better less good chocolate for a higher price instead of eating a strange mix of sugar, fat and a touch of cocoa ;)
• licorice & licorice-flavoured stuff
• artificial smelling & tasting stuff
• peanutbutter & peanut-flavoured stuff
• Hello Kitty
• pink, pastell-coloured things & glittering stuff
• intensive sweet smelling things (candles, cosmetics etc.)
• holiday-related things (helloween, christmas, easter...) - I am picky on those things
• charms & jewellery

• sorry, I am not a big fan of ATC's...

There are a few things to mention about my way to swap ;)

• I reuse packages, envelopes etc. so don't wonder if you receive a package which looks a bit "used" or once was a box of cookies or anything like that...
• I try to minimize the postage and so I often use rather flat envelopes. In this way I can spend my money on buying things to swap, to create new stuff etc... :)

• I will resend swap-items, if I have something which is perfect for another partner. So don't think, I don't like the items you sent me. I am not picky;) But I love to give away beautiful things! If you don't want me to resend things you sent me, please tell me & I'll keep them for me.

• if you don't receive a swap from me, please contact me before rating. I will always resend a not received swap!!
