I am in love to experiment with colors and different styles. My favorites are botanical, galaxies, animals and vintage.

No matter if simple letters to penpals or paper folder for bigger swaps. It is a pleasure to experiment and create something incredible out of scraps. It makes me really happy.

Most of the time, if I create a happy mail I try to stick to a certain color scheme or theme. It is a bit of problem of mine. I guess my aesthetic eye couldn't bare it otherwise 😅 I love to receive what you send me, but if you need a bit of advice:

Washi tape, sticker flakes or sheets, paper scraps, magazine cut outs for collages, used stamps. I guess only the sky is the limit.

Hi, I am Julia from Austria, and currently 25 years old. The last ten years I have been into penpalling (also writing letters and sending off postcards) and creating in general. And sometimes I find a new site or community to find new friends around the world. I found swap bot through Instagram, and fell in love almost instantly. Recently I got myself also a postcrossing account to send off more postcards into the world. I am trying to make over letters and swaps friends, because in real life I am a very shy introvert. It makes it way easier to talk about myself and connect with people through letters. Random fact about me: I am also having a cat addiction 😊🐈 but I do love also other animals like tigers, owls, foxes, etc.

Thank god I don't have food allergies, so, my food love stands nothing in the way. Unfortunately, to my weight sometimes 😅 But I guess life is too short to limit myself all the time.I also have to say I prefere coffee or hot cocoa over tea. I guess I tried to many teas which were not my taste, and know I barely drink it - especially herbal tea. But I do have to admit I get intrigued by rather unconventional tea tastes like cookies and cream or winter editions.

Oh, I can't really say I have a favorite book. I do love Thrillers, Horror and Mystery books especially with a few good plot twists, but can also find joy in Science Fiction, Dystopian and Fanatsy books. So, I am sure a brighter personality than my book favorites 😅

I also found myself discovering the site bookcrossing. So I can connect with other book lovers and sending some of my loved books to other people. Please, if you have ever a recommendation about a book, tell me about it! I love to talk about books.
