About Me

Hi there!

About SWAP-bot:

I kindly ask you to send me a message if you have not received anything from me before rating.

My intro:

I am a 40-something lady. I live in the country with my family, I like outdoors, reading and writing.

Favorite Music

Opera. Chansons. Classical. Movie soundtracks.

Favorite Movies

Drama, romantic comedies.

Favorite Books

Novels, books on self-improvement, family values & writing and children's story books.

My children and I like all kinds of stories with great illustrations. No Disney, please. We are also interested in children's magazines with stories & poems (such as Cricket).

Postcard preferences

I like cards with: ethnic themes (costumes, rituals), one-image views of a region/city/village, urban scenes from the streets, black & white, children's books' illustrations.

I also like cards with people's faces; cards with colourful items (rainbows, umbrellas, mugs, fruit...).

I am not fond of ad cards (unless I sign up for a swap with ad cards), animal cards, cards with celebrities or with erotic scenes...

Hobbies & Wishlist

I like items that are ethnic/traditional for a country/region. The kind I can use, not to put it on the shelf for decoration.

I don't send copy-paste letters to pals even if they are computer-typed. I enjoy reading people's personal life stories related to childhood, love/marriage, regrets, friendship etc. Let's exchange stories privately.

I am interested in Children's (picture) books, children's magazines with stories and illustrations (original & published in your countries). If you are interested in a private swap, pm me.

Stickers, cute cards and bookmarks will make my girls' day. And Hello Kitty. And anything with Eiffel Tower.

My favourite colours: blue, purple, green.

Self-made note/greeting/cards (unwritten, so I can use them) appreciated a lot.

Impressionism, my favorite. Van Gogh.

I don't drink coffee, only decaf, and I like tea.

I don't really collect anything. I am more into functional things that can be used, not into decor.

Please don't...

Please don't send cut-outs or pages from books, especially children's books. I don't like the idea of tearing up a book. I am not into scrapbooking.

Please don't send anything that smells of smoke because I will trash it.

Please don't send any make-up, lotions, nail-polish, shampoos or similar.

I don't drink coffee, only decaf, and I like tea.

Comment: Meri, thanks for you well written and heartfelt story. I too kept diaries but I don't think they were read -- an they never had anything in them [until I went away from home] that would have been even vaguely interesting. And thanks for the really lovely photo PC.
Response: Thank you! I appreciate your comment and I hope we can exchange more stories in the future.
