Thank you for stopping by my profile, have a nice cup of tea and enjoy reading:

My name is Marie and I can tell you so much about myself as I’ve experienced one million things in my life. I love living and am ready to experience one million more in the next few years.

My fiancé and I have been together for almost five years and are getting married on 4th of August 2012. Yay!

I study at the university. Have a bachelor degree (3 years) in Communications and am currently studying Learning and Organizational Change (will take 2 years – graduate in the summer of 2012).

I work in improving internal communications in different organizations.

I try to work out at a local gym and get healthier.

Music has always been a big part of my life. I've played the piano since I was six (don't really play anymore though) and also been singing since I was six. I love music.

I have Itunes and would love any hints on cool music to buy from the Itunes store.

Please don't send me anything you don't have the legal rights to send me - I know a lot of musicians so I am a bit strict about the copyright law…

I am a bookworm!

I love mooching books on Bookmooch.com, writing reviews on Librarything and am always on the lookout for new books to add to my wishlists.

I read in English and Danish. I can also read German. I understand a bit French so easy French literature (such as children’s books) is also welcome.

I don't have any favourite genres so surprise me!

I also love books about: blogging, snailmail, mailart, cooking, party planning and do-it-yourself. Books are 'my thing' we even have a room in our appartment we call 'the library' because of all my books ;)

Ah movies. I am not really good at sitting still for 1½ hour (or more) without doing anything.

Therefore I usually watch soap operas, sit coms and so on.. anything that’s around half an hour long.

Some of the movies that left me gazing at the screen for hours have been: Dogville, 10th Kingdom and The Simpsons Movie.

The Simpsons,The Cleveland show, Futurama, Family Guy. I love sitcoms; Two and a half men, World according to Jim, Friends, Big Bang Theory, Ally, Boston legal and so on.

I love making charm bracelets and earrings out of weird stuff. Also sewing is a thing I want to get in to but I think I need some inspiration first ;-)

I like to make things that are actually usable for something.

I like projects that don't take too long to finish as I'm impatient by nature.

Paper bookmarks are nice things to make.

I think it’s easier to talk about which crafts I’m NOT into laughs

Wedding: Picnic themed items

I'm getting married in the summer of 2012 and the wedding is picnic themed. I'm looking for any picnic themed items! I would love, love love!! to recieve stuff for the wedding.

Frog stuff

My mother and I have a thing about frogs.. - Actually I don't collect myself it I just give the stuff to her but I love getting her presents so frog stuffies, frog figurines, frog notepads, frog pens or maybe even soaps which look like frogs will make me jump and scream: Ribbit ;)

Dolls

Mostly handmade. I also own a Pullip doll. I would love handmade or unique dolls. Tiny as well as bigger art projects. I am not a fan of dootee styled dolls.

Other figurines/characters I love

LEGO, Flying pigs, Lady Lovely Locks, Strawberry Shortcake, anything with my name: "Marie" on it

I am (as everyone else) on a swap budget. I am a student so I don't have that much money to spend on swapping but it's my only expensive hobby so I do it anyway ;-)

I send out once a month which is around the 30th or 1st of a month. I always send out before the due-date or on the last day - I never send out late without telling you. (never say never but my system should make sure I don't do it because I'm pretty good at keeping track of what I am swapping).

The swaps I do these days are either Group swaps - mostly in my own group Big Swaps or private swaps.

Should your mail not arrive. Please let me know. I resend if you ask me to, so please write me instead of rating a 1 if you are nervous about your mail not arriving.

THANK YOU

To @hollycm6 for so kindly angeling such a big swap "A Cinderella Swap" from the BIG swaps group where I was flaked on by @candy69 you are wonderful Holly!
