Petra

7.10.2011 I became mother in August, so I don´t have much time to participate in swaps, but sometimes I host swap or two and I´m very open for private swaps.

I´m a 32-year-old production assistant and I live together with my hubby and my baby girl, Lilja.

I have been swapping more than 15 yrs now.

I´m interested in languages, religions (notice: I´m not religious myself!!!), travelling, nature, animals, flea markets, museums, history, sea, music festivals, penpalling, vintage, retro, butterflies, all kind of bags & purses, books, Russia, learning Russian, Ganesh, cooking, Bollywood dancing,...

In baby stuff I love multicolour, striped & retro things.

I don´t have any websites (in English) at the moment but you can find me from Facebook.

sleep masks, ecological cosmetics (esp.German)

(handmade) reflectors, pins, (handmade) fridge magnets, jewels & brooches, bags & pouches, cute stationary, picture scraps, sewing material, funny buttons, (funny/old) deck of cards, cute hair bands & elastic bands around your head, pins, polka dots, romantic flowers, ribbons, cupcakes, matryoshka dolls, funny animal or food prints (on fabric), Indian styled fabrics & jewelry ...

But as said before, I love surprises!

Recently I have started learning to sew so any fabrics, zigzags, zippers etc. supplies are very, very welcome. The funnier the fabrics are, the better! I also love retro/vintage fabrics.

I also love fabrics and accessories I can use in Bollywood dancing costumes.

I love everything handmade and funny, but I also love SURPRISES! I like anything that can be used. Anything with cupcakes or matryoshka dolls.

This sounds cheesy, but I also love surprises for my hubby. He loves poker, beer, football & beef jerky :) One of the best swaps I ever received was a swap to the significant other and I received a t-shirt where Snoopy plays poker with friends, beer magazine and beef jerky from GreeleyGirl.

paper crafts, deco swapping, dream catchers, stained glass, wool felting, sewing, jewelry, anything with buttons or ribbons,...

I love decos, but I don´t collect ATC´s or do any other mail art.

Open for private swaps! Just ask!

If you participate in swap I´m hosting and think you have been flaked, please contact me!

I have angeled at least 10 times in my own swaps, I hate all those flakers. I go through all the profiles in my swaps every time, but at least every third swap will have a flaker! I´m using automatic rating filter with lowest rating of 5!

I never flake. If there´s some problems with my swaps, f.e. package haven´t arrived, please contact me!

I also hate whining. There is life beyond Swap-bot too and if the rules of swaps aren´t suitable for you, you don´t need to participate at all.
