Petra

I´m a 33-year-old tv production assistant and I live together with my hubby and my daughter, Lilja, who was born 15.8.2011.

I have been swapping more than 15 yrs now, but because of the overwhelming motherhood, haven´t been that active in Swapbot lately.

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, all kind of bags & purses, books, Russia, learning Russian, Ganesh, cooking, Bollywood dancing,...

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

sleep masks, ecological cosmetics (esp.German)

I´m into ecological stuff in all kinds of things. I use a lot of flea market boughts (very popular in Finland). We will be moving soon and I will get my own crafts room that I will decorate in style of 70´s & 60´s so all interior design in those ages/retro/repro are very, very welcome. I will also store the craft stuff in black&white (or multicolour retro) tin boxes so they are very welcome too.

I will also decour my kitchen with (retro) glass jars, toilet with colourful toiletry stuff & Lilja´s room with Moomins, Winnie the Pooh & retro stuff. All of them is very welcome.

I love handmade & surprises! I like anything that can be used.

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.

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.
