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.
(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 ...
For Lilja is multicolour, striped & retro clothing or (wooden) toys very welcome. Size 86-98cm/age 2.
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.
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.
Jane Austen, Sujata Massey, Toni Morrison, Alexander McCall Smith, Agatha Christie... I love detective stories and books based on true stories. Good paperback books in English are very welcome too (not from mentioned writers, because I have read them, but alike!)
Peanutbutter candy (like Reese´s), decaffeinated tea/coffee
Kent, Queen, 30 seconds to Mars, The Killers, Manic street preachers, Avenged sevenfold, The Ark, A perfect circle, Lady Gaga, Morrissey, Auf der Maur, John Frusciante, Goo goo dolls, Skunk Anansie, Tool, The Doors...I´m a 60´s and 70´s fan. I would love to get a collection from 60´s!

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.

Hi Petra, My address is Angela Gallagher, 28 Silver Lake Terr. Unit 26, Morton, PA 19070 (citygirl1107@hotmail.com).

Hello Petra, I hope you got my package. When I didn't receive a rating I worried if you ever received it. If you haven''t received it yet please let me know. I send my swaps out pretty quickly so I can't figure what happened. If it's delayed please accept my apology. Thank you! Angela (citygirl1107) btw, this is for the Mothers' Day swap.

Thank you for being an angel on the Brighten up my Monday! swap. I got the package today, and not being sure what it was I ripped it open. I know that it's Tuesday, but today was just horrible until I opened the package! It turned my mood right around.
I loved the candy. I shared with some friends. I wear pins all the time and the Octopus is so cute.
Thank you again!!
