About Me

I´m a 40-year-old woman and a mother of two kids; a daughter (11) and a son (9). I work as a comprehensive school teacher.

I love crafting. Especially ATCs and decos are my faves, also like to make bookmarks. Rubber-stamping is my favourite technique. Altered books are my newest passion and I´m dreaming of receiving one and doing one myself. But I know it´s a lot of work!

I collect postcards on various themes (list below) and postcrossing is one of my favourite hobbies. I also love reading and collecting bookmarks. Swapping ATCs is my passion right now.

My favourite colours are black/white, lime/brown, pink, orange/brown,blue, all vintage-colours.

My favourite theme almost in anything is FANTASY. I love fantasy books and movies like LOTR, Harry Potter, Twilight-trilogy etc. Fairies, dragons, unicorns etc. are my favourite characters. I also like to read books related to the past like the ones from Diana Gabaldon. VINTAGE is one my favourite themes too.

Children´s books (especially the classics) are close to my heart as well. H.C.Andersen, the Grimm brothers, Astrid Lindgren, Roald Dahl, Beatrix Potter and many, many others are amongst my favourite storytellers. Any items, but especially postcards and bookmarks, related to this theme are very much welcomed.

My favourite dog-breed is a German shepherd. Dalmatians are also cute and actually I like almost all the animals.

If you´re sending me postcards, I prefer them unwritten in an envelope, but written and stamped are welcomed too! And reading my profile this far has already given you a lot of hints about the themes I collect, but here´s rather complete list: - children´s book illustrations and fairy tales - books and reading - German shepherds, dalmatians and any dogs at work - London - fantasy - Johnny Depp/ movies he´s acting in - LOTR, Harry Potter, Twilight-saga etc.

And finally, the summary of all the things I´d like to receive: - postcards - bookmarks - ATCs, decos, altered books (just with a few pages is fine) - all kinds of ATCs, card-making and scrapbooking materials - magazines related to crafting (in English) - children´s books (in English) - rubber stamps - all kind of stuff related to children´s books and fairy tales

Thanks for your patience in reading my long profile!

Comment: I got your book today! It's so cool! I really like it so much! My boyfriend just got me the 'Alice in wonderland' book and I've been reading it all week, so it's really super nice to get your chunky book right now. I love everything about it: the little door to the garden, the drink me eat me cards, and the tea (which I am now a bit afraid of to use, haha...) and all the nice fibers and treads, sigh... I can go on like this for a while! Oh and you've got great pictures, where did you find all of them? It's really the best package I have gotten here on swap-bot and I just can't stop smiling :D (a little bit like that, haha...) So thank you very much, and I hope to swap again with you some day! And you should definitly go on with making chunky books! (the heart button is not working for some reason, aargh... But I'll definatly come back for it) Edit to ad: the heart button is working again, so here you go: lots and lots of heart from me :)
Response: Hi! I´m so happy to hear that you´ve received my book and liked it so much :)! Your rating and heart makes me smile too. About the pictures I used; some pictures I just copied from the Alice-books I had, but I found just a wonderful site called Alpha Stamps (you may try to google for it). It´s in the USA and has got a lot of fairy tale related picture sheets and stamps as well. But ordering from there is rather expensive, so I couldn´t take all the goodies I´d wanted... But anyway; thanks once again for your lovely respond and happy swapping !
