Pupullona

I'm 35 years old. I live in Poland. I'm married and I'm a mom to a 2 year old boy.

Taking care of my son takes up most od my time, but when I have a moment for myself, I enjoy:

• reading, please see below for details

• traveling, hoping to resume after covid-19 era

• doing sports and fitness, I'm a Zumba addict and a huge fan of Jillian Michaels

• volunteering in a few cultural organizations, e.g. The Museum of History of Polish Jews

• getting to know more about fashion and history of art

• penpaling nad swapping!

I don't listen much to music, it serves mainly as a background to what I do. Because of that I mainly choose instrumental and classical pieces from Spotify playlists.

I'm an avid reader! I read mostly contemporary novels and non-fiction. My favourite character ever is Scarlett O'Hara. The favourite book would be "The Hunger Games". The worst thing ever read? The trilogy about Fifty Shades.

My favourite show ever is "Friends", I could watch it over and over again! Besides, I'm a Netflix addict :-) Recently I've been watching "Star Trek: Discovery".

I mainly swap fb's, slams, decos and any kind of bags. Occasional xslips are welcome.

I also love bookmark and postcard swaps. I prefer the postcards to be unwritten, unstamped, sent in an envelope.

I've come to enjoy craft material swaps and happy mail. I have a soft spot for scrapbooking paper, or paper in general :-) I love memo sheets, stationary, cute envelopes of different sizes, creative papers, die cuts...

I'm not fond of sticky notes though. Glitter and sequins also don't appeal to me.

I'm a collector of bookmarks - I get one anywhere I go! I'm a founder of Bookmark Swaps group that hosts monthly bookmark swaps, feel free to check it out!

I also collect postcards, mostly viewcards and art-related ones, but I'll happily welcome any other theme as well :-)

I'm also fond of tourist souvenirs - most of all, bookmarks and postcards, of course ;-) but I collect also anything else, fridge magnets, notepads, keychains, cloth bags, calendars, stickers etc.

I used to collect hardcover notebooks with different themes. Theoretically I don't collect them anymore but it's difficult to resist if I see a cute one :-)

It's not a collection per se, but I'm very interested in "Vogue", "Harper's Bazaar" and "National Geographic" editions from other countries, in any language.

Currently I'm pursuing two projects:

1) A series of zines with my son's quotes. I would have never thought two year olds could be such a source of wisdom and fun! For this, I'm on the hunt for anything childhood related - stamp images, stickers, washi tape, ribbons, anything really.

2) A travel scrapbooking album. I'm looking for any travel ephemera - maps, tickets, menus, leaflets, used stamps, business cards... Since I'm a beginner, I'd welcome anything that might come in handy - scrapbooking paper, cutouts, punchouts, stickers, ribbons, pieces of string, envelopes...

If you have such items in your unwanted pile, I'll be happy to take them off your hands!
