I'm a normal girl, with a not so normal life. I lived abroad for close to ten years, changing countries, languages, cultures and climates so every now and then. My roots lay in Belgium, Europe, though. Since 2.5 years I'm back here.

I am a mom of two. One is holding my hand since little over a 1.5 year, my other one watches us from above, in heaven...

I'm married to someone who was born at the other side of the world. I'm 33 years old myself.

Oh, and my name may seem funny, but gets pronounced like Yoka. Just like that...

Looking forward to this new adventure

As for my hobbys - I LOVE penpalling(which I have been doing non-stop since I was 9), swapping deco's, and being creative (painting shirts for my son, making collages, making my own postcards, decorating cupcakes,...)

I also LOVE

• nice and cute stickers,

• colorful and special napkins,

• out of the ordinary stationary,

• art - photography,

• fruit tea from all over the world,

• beautiful bookmarks

• Atc's

• Zentagles

• Cute envelopes

• Pieces of Personal art

• Decotape

• Deco's (NO fb's, lb's, slips, ...) of all sorts of quality...

• Anything colorful

• Anything vintage-y

Shallow conversations, multi-view postcards, celebrities, fashion, make -up, gossip, drama, truly childish stuff (Bob the builder, spongebob, teletubbies, Cars, Princesses, Micky Mouse and alike)....

Once I wondered why the hell people would collect teabags, or tea wrappers. I still don't know the answer, but I decided to join the club :)

You will basically make me happy with ANY kind of tea. I will get very happy with fruit teas or teas with dreamy/unusual names, and just a little less happy with Chais, Rooibos or Earl Grey's, but all is welcome... If, on the other hand, you want to make me ecstatic, send me a flavour that I am still missing in my collection... (see link above)

I'm in the midst of keeping track of my collection on my newest blog: www.thedorkiesthobbyintheworld.blogspot.be - Feel free to check it out!

I always send my stuff in time. If for whatever reason you have not received my swap,please contact me, before rating. I believe in open communication, in order to prevent disappointment on both sides...

I am rather laid back, and won't make a fuss if you send my swap a few days late... Just be fair, let me know through a private message, and DO send it then, with the minimum standards described in the swap. That way we'll all stay friends!
