I just love to read. Especially books that are based on a true story or non-fiction books. I read and write English and German fluently.
For almost two years, I've been on Postcrossing, sending and receiving postcards from all over the world.
I like singing in the choir and in the shower; listening to good music; stickers; bright colors like red, yellow, and purple; the fall season with its colorful leaves; wildflowers, poppies, sunflowers, dandelions; the smell of the air after rain; salamanders, butterflies, ladybugs, snails, squirrels; traveling notebooks, handmade postcards; sitting under a tree and enjoying the nice weather and the things around me; berries and bananas, good food; sunsets; taking photographs with my digital camera; close-up pictures; my hometown Luebeck where I grew up; watching a landscape from a plane; going to church on Sunday morning; cute socks; chocolate, filled gingerbread hearts; true stories...
Some items that would probably make me especially happy: * Any kind of handmade "book" (e.g. handmade notebook, altered book,chunky book, nice deco, art journal, travel journal, mini scrapbook) * Books to read (see wishlist link) * Moleskine like notebooks (the real thing or imitations...) * A head band (to collect my sweat when I exercise - I currently only have a plain white one)
Handmade postcards, journaling(drawing, writing, stickers,...), traveling notebooks, ATCs. I haven't done crochet for a long time, but I'd like to try again soon... I love stickers - glossy, sparkly, textured or just any kind of special stickers are especially fun.
Classical (e.g. Bach); contemporary Christian; The Mamas and the Papas
Salamanders and newts, birds (especially the small songbirds and ducks), interesting insects, sheep, and in general any wildlife.
Fahrenheit 451 (Ray Bradbury), The Screwtape Letters (C.S. Lewis), Safely Home (Randy Alcorn), the Bible, Moomin. In general, I like non-fiction and fiction based on a true story. I like it if I can learn something interesting in an enjoyable way. I can read English and German fluently. For a list of books that I'm looking for so I can read them please check out my book wishlist linked at the top of this profile.
Monk, Star Trek Voyager, Trading Spaces, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, The Amazing Race, The Biggest Loser
Ice Age, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Copying Beethoven, The Final Inquiry. Hayao Miyazaki's films, such as Howl's Moving Castle.
Colors: Red, orange, yellow; rich jewel-tone colors
Things to eat: Berries and other fruit, chocolate (good quality, preferably fair trade, no cheap brands like Hersheys...), filled gingerbread hearts/cookies
Shoe size 40-41 German, 9 1/2 US. Size for T-shirts: XL. Socks should be at least 50% cotton or other natural fiber, my feet sweat too much in acrylic. T-shirts cotton only, no acrylic mix. I'd be especially happy to get something made of organic cotton or other eco-friendly material.
I don't have holes in my ears, so I don't wear earrings.
I don't like any kind of coffee. And I don't like peanuts (I'm not allergic, so traces are fine, but please not peanut butter cups etc.).
I don't really like Pooh the Bear very much...
When sending craft supplies, nice clippings from magazines, used stamps, and such are fine, but don't send me photocopies of mediocre quality on regular paper or something like that.
