** 21 April 2013**
Back online again !! Hi, My mailbox is so empty and I would like to have some fun and make some new pals

Hello,

Hi, My name is Teresa and I am from Australia.
I hope to put a smile on my swap partners face. I promise to send my swaps and rate swaps I receive as soon as possible and I like to give and receive comments. I love to find something that is not a bill or advertisement in my mailbox. If you don't receive or are not happy with my swap please let me know.

I like boating, reading, cooking, my crafts, driving and traveling. I enjoy going to the movies and dining or for coffee with my favorite people, and having time with my family and children. I am a full time carer and also work casual.
I have a feathered friend named Freddy and he is a galah & a kitty named Cubbie, my animals wander into my backyard over the years and have adopted me..

Things I like to collect

• postcards *,
• bookmarks, keyrings, pens
• buddhas, dragons, books, recipes
  movies/tv dvd
• My favorite animals are dogs, bears, wolves, whales
• favorite characters strawberry shortcake, care bears, wonder woman,
• My favorite color is purple
  Things to use to decorate my mail + crafts + cards
  Stickers with something with my favorite things on
  I like cute things that make you go awww
  trinkets and dangles or something glitter

Australian customs/quarantine is a bit hard to follow so I will not sign up for or swap any items such as ; plant, edible, fraigrent, herbal, spice.

I don't know how the postal service works but I have noticed sending and receiving.
Postcards sent stamped an written are quicker than envelope mail.
USA seems quicker than UK..
Envelope or parcel with a custom form attached quicker than without form.

I love collecting postcards from anywhere and I think it is nice to see some of the world through cards and pictures that I cannot see in person.
I like history an learning about people and places so I like postcards with a little about you or where you live or the picture on the postcard. I would like to read about the place and the people and my swapping friends..

I am sure I will like any card that someone takes the time to choose and send me, but some of my favorites are
* Favorite countries China, Russia
* Snow scenes ( in the Sunshine state it never snows)
* I like historical places - churches - monuments & historical buildings. Universities or museums
* Something native to your country
native dress-people-culture (what do people in your country wear), any events or attractions (is there some occasion or event special to where you live).
* Favorite animals - whales, dolphins, dogs, bears.
* Night views, Ocean views
* Ad cards - some favorites are entertainment cards - movie - theater - live entertainment or something from my favorites
* Cards with a cause
