About Me

My English is not very good and I have mistakes, but I can comunicate and I'm happy to...I must appologize for my grammer and spelling mistakes, but I believe you understand what I ment to write.

I'm a sailor and I own a sailing boat. I love traveling in my country and all over the world (I was in U.S.A., Thailand, Spain, Egypt, Morocco, Bulgaria, China, greece, London, Italy and Sicily, Petra, Amsterdam,Turkey, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, Prague. I love most kind of animals, and I adore elephants and dolphins and lizards, I love very much birds and buterflies.We had 2 dogs, Boxer and Dutchount, They both died naturaly 14/16 years old. WE had great time togather.

I collect stamps from all over the world, used and unused, old ones and new ones...I absolutely love stamps.

I think that the world needs love' and that this site is a great idea. I try my best to recycle, and to help keep the nature I love so much.

I was working as an educational counsel in high school for many years, As I love so much traveling, I used to be a tourist guide in my vacations as an extra job. I retired after anaccident. Life is different now......... Now I'm doing a little bit of coaching.
I'm a grandmother of two. My Grandson is 5 years, and my just born grandoughter is 10 months. They both live with their parents in a Kibutz.

I love surprises and I love to surprise.

Favorite Music

I love all kind of music, but I prefere country, world music and jazz, classics and soul music,gosple.I do not hear transe and other noisy kind of music.

Favorite Television

I watch Natioal geography and other nature chanals. I like as well "reality" and "history" channals.

Favorite Crafts

I adore All kind of crafts and artsy stuff. I do not craft mayself,but I buy crafty things when I am abroad, specially traditional or ethnic stuff...I love it. May be one day I'll study Anthropology from the crafty point of view. I've recieved some ATCs in the past and some handmade bookmarks, and I want to learn some technics and start creating. I love and use jewellery,beads and silver ones, big earings and necklaces, but I dislike gold and dimonds. I never use bracelets or watches. I like very much vintage and vintage-look items, but I DO NOT LIKE PINK)

my dream

to cross the Passific or the Atlantic with a sailing boat, so that every nautical stuff will be delightful. So far I had sailed in the Red sea and in the Medeteranian: Israel,Egypt,Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Croatia.

food

I love cooking and eating, of course, internatinal food,spicy food. I love spices,I adore McComick's (which are very hard to get here). dark chocolate, red wine, seafood, tea(not green tea) and coffee, fruits and vegetables and nuts and meat....sweet and sour... you name it... I love food.

fevorite colors

purple, green, silver, combinatin of pink+green,black&white. I love colors, all colors, but usually I do not like pastel and neon colors.

Favorite Movies

I love Shrek and other animated moovies (I don't know the English names, sorry... ), Pass it forward, The painted veil, Chocolate and other dramas.

my wish list

I have no.....I love surprises, it is always fun to open an envelope without knowing what's inside. If I'll get something I really don't like, I'll find a proper home for it. REGARDLESS, I'D LIKE TO HAVE WHAT I CAN'T FIND HERE or WHAT I CANNOT DO MYSELF:

*Anything tipical/traditional from your part of the world.

*Kool Aid - it is so comfortable not to carry havy bottles, and we do not have those here. I love the natural flavour (like lemon),and not so much the artificial ones

*Beef Jerky - I loooove it! (specially with a glass of good wine!)

*Everything handmade.I LOVE HANDMADE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY I CANNOT DO MUCH.(Jwelary/fabric/fiber/paper/lace.....everything realy).

*Adress labels (I don't know how to make them...)

*Small bubble envelopes - I always need them. In my town I can find only big ones.

*Dotty dolls, I got two, and they are sooo cute....I want to start a collection.

*Anything CURIOUS GEORGE. I got once in a swap, and it is so cute!!!!! They do not sell these here.

*Candies/chocolate with maple, anything maple realy, chocolate with peanut butter, anything peanut butter realy..ONLY IN THE WINTER, IT'S VERY HOT HERE.

I Collect

Lizard figurines

Used / unused postage Stamps from all over the world.

Anything nautical!!!!!!!!!

All kind of military Badges and hats (for my DH), spacialy navy/coast gard,but any realy are great!!! And....they do not have to be new, he is very happy with used items!.

I want to start Dotty Dolls collection.

Any item related to elephents, dolphins and lizards, birds and buterflis.

There's a photo of it on my Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cupcake_cleopatra/3884705456 It was so great to get something from Israel. I loved the foreign language on all my goodies. Those cinnamon sweets were AMAZING. Wow ! I ate them straight away and could not even save some. And I love my bunny bookmark. Using it in the book I'm reading now. Thank you:)

You are so very welcome for the Curious George cards. And yes, I was worried that the envelope would be too small for the cards, but soo glad that it fit! I had just received it from a swap, which was perfect timing :] I'm happy I could make you smile.
