Please let me know if you don't receive something. I take photos of the envelopes/boxes and contents before I mail them to have proof that I actually completed them. I also almost always have a receipt from when I mail something out as well.

When you send me something that isn't flat mail and have to fill out a customs sticker please mark as a gift otherwise if it is over 200kr/ $32 i'm charged a crazy amount.

I do my best to send things that you would like based on your profile. Just take note I do live in a small town in Norway with only one small craft store so I usually can not get anything super specific but I do try to find something similar that you may like. Sometimes I add extras in swap envelopes. It's not because I want a heart. Just think you may like or can use it based off your profile. Please rate me for my artwork.

I moved to Norway, from NJ, US, on my 21st birthday to be with my now husband. Was suppose to be a two week trip but decided never to go home. We welcomed our little girl on February 12, 2012. Best Mother's day present. :)

We live in a small town in Norway. The closest big city is about two hours away, called Trondheim. Besides my family I mostly keep to myself. I have a few friends back in the states but we talk a lot less since I moved. I have a bit of a anxiety problem. I am so awkward around people. Once I meet someone a few times it starts to get a little better. :p

I love fall and winter. I love wearing cozy clothes and drinking hot apple cider. I like to paint rocks and leave them around my town to brighten up someones day. I like gardening in the spring and going for walks. I love my daughter and making her laugh. I love I can be myself with my husband and play video games with him into the early morning.

My husband and I.

My daughter Emma.
