I was born and raised in northern Sweden where I still live with my fiance and our two cats. I love travelling, meeting new people and learning about different cultures. Other things I enjoy are reading, writing, crafting, watching TV (way too much), movies and photography. This year, I hope to get my masters degree in library and information science.

Random facts about me:

• My lucky number is 10.

• I'm kind of clumsy, always bumping into things.

• I have Rheumatoid Arthritis.

• Bees and clowns scare me!

• I will always choose having a family over having a career.

My favorite swaps are the crafty/creative ones or any kind of tea swap. I also love doing one-on-one swaps and putting together surprise packages.

Handmade things, tins, lotus flowers, dragonflies, cats, things related to libraries or librarians, tote bags, scented candles, fruity & berry tastes/scents, pretty papers, silver, lotions, kawaii, socks (US 6 Eur 37 UK 4,5), animals, stationery, coin purses, stickers and anything Batgirl related.

Candy: Dark chocolate, sour candy, hard candy and jelly beans are among my favorites. I love candy!

Colors: Purple and turquoise are my absolute favourites. I also really like pink, lime green and black. But hey, don't worry, there are no colors I really can't stand.

If you wants to see more things I like, for inspiration, check out my Etsy favorites! (Link at the top of this page)

Card making, scrapbooking, other paper crafts, making jewellery with mostly glass beads and metal charms. After joining Swap-Bot I also started making ATCs and altering matchboxes.

I would love to get supplies for my crafts! Anything crafty is always appreciated.

When it comes to tea I'll try anything once! I do, however, have a thing for: fruity/berry flavors, green tea, black tea, white tea, plum flavored tea, Yogi, Chai and any tea with peppermint or jasmine.

Tea dislikes: Tea flavored with only apple, peach or orange. But they're ok when mixed with other flavors.

Tea wishlist:

• Salada, 100% White tea, "Asian Plum"
• Mighty Leaf, "Green tea Tropical"
• Twinings wellbeing blends, "Lemon & ginger"
• Snapple, 100% White tea, "Strawberry"

I always send out my swaps! But hey, Sweden might be far away from where you are so please have patience. Don't hestitate to contact me if you feel it's been too long.

I prefer natural products and stuff that has not been tested on animals.

We don't smoke but we have two cats in our house.

I reuse envelopes and packaging materials.
