I regularly need some breaks from swap bot, or I may private swapping but I'm never far from swap bot and always receive notifications when I receive a message/rating...

I'm Salomé and I'm into penpalling and swapping for years. I’m a very sensible and daydreaming girl, suffering from anxiety and high nervoussness. I’m 37 but I feel more like a teenager, I can have difficulties to control my emotions, I can feel sad or excited for little things and I have a rich inner world ! My main passions are craft and being outside in nature when the weather is good enough and nature beautiful (Spring, Summer). I love art journalling, scrapbooking or making cards, ATC anything as long as I can use ink sprays, inks, pigment powders (brushos, magicals by lindy's stamp gang), stamps and stencils. I also like writing diaries or journal photos, making photo albums of my summer adventures, penpalling, swapping, making penpal flipbooks.

At this time of the time of the year, I spend more time inside, crafting or reading. Halloween and Christmas helps me a lot to go through those seasons I really hate because of the bad weather, the cold, short days and nature going to sleep . I’m a Spring /Summer girl !

I live in a lovely little town in the country, in a house with a nice garden with my boyfriend. We have 2 cats : Pichu and Dana, a tamed cockatiel bird : Enya and 2 angora hamsters : the mum Daenerys and Leonardo her son Leonardo.

More than everything, I love reading handwritten letters and there’s nothing I hate more than little notes, they make me feel people are here to get something only, not to meet new people and give. I can’t imagine sending a swap without a little, or long letter to chat about the swap, about me or comment my partner’s profile. Please, wether you joined a penpal swap or not, please write me something more than just « hello, here is my swap » !! Tell me about you and anything else you want !And I don’t like typed letters…

I’m in love with mini printer or polaroid photos and I’d be happy to receive some, but also normal size photos. It’s very exciting for me to receive photos from nobody at the other side of the world and have a little sight on their lives ! If you don’t find anything I like to send me, send me some photos of you and your life, it will make me happy !!

Lately I'm a lot into Kawaii things and I'd be happy to receive things as it's hard to find them in France. Things like letter sets/sheets, memo pads/sheets, keychains, charms, little figure, pens, rulers, coin purse and other little bags etc...

Characters/brands I love: Q lia, san x, crux, kamio, sanrio, mamegoma, charmmy kitty, jewel pet, cinnamoroll, my melody. PLEASE NO HELLO KITTY AND RILAKUMA BEAR!

I also like Disney and the same items. My favorite disney characters: Stitch, Tinkerbell, Miss bunny, Marie from the aristocats, Chip and Dale. NO DISNEY PRINCESS.

I also really like pokemons. My favorites: Pikachu, Shaymin, Eeve, Dedenne, Pachirisu, Emolga, Deerling. I love all the cute ones, not the "boyish" ones.

My general taste for craft supplies is for bright colors, motives or animals/characters /flowers. Avoid sending me dark, neutral colors and plain things with no or a few motives/images.

My favorite colors are pink and lime green. Then comes light blue, purple, yellow

Themes I like : nature (flowers, plants, animals, instects), KAWAI, girly, fantastic, mystical creatures (fairies etc…), pets (especially cats, hamsters but also rabbits and guinea pigs).

I like beautiful embellishments flat or 3D, tags, paper sheets, paper/tissue flowers, enamel dots (in my favorite colors…), die cuts (including those made by yourself with your cutting machine).

Washi tapes : entire rolls preferably but samples is ok too. I want washis with characters/animals/flowers on them, and no white/transparent background please.

Pens : I like pens of all kind from the fancy ones to the simple ones from the supermarkets. I like pink and turquoise ink but hate black ink. Please be careful to not send me black ink, I won’t use those pens.

Clear stamps and stencils

Touristy brochures and leaflets.

Touristy postcards : cities and landscapes. No museums or pieces of art.

Souvenirs from your country or a country you visited (keychains, magnets, pens etc...). I especially like those with a photo from the country, or the flag.

Colors I hate: black, red,orange, all dark and neutral shades of colors. Please, don’t send me those colors as I don't use them and don't like them.

Simple flat stickers, even as a gift, I don’t want them, I have too many.

Drinks and food

Themes I'm not interested in and don’t want: vintage, baby, children, too childish images, vehicles, food, wedding, hello kitty.

Nothing religious.

PLEASE, BE CAREFUL AND RESPECT MY DISLIKE LIST, I REGULARLY RECEIVE THINGS I DON’T LIKE AND IT’S FRUSTRATING !
