Thank you for stopping by!
My name is Anna, I'm 22 years old "on the paper", but sometimes it feels like I'm 94 years... I have experienced a lot in my life, sadly many of those thing I wish that noone have to go thru...
I can be very childish too, I thing others see me like the young Amelie on the picture above. Always up to something, and like to make other people smile.

I live in the southern part of Sweden, near Denmark. The name of my town is Kristianstad. In the city and the ares around it lives about 80 000 persons. We have everything we need here, except from a good scrapbooking/crafting-store... It's so annoying to not have that around... Luckily there's Internetshops :)
__
I live in a nice two room apartment with my two catchildren Malva (5 y.o.) and Sirius (2 y.o.). They come from a nonprofit union for homeless cats. Malva was 2 years when I adopted her. She already had the name Malva, and I decided to keep it. I think it's so beautiful! Malva is the Swedish name of the Mallow-flower. Sirius was a kitten when he moved to us. He was found abandon of his mother, so a woman had to fed him with a feeding bottle. Back then, he had the name "Kalle". But when he was 12 weeks and ready to move home to me I changed his name to Sirius, after "Sirius Black" - taken from the Harry Potter books. But my Sirius is grey, not black :)
__
Writing poems in candlelight is something that I love to do. I love to wear black clothes, especially comfortable, long dresses.
__
I like to make random people that I don't know smile. I use to put notes written on small purple/pink papers, with cute message like "Have you hugged someone today?" or "Your smile can save someones day!". I leave them on buses, in cafés or in the supermarket.

I have only read English for three years in school, year 2000-2002. But I love languages, so I have learned it on my own. Maybe I'm not so good at spelling and grammar, but I try my best!
__
I'm religious, I see myself as a spiritualist who's believe in the power and healing of love. I like to thing there's both a God and a Goddess. God, Mother Mary and Gaia are the ones to whom I aim my prayers. I also think we have spiritual guides and angels who help us in our jorney here on Earth.
I have been a Wiccan for some years ago. But now my faith has grown into another path, so Wicca dosen't "fit" me anymore. But I still wear my pentagram every day.
__
In April 2008, I got a diagnosis, Aspergers Syndrome. If you wanna learn/know more about it, feel free to ask me!
__
Beacause of my Aspergers diagnosis plus some anxiety and depression, I not always feel so well. I have days when I need to isolate myself at home and just trying to survive.
Mostly I enjoy just writing snailmails. I love to decorate these with stickers and use nice stationary.
I LOVE scrapbooking too, making cards and decorate envelopes.
I do some jewelry-making too, but on a very simple level. I use elastic line and tie it together in the end.
Something else I'm interested in is baking/cooking.
I LOVE chocolate! But I'm lactose intolerant, so I can only eat chocolate with (at least) 70 % cocoa (but I don't like too dark chocolate, so not something over 75 % please!).
My favourite flavours are marzipan, nuts (all kinds!), cinnamon, coffee, orange, raspberry, pineapple, coconut and mint.
I don't like raisins or dried fruit like peach. Please, no alcohol filled either!
Please look carefully so you don't send anything that consist some kind of milk-product! Here are some words that you can look out for/avoid: lactoserum, milk powder, whey, milk solids, modified milk ingredients, etc.

I always send out packages when I have joined a swap (if i don't have left it before sign up dead-line, I mean...) My swap motto is: "I rather join few swaps, and send packages with my heart truly in it". I love to see my partner happy. I'm a student, so I don't have much money either. That's why I don't swap so often... If I have had the money, I would swap all the time! Private swaps are welcome, if I have time and money to do it. Just ask me!
I'm lactose intolerant, which means that I can't eat/drink anything that has any kind of milk in it!
If you want to send me chocolate/candy (I would love that!) so please read the labels that show what the product consist of carefully!
Some words to watch out for/avoid are: lactoserum, milk powder, whey, milk solids, modified milk ingredients, etc.
Thank you for your patience!

Wishing you a beautiful Spring Group: European Swap Diva's. Many Greetings
LOVE your little pic x Amalie <3
Anna,
Thanks for coordinating the chocolate swap! Your English is VERY good. I am in awe of Europeans who have such a command of more than one language.
Enjoy your grey cat-girl, Malva. We have two rescued cats: Princess, a large brown tabby and Licorice, an all-black little boy with a kinky tail and the heart of a puppy.
Hello! I am a newbie on swap bot and I had to join your chocolate swap. My family has owned a chocolate store since 1954!, in Ohio USA. And naturally I love chocolate too. Enjoy your goodies and Thank you!
Hi Anna! I joined your swap! That's a great idea! I'm completely in! Hope get a nice partner! hugs Adriana
