About Me

I am Dutch woman who has just returned to her roots after living in Taiwan and Spain for 8 years.

♣ I love swapping postcards, 1:1, fully written and sent with (preferable) lovely stamps attached.

♣ Lately I have discovered a new hobby, making ATC and tags. I'm still figuring out if Rolodex art is something interesting for me, too.

I'm easy to please....so where are you waiting for...let's swap :D :D :D!

Favorite postcards

♣ Lately I started to collect the following kind of postcards:

  • Correspondances
  • Limoon
  • Misstigri and other similar artists (www.gnautics.com)
  • Jetoy
  • Papaya Art
  • Gor Juss
  • Inkognito
  • Paperchase postcards
  • Nouvelle Images

♣ I also like cityviews/nature views and cards that really show the beauty of the country itself. I also like mapcards

♣ Cards chosen with care are the best ones to receive ♣

♣ I don't like AD cards, and cards with animals, flowers, babies, Disney, and modern art on it.

♣Special/lovely stamps are highly appreciated.

♣Please check my collection for cards that I have already: www.flickr.com/photos/icitaiwan1♣

Favorite Crafts

I like papercrafts, such as mail art, postcards, ATC's and tags.

I have just started making ATC and tags. I'd love to receive anything that I can use for making ATC's and tags such as:

Collage sheets, vintage buttons,used stamps, mini enveloppes, lace, any vintage embellishments, Tim Holtz style scrapping and Artjournaling - Asian/ birds/angels/buddha themed things.

I'd also love to receive the follwing items:

  • Washi tape
  • Clear of Rubber stamps
  • Decotape (vintage look - soft colors)
  • Background stamps
  • Vintage look paper (music notes - people- food/recipes)

I'm still an ATC newbie and I don't have so many things yet. I love using warm/vintage colors and anything that goes with that is more than welcome :)

Favorite colors

Aqua blue, purple, and red.

♣ Bright colors will cheer me up ♣

I also like

♣ 3D souvenir magnets from scenery places

♣ Souvenir pens

Furthermore I like:

  • Chocolate (peanut butter cups, Fazer, Geisha)
  • Flavored tea (not herbal tea)
  • Mix of a local dish in your country

... and other kinds of souvenirs that are usable in daily life..

♣ There are also items that I don't really like,although I'm easy to be pleased such as pins / flags, boring colors, shot glasses

♣And one more thing...please don't send me secondhand items unless it's allowed in the swap :)♣

Ratings

♣Please contact me when you haven't received a swap from me.I always send my swaps before the deadline.

♣Please give me a rating once you have received my swap. I'm doing the same after receiving each swap.

♣Please write the swap name on the swaps you are sending. I am sometimes active in more swaps and not only on Swapbot.

Some more info about me

♣ BOOKS: I love to read from time to time and like too many autors. Just to mention a couple of books/authors: John Grisham, Dan Brown, Robin Cook, Sophie Kinsella, Khalid Hosseini, Nikki French and other chit-lit books

♣ TV: thrillers, romantic comedies, and cartoons (I loved Madagascar 2 and Kung-Fu Panda)

♣ MUSIC: Coldplay, Blof, 80's music, Rolling Stones. I actually like a lot of music, except for classical music

♣ FOOD: Asian food, Italian food and tasty "quick" meals

Comment: Hi Andrea, Thanks so much for the 'Reading around the clock, Taipei' postcard. This is one of my favorite types of postcard, anything with books. I knew about the Netherlands Postcrossing postage stamp, but this is the first one I have received. Thank you! Im jealous - i will the USPS would issue one too. Happy New Year & good luck with getting settled back in the Netherlands. ;)

Comment: Nu-hao to you, too. What an informative and pretty postcard. Pretty stamp, too. Thank you very much. I am also now practicing to write USA, in Chinese.:-)
Response: Thanks for your rating and good luck with copying "Mei Guo" (=USA) in Chinese :). My Chinese is still very bad, but I do know how to write country names in Chinese well. I guess that I've written too many postcards ;) "Zai Zien" (=good-bye)
