To anyone sending me packages: My post office is short staffed at the moment. I receive mail 1-2 times a week so your package could take more than normal. Be patient please (and keep your finger crossed!)

-REGARDING GROUPS- At least for a while, I've decided to stay just in a few groups. Please don't take it personally if I'm leaving/not joining yours. I'm just a bit overwhelmed with everything in my life right now so I need to do what can make me feel better!

My boyfriend..

..is called Elson and is 24. He lives in Portugal and we currently are in a long distance relationship. It's not always that easy!

He's really curious about swap-bot and crafting and he always support me and even gives suggestions which is great especially in bad days when I hate everything I create.

Every now and then I send him litte surprise packages to cheer him up and make this distance less heavy so anything sent to me for him will be warmly welcome!

He likes:

  • Superheros (especially Superman and Spiderman)
  • Movies (esp Matrix, The Crow and Moulin Rouge)
  • Muse
  • Animals
  • Nightmare Before Christmas
  • Chocolate
  • Lineage online game
  • The Simpsons
  • Comics (English or Portuguese)
  • Cars

Languages..

I'm a languages addicted! Besides my mothertongue Italian, I can speak English, French, Portuguese and German. I took Russian for a year but I can remember very little. I truly hope to be able to pick it up again some day.

Feel free to write me your notes/PMs in any of these languages and if you need some help with your Italian I will be glad to help you!

Thank you so much for the gorgeous edible Christmas decorations - I've never seen anything like them (only the normal chocolate ones from the UK) I'm not sure whether I can bring myself to eat them after Christmas - I might just put them away for next year!!

marilavado on Nov 12, 2008:

Hello!

I am the new founder for the European Swappers group. Please come and take a look at the new games and swaps and leave any ideas for swaps you would like to see in the forums.

Thanks!

Thank you so much for the funny looking Happy Hippos! I received them today and I think they are so delicious, yum. I wonder why we don't have those in Finland too since we do have other Kinder edibles here. Thank you so much! :)

Thank you very much for granting my wish of something for Madison. She was thrilled!
