marija

Hi, my name is Mary (born Marija). I'm 42, a widow, and the mother of 21 year old twin sons who currently are college students. They are fraternal twins and go to different schools.

I was born in the old Jugoslavija (Kosovo) but have lived in the Chicago area all my adult life. I have been participating in swaps at Postcrossing for some time and really enjoy receiving postcards.

My hobby and occupation is dressmaker. I'm always shopping for fabric and ideas at resale shops and resellers.

I'd love any card you would want to send me but I do love cats, beagles, butterflies, and birds.

Anything trance, electronic or dance. Balkan music, especially Mina Kostich, Sasha Matich, and Shaban Shaulich.
