About Me

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.

Favorite Music

Current playlist:

1) Glee: "Baby It's Cold Outside" 2) Duffy: "Well, Well, Well." 3) Scissors Sisters: "Any Which Way" 4) Etta James: "At Last" 5) Train: "Hey Soul Sister" 6) La Roux: "Bulletproof" 7) La Roux: "In For the Kill" 8) Tim McGraw: "Don't Take the Girl" 9) Robert Palmer: "Simply Irresistible" 10) several long dance mixes

Favorite quotes

"Since the state must necessarily provide subsistance for the criminal poor while undergoing punishment, not to do the same for the poor who have not offended is to give a premium on crime." -John Stuart Mill


"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." -Albert Einstein


"...the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows of life; the sick, the needy and the handicapped. " ~ Last Speech of Hubert H. Humphrey

"...it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.”

— Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, 1781-82

"You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do." - Ann Lammont

"Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." Mark Twain

"A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine." Thomas Jefferson

Comment: Hi there! I was going through my old swaps trying to archive them and I realized I never rated you for this swap. First off, I'm terribly sorry for the extreme delay. I must have gotten lazy even with my swaps due to my high school senioritis! Anyways, I wanted to make sure you got rated even if it's really late. Thanks again for being such a wonderful swap partner.
