About Me

I have always loved creating art, writing letters and receiving them...and couldn't have been more excited when I found Swap bot!

A little more about me: I also love photography, watching movies like Amelie, drinking coffee, trying all sorts of tea, learning languages ( I studied Spanish but have forgotten most of it!), sleeping late, sleep-ins, holidays, weekends, train rides, pastel colors, baking, collecting recipes, running, shopping, laughing, chocolates, eating cakes ...just to name erm a few lol (note: not in any particular order).

Mailing preferences

In terms of mail, I love writing and receiving long letters (writing about life, the small things, stories etc), decorating and receiving pretty envelopes, exchanging tidbits from my life (eg. Postcards, train tickets, my favourite teabags, different currencies, candy, chocolates, stamps, photos I've taken with my Instax...) as well as anything else I think the sender might like. I collect anything and everything....so I honestly appreciate anything given by anyone...I am not someone who is only looking to receive a certain type of thing :)

I'm still a novice when it comes to exchanging stuff through Swap-bot, but rest assured I am one who is a person of her word and will send mail regardless of her lack of artsy skills ;)

What I love to receive & give

  • different sorts of tea (especially unique ones like cocoa chai, banana etc -- not a fan of chamomile/chrysanthemum ones though)
  • vegetarian-friendly lollies and chocolates
  • unique mint tins
  • trinkets
  • postcards (even touristy ones)
  • altered matchboxes

Favorite Movies

Up, Sherlock Holmes, Amelie, Kite Runner...I'm sure there's more but I can't recall for now!

Comment: I got your letter. The facts really help to establish an idea of who you are. =P And the teas are great. I am assuming the Australian Afternoon is a play off of English Breakfast. That to me is really funny. Werid sense of humor or something. Anyways, do look for a reply sometime soon.
Response: Yay:) can't wait for for your reply:))))

Hey, welcome to Swap-bot! Even though you've been here for a while. and thanks for joining my tea swap! (:

Justene on Jan 9, 2012:

Hi Maryam! Welcome to Swap-Bot! So glad you're here! You are sooo going to LOVE it here! There are so many fun swaps, and this is such an amazing community of fun, talented, and creative people!

Welcome also to the 'I ♥heart♥ Mail Art - January' swap --- thank you for joining my swap! If you have any questions, please feel free to holler! Hope to 'meet you in the mail' often! :)

p.s. it is always a good idea to fill out your profile with as much information as possible. All your likes, favourite colours, crafts, hobbies, wishlists, etc. The more specific info you have, the happier your mailbox will be! It makes it much easier for your swap partner to create/choose items that you suit you perfectly if you have a well filled-out profile. You will notice on most of the swaps that one of the main requirements is to have a well-filled out profile.

Happy Swapping! :)

Justene :)
