About Me

°~please if I'm your partner who you'll recieving from and you like the surprise do not check my website, cause there are pictures of the swaps I recieve but also the ones I need to send out~°

Hi all of you! Thank you for reading my profile. I'm Marijke, a 30 year old single mum of 2 daughters. We live in Belgium near to the beautiful city Antwerp. We love going out to do all kind of fun things: zoo, park, swimming, .... I work as a tutor with young children who are deaf or have a hearing loss. I like a lot of crafts, reading, surfing on the web...but the last few months I love to write... Only letters 'cause I'm not the -write-a-story-type.

My english isn't verry good but as you see... I do my best. Please.... if I offend you in any way... it's not my intention... and I already say sorry in advance. With writing letters I hope I'm improving my English. I speak Dutch so you can write me in Dutch too if you want.

ABOUT SWAPPING

I mark my items sent when I put the envy/PC/... in the mailbox. The mailbox is just across my door but they only pick up the mail once a day and only from monday till friday. So it is possible that the date on the stamp is not the same as when I marked it sent. I only do this when I'm sending before deadline.

I always rate, mostly the day I received your swap. Still...if you think your swap must arrived already, just PM me to ask. I'm only human ;)

The most fun part of swapping for me is reading the profile of my partner and try to find something she/he would like. Even when it's senders choice I try to find something that matches your like-section. I'm sorry if I wasn't able to find it!

Postcards

Since I'm on swapbot... I started to like PC a lots. Can you please send them naked and stamped? I prefer non tourist PC. If you like to send a tourist PC, could you please send a night view? If you are from Spain: any postcard of Barcelona is great: I just love the city. Themes I would like to receive

  • animals especially butterflies, panda, penguin, seal
  • children books illustration
  • Gorjuss
  • black and white photography especially children
  • Disney especially Pixar (please no Disney Princesses or Winny the Pooh)
  • I don't mind to receive tasteful nudity/erotic pictures
  • something listed in my LIKES

You can take a look at my favorites on Postcrossing. I rather don't get handmade PC's unless the swap is calling for handmade items ofcourse.

penpalling

At the moment I focus on swaps for postcards and pen pal-related stuff. I love profile surprises and other bigger swaps, but I need to watch my budget. I love to get cards/letters with chitty-chats. Some decoration on the card/paper and envelope is much appreciated! I used to swap FB when I was much younger and I loved it. I love to make profile based FB's. But I have no idea how I can start to swap them again. Maybe someone is willing to help me out? Do pm me!

some favorites

CRAFTING I don't craft a lot at the time but the things I like to do

  • sewing
  • knitting
  • crocheting
  • fimo (polymer clay)
  • making jewels
  • anything with paper
  • anything with stamping For all the things I do ...I'm a beginner. I don't find the right moments to craft a lots. Can somebody send me some time? :-) And because I want to do so many things...I'm not specialized in one or another....practicing all of it :-)

MUSIC

  • Pink !!!
  • Black Eyed Peas
  • Alicia Keys
  • Adele

Comment: AWWWWWWWWW, I like the hedgehog so much! And the stamp is awesome, as are all the cute stickers and stamps and doodles and translation of my phrase in Dutch :) You can too draw! It was a great turtle! :) Thanks so much! It was a pleasure to receive. Oh, coincidentally - the same day, someone else sent me the phrase, and theirs looks like it says, "Ik gooi graag sneeuw naar auto's". I was surprised the two were different! :)
Response: Well thanks to you-tube I draw the little animals ;) 'ik gooi graag sneeuw naar auto's means I like to throw snow at cars. I guess I wrote. Ik houd ervan om sneeuw naar auto's te gooien...if you translate it literally it means: I love to throw snow at cars...

Thank you so much for your envie for the WTA#16! I loved it, the little notebook is so pretty and the bookmark is very cute - also, I didn't know, the Lotus spread was Belgian! Learned something again, I should give the lady some credit! :D

LovelyLici on Apr 14, 2013:

Yes, I think so. Only mail from Australia tends to take 6 weeks. It must have gotten lost along the way. :(

Janaina on Apr 14, 2013:
