About Me

Pls no spearmint, cola, tea and coffee for me (unless I sign up for a swap about it!) Thanks!

I believe is better to be written in advance than later... I hate flakers, but I also hate people that do not rate... I know it happens, but I try to keep track of my swaps. Please do the same and do not torture my already tired brain with the responsibility to remind you to rate me!

I'm 26, from Greece. I study photography, but I enjoy direct arts and crafts, things that I can put my hands on!

I'm pretty good with paper and similar crafts. Needle-work of any kind is like an alien to me! I love those stuff but I'm incapable of making them!

I love animals (cats, big cats -tigers, leopards etc-), but I hate insects!

I live in an appartment with my family, so the mailbox is shared with the rest of the building... that creeps me out cause I'm always afraid I'll lose my envelopes!

I'm more into silver than gold, prefer sea to mountain, TV series instead of movies...

Since I live in Greece(=no craft supplies), US, Canada and some European countries are my paradise when it comes to supplies. Here everything costs too much and if I order online it might cost more to get stuff shipped here, than their actual price! So, supplies is what I crave for, the most!

Make my day With...(whishlist!

  • Distress Inks (inkpads)
  • This Clear chalkboard paint *And this
  • Glass etching cream. I want to try it on glasses etc but don't know where to find it in Greece...
  • Embossing powders
  • Inkpads and more Inkpads!
  • Stamp (rubber, acrylic, any)
  • Washi tapes
  • Craft supplies (except buttons and yarns)
  • Stickers for my collection! (not really interested in Christmas, Easter and holidays. And please no more hearts! Hearts and flowers are the most common we get here... :P)
  • Cute Socks (ankle or knee) (EU 38, US 8, UK 5)
  • Nose rings (small, shiny or figures)
  • Earrings (not very long, silver)
  • If you still don't know what to get, look at the wishlist link under my name for ideas!

ANYTHING that you feel like sending! I'm not picky! I just give some ideas that will make my day!

Fav Music, Movies and TV

Rock, pop and house music... music is the fuel for thoughts and creation. Any kind of music, except heavy-metal and trash Greek music :P, is ok for me!

Love to listen to bands and singers from countries I visit! And buying a cd, randomly from a store in that country! :P Songs in the native language!

Choosing movies is a pain... don't get me wrong, I love them... Some of them... Few, to be honest! I guess I can't focus on watching sth for more than 60-70 mins!

But... I love TV series. Crime, mystery, adventure, action and psychology stuff: CSI, Bones, Lie to Me, Criminal Minds etc

Likes

Stamps, Washi tapes and Punchers (border, corner, big, small) are my latest craze! You can make me smile all day!

Arts, crafts, fashion and fashion design are my passions! Also I'm a big sticker collector so I love sticker in any shapes and forms!

I like scrapbooking paper (except the one with phrases such us "happy birthday", "congratulations" etc)

Fairies, Elves, fantasy world and mythical creature are my favorite themes.

Glitter, colors, fabrics, interesting patterns.

Love black and white (photos, creations, fabrics), newspaper patterns, Renaissance Art, Leonardo Da Vinci

Fav colors: Purple, Pink, Black, Orange, Silver, Gold and White/cream

Dislikes

I don't like religious propaganda... But when religion is used for art is great! I hate racists, people that say bad things about my country, family and civilization (who doesn't hate it?)

AND I hate insects... really... it's something I don't like seeing, touching or anything!

no licorice stuff, no coffee, no tea, no mint

Have too many, don't need more:

  • Paoer scraps smaller than 10x10cm (have too many)
  • FBs (don't like the idea)
  • Pencils (don't use them)
  • Confetti (don't use them)

Travels

I love travelling and I like getting my own souvenirs and only from places I've visited.

I'm in love with Paris and France in general... Anything related is earning a heart and my heart!

I loooove Russia and learn Russian... If you have anything I can read in Russian, you can forward it!

Book pages in other languages are welcome!

I'm into new languages but if you send sth with instructions in your language, plz take the time to expain even briefly how to use it!

About Crafts

I can draw, sketch (comic type), make fashion design, cut&glue things, decorate envelopes and stationary... I'm also pretty good with graphic design (real n digital) and since I study photography, with photo editing.

I could send you anything from Greece, even not craft related if you are willing to swap 1by1 with something I can't find here! :)))

I love to receive things that are new to me... Japanese crafts, knitting or things that have to do with fabrics and needles. I'm useless with knitting and sewing...

About Postcards

In the beginning I was totally against postcards...

Now I like them, but I don't like touristic ones. I love graphics, nice views (without "This is -name of the place-" etc), art, photos, random people, music themes, cats, designs, fashion, abstract...

I like to put my most fav PCs in frames (like a collage) and hang it on the wall, so a place name or sth written in the front of the PC, will not make it up there :(

Comment: Hello Maria! I just got the card with the fashion illustration of Kate Moss. Is this the first one you sent me? If it is... the reason why it has taken so loooong is because you put USA instead of France as the country of destination. I think it is neat and I loved the stamp. MERCI!
Response: Hi! Omg... what was I thinking? It was the first one! I'm really astonished it even reached you! :P I've sent another anyway! So you'll eventually get that faster! :)

Comment: Oh, I LIKE what you did with this swap! How very clever of you to make a little paper bag and construct a plant inside! Cute, cute, cute! Thanks so much! :-)
Response: Thank you dear! I thought "paper bag"... so paper bag it is! :P I've seen this method of moving plants before planting in movies I guess!

Comment: Maria - thanks so much for all the fabric and sweets! We tried the lemon but I let my husband have the sesame seed one because it didn't appeal to me. Still, I appreciate you sending me something unique to your part of the world. I'm not sure what I'll make with the fabric but it will definitely get used. The tea towel with ATHENS on it is my favorite. You're an awesome swapper!
Response: Heyyy! I'm so glad you liked my package and I'm still looking for sweets and stuff that might interest you... Whenever I have some gathered I will let you know and maybe we can have a private swap again! Or I could send you a lot of fabric to create something for me and keep the rest (so that I make your collection of fabrics even bigger!)
