I\'m a 36 year old woman from Finland. I have 2 little boys (ages 4 and 8) and a husband. We live in an old house that we are fixing... lasts forever but we love the house and the place!

I like tea (not green), traveling, Scrabble :), board games, stationary, candles, fabrics+felts, buttons, ribbons, yarns, polka dots, stripes, houses, leaves, trees, lovely handmade items etc. I really like all kind of creative stuff.

I love everything simple but still beautiful, rather than something very complicated and \"overdone\". Rather plain than too fancy. I would describe my style simple, scandinavian and quite practical :)!

I don\'t like strongly scented things (give me a headache!), glitter, golden things, religious stuff, funny/girly things, the color purple. I don\'t drink coffee and I don\'t wear jewellery.

For all my swap partners... I\'d really love to read a little bit about you too, besides receiving a nice swap, so please include at least a small note to go with the swap. Thanks!!!

Here\'s a link to my likes and dislikes. Check also my photos and my favorites, they tell you a lot about me...

Finnish rock and pop music, Anastacia, Alison Morrisette, Elton John, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston and lots of others... I like to listen to the radio because they play lots of different kinds of music and you always hear the new songs there.

Forrest Gump, Fried Green Tomatoes, Bridges of the Madison County, Pretty Woman and so on... there are so many good ones!

Dont\' watch much of tv at the moment but my favorites are... ER, LOST, Sex in the City and Bad Girls.

I enjoy making all kinds of handmade paper things like cards, collages, ATCs, Inchies, paper quilting, decorative paper lamps and paper mache things. I also like sewing, felting, crocheting, embroidery and I also enjoy experiencing new techniques. I would love to know how to paint well... but I still need a lot of practice in that area, and more time too.

My favorite colors are red (not pink), white, blue, grey and black. I also like dark brown (especially with turquoise), olive green and teal. I enjoy nice colors and lovely patterns. Fluorescent or neon colors aren\'t my thing!
