Jan 2011: Due to several reasons I was forced to take a long break from swapping... I'll be trying to clear the ones I have on my rating-list. I hope 2011 will be an amazing creative year! :-)

I pledge to rate!

I am a photographer by birth, a designer by profession. I'm quite weird but in a good way, at least that's what my friends lovingly tell me.

If you detest smilies, don't communicate with me. I can't help it but I'm addicted to them. I find them quite helpful to give my words the necessary tone as English isn't my mother tongue and also because I do tend to communicate through facial expressions in daily life.

Most of my time gets consumed by my wonderful clever and oh-so-active little girl Sarah-Luna (8yo). She's the light of my life ^.^ She too loves her 3 Blythes and little petshops, Playmobil, lego,... She likes Barbie but not as much as her other toys. Beside those she loves drawing, painting, crafting, in short being creative...

My new love are dolls! Especially blythes but I've been drooling over some pullips, wonderfrogs and little apple dolls as well.

To warn everybody: I'm quite eclectic ^_^

Robbie Williams, Loreena Mc Kennit, Mika, St Germain, Frank Sinatra, Jamiroquai, Abba, Queen, Valensia, Hooverphonic, Moby, Enya, Within Temptation, Ligabue,...
