I´m a woman at the age of fifty-four with two children; a daughter (26)and a son (23). I work as a comprehensive school teacher and especially love teaching English, maths and litterature. I use Hungarian Varga-Nemenyi-method in teaching maths.
I put a lot of effort on my creations and never send anything trashy, so I hope you will do the same :)! I don´t tolerate any kind of flaking! If you don´t receive anything from me, contact me before rating, please!
If sending me ATCs/APCs, please, try to keep them the right size as I like to store them into pocket sleeves! So NO parts over the edges, please (at least not very much)!
I love reading and read many kinds of books. Fantasy is one of my favourites; Harry Potters, LOTR, Twilight-saga, True Blood, Vampire Diaries etc. Also books related to history like the ones from Diana Gabaldon fascinate me. Jane Austen, Joanne Harris, Kate Morton, Lucinda Riley and Cecilia Samartin are amongst my favourite authors too, just to name few. I´m not a fan of detective stories, but still like to read books by Agatha Christie, Alan Bradley and Jessica Fellowes, which have murders or other crimes, but no blood or violence and they have a sense of history and "good old times".
I try also to read books for young adults, mostly because of my work, but also as I want to.The Hunger Games-series by Suzanne Collins hooked me immediately. David Almond, Cornelia Funke, Eva Ibbotson, Neil Gaiman and Michael Ende are some of my favourites too, but there are so many good books and so little time to read them.
I like Tim Burton-movies. Fantasy-movies, romantic ones and historical films are my favourites too. And I’m Outlander-obsessed :D! Game of Thrones, The House of the Dragon, Lord of the Rings and Hobbit will get my full points too.
Especially ATCs, tags, inkboxcards, zines and decorated envelopes are my favourites. I make also altered playing cards (APCs) and journal pages. Recently I´ve found rolos and love to alter them. My rolocard size is 4" x 2,5/8". I´ve made some decos too and one altered book. They look great, but are really a lot of work and at the moment I don´t seem to have the time for them. Button fairies are cool too.
Rubber stamping, collage and mixed media are my favourite techniques. I can´t draw at all, so don´t expect anything drawn from me! I ALSO DON´T LIKE TO RECEIVE DRAWN THINGS, I´M SORRY. I´m usually very easy to please and I´m not picky, but drawn things just are not for me!
I have two art journals based on stamping, collage and mixed media techniques. The theme of my first journal is "Quotes". The page size of this journal is around 5 x 7 inches. Feel free to decorate one side or both, but if decorating both, leave some empty space on the edge, please, so I can tape the page into my book. The other journal is sized 4 x 4 and the theme is "Vintage", so everything with vintage photos, lace, ephemera, doilies, patterned paper etc. is welcomed! This is a journal with loose pages that I bind together with rings, so no thick layers to the left side, please, so I can punch the holes for the rings. And feel free to decorate both sides of the page, if you wish!
I love dogs and almost all animals. My favourite dog-breed is a German shepherd.
I enjoy travelling. I hope someday I´ll be rich enough to do that properly (LOL)! My favourite city is London. Australia and New Zealand, the USA and Canada are the destinations of my dreams. But what comes to travelling, anything goes. I´ve visited Spain once and I fell in love with that country. Now I´m learning Spanish :)! Other countries I´ve visited are Bulgaria, Turkey, Sweden, Estonia, Belgium, Egypt, Hungary, Greece twice (Rhodes and Crete) and Great-Britain twice (London and Edinburgh). Fell totally in love with Scotland last summer!
Swapping ATCs and other paper crafts is my hobby no.1 right now. I’m a bookcrosser. Reading is so much fun! I also try to exercise every now and then by cycling, nordic walking and kettlebell. I like baking. Trying new recipes is so much fun!

And I love the adorable postage you used, thank you. :)
MAW! Sept.
Thank you so much for the thoughtful envelope of goodies for my journals. I love everything and will use all of it!
We are having a lovely autumn with a fair amount of rain but some nice sunny days. This year has been a good year for the local mushrooms (great for my tummy, not great for my allergies). Soon we will have rain and wind storms so I am enjoying this calm time for now.
