MANY SWAPS SEEM TO DISAPPEAR IN THE MAIL LATELY. SEVERAL SWAPS SENT BY ME NEVER ARRIVED AND SEVERAL SWAPS SENT TO ME NEVER ARRIVED. I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE! BUT THAT'S WHY I'M GOING TO STOP SWAPPING FOR A WHILE. I DON'T WANT TO REMAKE EACH SWAP 2 OR 3 TIMES.

Science Fiction, especially Stargate and Star Trek. Further: Vampire movies, horror movies (not the slaughter movies, but mild horror), Harry Potter, Nightmare before Christmas, Junglebook (Disney), Hellboy 1 and 2, Pan's Labyrinth, all Tim Burton movies.

Jewelrymaking, papercrafts, cross-stitching, sewing clothes for myself, actually I have tried many crafts and I like all of them. I recently started with ATCs and I love to do that. So now I went to the inchies, even smaller objects of art. I love making glassbeads, but I don't have the room in my house to make a safe workingspace.

I am a 54 year old woman. I am married already 28 years with the same man and still in love with him. We don't have children, by choice. We have had cats in the past. I have worked since I was 16 years old and nowadays I work on a post office, which is easy when I have to send my swaps. I live in a house with a small garden with several bird feeders. I am a diabetic, so no sugarry things for me. I live on the Atkins diet for many years now and this is the right diet for me. My favorite hobby is reading. After that comes crafting, movies and television. And after that internet and postcard swapping.

Fantasy Books, especially Darren Shan, JRR Tolkien and Terry Brooks. Further the Egyptian books of Wilbur Smith, all books with King Arthur and/or Merlin and similar books, Vampire books: favorite are Anne Rice books, the Eragon books, Fairy Tale books, the Artemis Fowl books, Harry Potter, the Moomin books of Tove Jansson, the Twilight Saga.

I would like to receive postcards from characters from comics (or comic books). I especially like the Moomin characters and cards from Kaj Stenvall. Further I like postcards with a 'fantasy' theme like fairy tales and other fantasy. I very much like postcards with illustrations from childrens books. I will also be happy with postcards from wildlife of your country, especially birds. And I allways like beautiful Christmas postcards, even when it's in the summer. 3D Postcards, aka lenticular postcards. But the most I love glittery, sparkly postcards, the more sparkles the better.

Pastel colors and especially blue pastels and yellow pastels, further I love all glittery, sparkly things.

Flowers, garden birds (I have 5 bird feeders in my tiny garden) ring-tailed lemurs, natural soaps (Lush), patchouli and other Indian fragrances, the smell of lemons and limes, lemonade (artificial sweetened, I'm a diabetic), fairies and Fairy Tales, gnomes, whitches, wizards, elves, sparkles and glitter, crystals and crystal beads, Marimekko blouses and shirts, Moomin, Johnny Depp, Nightmare before Christmas stuff, pens especially quality ones, stickers, bookmarks (I try to put a matching bookmark in every book I'm reading), Classic Pooh, Classic Piglet, handmade lampwork beads, silver, Vampire related stuff, Christmas, Easter, Halloween, nature, cats, meercats, owls, birds of prey, friendly people, Vogue Picture Records, stamps with cartoon characters, artificially sweetened chocolate and sweets, coffee (the stronger the better), barbeque, French cheeses, clip-art software, hedgehogs, squirrels, pigs, low-carb foods, Snoopy and Woodstock, Pine-tree scented shower-gel, soap and bodymilk, Ginger scented shower-gel, soap and bodymilk, lingerie from Dutch designer Marlies Dekkers, white lilys, lily of the valley, honeysuckle, the Moon and the Stars.

Make up, Perfumes, wooden beads, beads of bone, gold, dogs, tea, alcohol, tobacco and tobacco smoke, food with Carbohydrates (actually I'm a carbohydrate addict, I adore sugarry things, but I can't have them :o( ) vanilla scented stuff.

I really don't like laminated bookmarks. If you're my swap partner for a handmade bookmark swap, please don't laminate the bookmark!!!! Thanks!
