Hi! My name is Sara and I am an italian girl who lived in France for 5 years. Now it's time to go back to Italy.
I am graduated in History - which is of course one of my biggest interests within literature (I love reading).
When I was younger I always enjoyed writing and recieving colourful letters and I have been lately introduced to the great world of swapping...which has pushed me to improve my crafty skills. I mostly work with paper.
About common swapping stuff, I like swapping stickers, tea (I drink hot tea even in august ;), candies and chocolate, stationary, letter pad kits or sheets and everyting related to Sweden, Christmas and snow/wintry time. I recently discovered to enjoy decorating matchboxes and I am not that bad I have to say!
I love swapping and I always give my best to put nice packages together, which means that of course I ALWAYS send. If I am a couple of days late in sending, I always PM my partner. PLEASE contact me if you don't recieve a package from me, I am always ready to prepare a new one and re-send it.
KAWAII stuff (my favorite carachters are Cinnamoroll, Mamegoma and My Melody). Where I live it's extremely hard to find kawaii stuff else than Hello Kitty, it was shocking to discover the huge quantity of kawaii carachters and stuff existing! I didn't imagine that! I don't like goth-dark kawaii stuff though, such as skulls or so.
CUTE STICKERS. I make a large use of stickers to decorate everything and for my paper creations (bookmarks, cards, letters, etc.). No stickers with animals if possible (I am not hard to please but I wouldn't use them that often).
TEA. I drink so much tea! I love discovering new tastes (expecially fruity ones), even if I get quickly addicted to a sort I really love. I expecially like fruity flavors. My favorite are strawberry, blackberry, peach, cherry, pineapple, lemon, pear, apple. I also like them with other flavors such as vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, etc. I am less keen on orange, tangerine, or hot spices flavored teas, but I like trying new stuff anyways. I do not like mint-flavored teas at all.
CANDIES, CHOCOLATE, JUNK FOOD from other places. Luckily I am a quite reasonable person! :) Here again, nothing mint-flavored (unless it's mint candies). And here I have to say that I try to boycot multinationals like Nestle and Coke. I am quite into fair-trade and ecology (and here you must be aware that I REUSE PACKAGING)
I love reading and I dream of becoming a writer since I was a little child and I used to read Roald Dahl's books dozens of times. Growing up, I just kept on reading and reading hundreds of books. I enjoy european literature in general, and some great american authors such as Raymond Carver. Some of my favourite authors ever are Stig Dagerman, Heinrich Böll, Alberto Moravia, Marguerite Yourcenair. Being a history-lover, I also read historical books and magazines. I am a fan of Harry Potter as well! :o)
To name bands and singers everyone has heard about, I am a huge fan of Radiohead, Depeche Mode, Muse, Peter Gabriel, Pearl Jam and Sigur Ròs. To name a swedish band I just LOVE but that is less known, well, it's Kent.
Some of my favourite movies ever: Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain, Titus, Festen, Birdy, Amadeus, The big Lebowski, The Blues Brothers, Four Rooms, The Royal Tenenbaums...
I always post when I recieve a tag in the sticky recieved threads in al the groups and I always PM or drop a profile comment to thank the sender. I'd be glad if you'd do the same if you expect something from me, just to reassure me about getting your package safely.

Thank you so much for the gourmet chocolates! I have a feeling they won't last very long around here! That was so sweet of you to be thinking of me right now. I was feeling kind of sad today and your package really lifted my spirits. It was so unexpected and really meant a lot to me. You are such a nice person and a wonderful swapper. Thank you so much!
Sara, grazie mille per il pacchetto per i WTAs!non c'è assolutamente nessun problema con "la roba dolce e cioccolatosa"..nel mio pancino c'è sempre spazio!il cioccolato al caramelo/mandorle/sale sembra delizioso..non vedo l'ora di provarlo!!

I am so glad that you enjoyed my letter and the candy. That was the first "tag" I did and it was fun! ~Stephenie
Thank you so much for the panna cotta dessert mix. It looks delicious! I might have to ask for some help with directions, but it's similar enough to Spanish that I can guess a lot. :-) THANK YOU!
