Kuuruusu

Hello everybody! :) ”Kuuruusu” is Finnish and it means ”Moon Rose”.

I’m a married woman from Finland, in my forties, and I love this Swap Bot so much!

I enjoy making some ATC’s and sometimes other hobby crafts as well. I have a habit of collecting various little things. :D

My most favorite things are nature and animals. Fantasy, ancient times, myths and folklore too.

I love many colors, especially if their tone is warm and/or earth.

I’m looking forward to join swaps which include postcards, ATC’s, tea bags, maybe some paper crafting supplies, profile based gifts... We’ll see. :)

Penpalling is not my cup of tea, I’m bad at writing letters - on regular bases at least. :D

DUFEX METAL FOIL POSTCARDS.

ART, PATTERNS, DESIGNS, IMAGES...

I make ATC’s, so even small pieces of colorful/patterned papers or cardboards are fine. Same goes for fabric also!

• Small beads and pendants
• Ribbons
• Stickers
• Die-Cuts
• Decorative tapes
• Small paper flowers
• and many other things, which are usable for making and decorating cards, scrap booking etc. Even some pieces of broken jewellery, like small pendants, pieces of chains, a pairless small earring etc. are welcome.
• My favorite pictures, styles and themes are listed above in ”Postcard, stickers etc.”

I also like some...

• Stationary, and why not some memo papers too, especially with those pictures or themes I have listed above in ”Postcards, stickers etc.”

• Some beads made of glass. All colors, shapes and sizes. Ceramic ones are fine too, and beads made from stone, sure. Can be few and random, I’m not making jewellery out of them, but something else in similar technique.

• Tea bags are nice too. Individually wrapped/packed tea bags. I like all kinds of tea, and I’m always ready to try something different.
