01/02/2023 Slowly I want to start swapping again here on swapbot. Last year has been pretty busy. We had to do some renovations, my son moved out, his room is now my craft room. Happy me!

I promise to rate as soon your swap drops into my mailbox. I would like you to do the same. That’s how I know you received my swap. You are only a few clicks away from giving a rating😉

I will do my best to send my swaps on time. If not I will contact you.

I stopped going after ratings, it takes to much of my energy. But if you didn’t receive my swap by accident, please let me know before rating me down so I can figure something out to make it up to you.

So lets have some fun swapping💌

Hello there,You can call me Inge.

I live in Belgium near the city of Antwerp, together with my husband, son and a crazy cat. (My son moved out and the cat died…)

I live in the dutch-speaking part of Belgium.

I've been writing letters for a few years now and it's so much fun to decorate them and send little presents. I like to create collages with old pictures, magazines,... And it must be great to make things for people you don't know from places you've never heard about....

When I'm not swapping I love to go out for a walk in nature, do some cycling in summer, love to travel, go to concerts, visite a museum, dance,...

I loveJazz from the '40 and '50.

Soul&Funk

Bowie.

Nick Cave.

Patti Smith

I’ve been to a concert of Iggy Pop last summer (2022), felt18 again!

All kinds of music.

It depends a lot on my mood of the moment, sometimes I just want to dance, sometimes I need my music to relax, sometimes I just need to sing out loud...

Swapbot is a lovely way to stimulate me to be creative. I've made my first ATCs (stopped making them, not really my thing), did some painting, doodling.

Totally in to making handmade postcards and decorated envelopes lately.

Always looking for something new to discover, inkboxcard(3’x3’cards) is something new I like to make.

Since the beginning of 2024 Istarded making pottery on a wheel. It’s a learning procces and it takes a lot of my time lately

I'm a great fan of vintage/ retro things from the 40' till the 70'.

Pages from old magazines or newspaper

Newspaperpages from China, Japan, Korea, … ( other lettertypes)

Pop art

Street art.

Coffee, tea, latte, beer

Things handmade from things you find around the house, thriftstore. Just recycle it!!! If you put your heart in it then I will like it, that's how I make my swaps.

I like it when you send a little note in your swap telling a bit about yourself, what you like, how you've spend your day, why you made your swap like that, it doesn't have to be a long letter, just a little note. I like to know the person behind the swap a little. Extra paper goodies are welcome but not necessary. Hearts are given to your creativity and effort.
