About Me

April 2017 Hi it's been a while! I'm back from my break feeling refreshed and ready to send some mail again. Look forward to seeing you in the mail, so to speak ;)

Spoiler Alert - I put pictures of what I am sending out on my Flickr and Instagram accounts so it's best to avoid those if we are in a swap together and you like surprises :)

A little about me. I'm married with 2 young children, Son born October 2011 and Daughter born Dec 2013. We also have a cat, sadly our other cat recently passed.

I'm a member of Postcrossing. I love written and stamped postcards and long chatty letters, I like talking to people with similar interests.

I love pretty stamps and I keep them all. If it's possible please use a commemorative/pictoral stamp ^_^

I've been using a bullet journal system for over a year now and I'm loving it. I use it for general to do lists but I also use it as a daily journal and take part in the #iggledailyjournal challenge which is great fun and very inspirational.

I hope to visit Japan one day and learn the language.

Postcards

I love my postcards to be written, nice and chatty, as the written side is just as important as the picture. Receiving postcards with just Happy Swapping written on them makes me a little sad.

If you are including a postcard as part of a swap, and it doesn't specify it to be blank, a written postcard would make my day :)

*Cards with Cherry Blossom
*Greetings From by Postal Love, written only please (I have Russia, Hong Kong, China, Ukraine, France, Finland, Aland Islands, Iceland, Canada, Norway and the Netherlands)
*Anime/Manga Cards
*Dr Who (No weeping angels please)/Sherlock/Supernatural Cards
*Lord of the Rings/Hobbit/Harry Potter Cards
*Jetoy
*Le Chats Enchantes

*Peter E Pracownik
*Inga Paltser
*Cards with images of nature especially forests, rivers and the Moon.
*Cards with pictures of wild animals, especially big cats and wolves.
*Cards with Owls, Ravens and Butterflies

Note - please do not send me touchnote cards or other third company cards, I do not like my address being given to these companies. Thank you

Favorite Crafts

I currently trying to learn mixed media techniques, I can't draw but I love messing around with paints. I also like making ATCs, envelopes/mail art, journaling and smashbooks. I occasionally make cards, usually for birthdays and christmas.

Food / Drink Likes

Hot Drinks
My favourite teas are black teas, flavoured or unflavoured.

I've recently discovered Chai tea, I especially like the pumpkin spice one and the ones with vanilla, caramel and carob flavours. I'm not so keen on the spicy chai flavours.

I would prefer not to receive Green Teas, Herbal Teas (like Chamomile) and Rooibos if possible. Thank you :)

Sweets
I like chocolate, all kinds.
I like soft chewy sweets, my favourite is Haribo.
I like coffee flavoured sweets.
I like chocolate liqueurs.

Please nothing religious, no erotic/nude, no images/pictures of bugs/insects, no images/pictures of caged or otherwise bad taste animals - animal lover here :)

I'm not really into Disney (Minnie Mouse/Tinkerbell etc).

No kawaii poo please.

No notebooks please, I have a fair collection and don't need anymore ;)

No cosmetics or scents I don't wear make up and I only buy stuff not tested on animals.

I don't like big floral prints, neon colours.

I'm not a fan of clowns, they're kinda creepy!

Comment: Thanks for all the cute stuff. Interestingly enough, I am one of the few people who like anime but not Studio Ghibli. I think I am weird like that, because I also really don't care for Disney. But everything was really cute, so don't take that as an insult.

Comment: I was home sick today and feeling pretty sorry for myself so it was a nice treat to get your pretty envelope! Thank you - I especially love the stickers that look like stamps. On the notecard you wrote that it was the first sunny day you had had in a while - well today is the first rainy day we have had down here in ages! We're all excited because we're going through a drought and any water is welcome!
Response: I hope you feel better soon! Glad my mail was there to brighten your day :D I love rain when I am indoors and don't have to go out in it - bliss! Thank you for the rating and heart x
