About Me

Hi I'm Kim. I started here on September 25, 2010 and I love it. I'm also a postcrossing-addict (www.postcrossing.com) and BIG Etsy-fan.

I'm 37 and I'm a Kindergarten teacher, a creative journaler, a painter and I'm learning to work with clay.

Since april 2, 2011 I have my own art studio to give journaling, painting and ATC workshops in Weesp, a small town in the Netherlands. The Studio is in a BEAUTIFULL 150 year old fort.

I LOVE snailmail and recieving packages in the mail. English is not my native language - so if anything isn't clear - or if you just have a question - feel free to ask!

Some of the places I have travelled to: Paris (lots of times), Stockholm, Prague, Dublin, Canada (for a wedding, Orlando USA (for a wedding), Uganda (to visit a volunteer friend - WOW!).

I will ALLWAYS finish the swap I sign up for. If you don't receive a swap from me, please let me know before rating me, so I can do something about it. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

Favorite Music

I love most kinds of music, I'm a big fan of Lisa Loeb and other singer-songwriters.

Favorite Books

I read just about anything, but no mystery.

I love
Anne Tyler

I wasn't much of a fan of fantasy - well with one exeption - I LOVE David Eddings. But lately a friend of mine is lending me books in the genre - and I'm learning to like it.

Comment: Loved your little zine and all the extras and love the idea of including something with your swap that gets people to your website (I signed up;) and a free PDF giveaway. Seems to easy. What's your response rate? Just curious...I have a blog that I've had for years and I randomly post when I have something but I never thought about including swap partners to become part of my network:) Anywho, thanks for the great zine and love the little snail mail drawing on the envelope:) Take care.

Comment: Thank you Kim! I really loved your Envie! The face masks look beautiful and just the kind I love to use. All the teas sound wonderful and I can't wait to try them. And your poem and quotes - well, I wish I'd printed mine out now! They look so beautiful and I really love the texts. Definitely deserving of a heart =) EDIT : I don't know why the heart didn't work before..
Response: Glad you liked it :) I would love it if you would give me a heart (like you said :) )
