Currently inactive, but can't wait to get back!

Dear partner, please before rating me poorly, message me and I will sort it out. Thank you. I always send my swaps on time, but post service is snaily slow.

It normally takes longer to reach Russia, especially from overseas. Please be patient with it. I am :)

If you will have any problems to get rated for the swaps I host (non-rating, unreasonably late rating, unfair rating, etc), please contact me! Contact me if you have any issues with my swaps though :)

Hello! My name is Tanya.

I love making envelopes. Basically I send my mail in handmade envelopes. But sometimes it is better to send in a standart purchased envelope though. Besides, I happen to ship items in used (secondhand) envelopes. I reuse everything I can! As they say, keep calm and reuse, reduce, recycle!:D

I collect souvenirs, Punch studio goodies, stickers, stationery... I would appreciate if you put nice postage stamps on the envelope instead of a label. Especially I'm fond of Christmas stamps. Those are the prettiest!:)

I love snail mail. Like most of us, I have been swapping and penpalling for a very long time. Factually, for 11 years. So I take swaps here very seriously, not as a joke. I send my swaps always on time. If life will happen, I will contact my partners.

I'm easy to please and I don't mind surprises!:) I have a wishlist, so you can have an idea what I might like.

• books in English needed so bad! (in any conditions). I already have The Scarlet Letter, Pride and Prejudice, Tom Sawyer, Moveable Feast, A Tale of Two Cities, Harry Potter 1, Jane Eyre. I'm desperately looking for The house of the seven gables.

• New York Times, Washington post, the Guardian, etc (clean second-hand is fine)

what I pledged

Generally packages travel 2 weeks to 2 months worldwide. The average term of delivery is 1 month. Seriously, 2 weeks... it's not enough to arouse concern.

As the rules say, it is good etiquette to contact your sending partner before rating them poorly. If you didn't receive the swap from me in reasonable amount of time, please contact me. We will find a solution.

I always send my packages before their deadline. But if anything, I will contact the coordinator and the partners.

I will rate you as soon as I've got your package instantly. If I didn't rate, then I didn't receive the package yet. Be patient, it can take longer to reach Russia.
