Hi! Iām Alice. Iām a French accountant living in Madrid (Spain) with my husband. In the āoutside work hoursā I love to craft, bake (give me any cake recipe and Iāll want to try to do it!), hike, travel, take pictures, send postcardsā¦ Iād love to have a campervan to travel even more, take even more pictures and send even more postcardsā¦
Iām bilingual in French and Spanish, and I have a good level of English (there is always room for improvement when itās not your mother language).
I donāt like (at all) to speak about myself online but I could write pages and pages on papers, I love snail mails, happy mails, pen palsā¦ anything that can enter in my mailbox is welcome. Thereās no better felling than the hope when you open your mailbox and the happiness when you see it full of friendās letters.
I love anything related to paper: stationery, different papers, washi tapes, stickers, cards, stamps, envelopesā¦ I can spend hours in conventional stationery shops or in online shops selecting what to buy (because I canāt buy all the shopā¦unfortunately!)
Iām not really good at designing and drawing but I really admire the persons that can draw or design their own stickers or stationary lines.
I donāt have any favorite style, but I donāt really like Disney, PokĆ©mon, Harry Potterā¦ or any specific character-based details. Iām more into natural, seasonal, travel or general topics.
Iām a big recycler of any paper related stuffā¦ I do keep tons of āthingsā that may be reused in future projects even if I donāt know how at the time I keep it. Iām also a āre-gifterā: I can reuse something received in a swap to swap it with someone elseā¦ my idea is that if I canāt use it maybe someone else can use it better than me!
Iām also doing a bit of polymer clay and macrame when I find the time.
Iād only enter in a swap if I have time to do it and if I know Iāll be able to do it on time. Iād be happy to replace or resend any swap that was not received at first or lost (our post service is magical but even magic sometimes fail). So please just contact me if you have not received yours before rating. I always try to do my best and to send something I like, not by obligation. Feedbacks are welcome so I can improve my āswap skillsā.
I do prefer handmade cards (to send and to receive) ā¦ except if it is a postcard swap or if requested in the swap.
Iām a tea/infusion addictā¦ I could be drinking āhot waterā all day longā¦ vanilla is my favourite flavour but I like nearly* all of them! *The "nearly" is because I'm not a big fan of spiced tea (the typical Christmas one) so if I receive one I may pass it over... Or try it, depending on my mood this day ;)
My post service is slow so I wait at least 2 months before contacting my partner if I haven't received anything. I always assume that you've sent it and I won't rate 1 before checking with you.
I never fail a swap and if you contact me I'm happy to resend any swap that get lost in the mail.
Please, if possible, do not use bubble envelopes or hard card ones. I'd usually need to pay an extra fee for this kind of mail as it is considered package and they add border fees to them (even if you did the declaration at origine). I won't reject the mail coming with fee and I'll pay it... But if we can avoid it, it's better ;)
Update October 2024!! I have a new Po Box. Post service is getting slower where I live so be patient with my outgoing and also rating. I now took a PO box hopping it'll speed up the incoming process... Fingers crossed!
