Charis

Heya! My name is Charis. I'm an art student at the academy of art and chose fashion. I live in Rotterdam because of my study.

I won't make a music and movie text because I like action movies or art house movies, no drama. So... I don't need a whole section to explain that :P Music is something else, I like the music no one heard of, with Emilie Autumn as the most famous example of them all. This will give me some space to write along.

ATM I'm working on one massive profile of death. I keep running into things I need to update here, I keep updating and updating. Why not do it right the first time? Behold: My first attempt! :)

I don't have kids (only 18 years old) but I do have a roommate who happens to be my ex. Long story. Anyway, we're close friends now and he watches me swap. If you'd like to keep him in mind while swapping, this would be his likes: anything rum: think of chocolate + rum. He also likes classical music (except for Bach) but he almost has everything already :S

I don't have pets, I used to have at my parents house, a cream chow chow -Jatti- and a labrador retriever -Daisy- also a squirrel and chickens and a bird and some other weird birds... almost a farm XP

I don't drink, I don't smoke.

The following list can be interpreted very artisticly. Example: macarons, you can also make an atc about it, postcard, make it abstract, everything that makes you think of it in a matchbox, etc.

Here it comes: kawaii sushi or lama jewelery / macarons / hello kitty / kawaii lettersets / kawaii sticker flakes / kawaii sticker sheets / cupcake papers / deco den items / envelopes in different colours / make-up or shampoo or perfume samples / Lush products* / Mac products / ATC / matchbox / deco tape / Lime crime make-up / posca pens / erasers / anything cupcake-ish / fimo clay / sculpey clay** / glass beads / candy beads / luck bringers*** / lettersealwax / cogs / daycream / false lashes / earrings / rings / amigurumi / how-to... / sunglasses / more bubble envies / rhine stones / sketchbook / acrylic powder for nails / facemask / lens case / kawaii hairpins / mini products**** / cleanser / emphemera / tea / scented candles / bento / artwork / nijntje / miffy / gothi related stuff / emilie the strange / glitters in a jar / glow in the dark paint / handmirror / pocket mirror / textile markers / textile glitter / punk patches / pocket warmer / kawaii plasters / kawaii stuff in generally actually...

for instance: * Toner tabs from lush, 1EU each ** We don't have sculpey in europe *** maneki neko (lucky cat), wish doll, dreamcatcher, (wiccan)spell **** mini chocolate bars, mini shower gel / mini lipbalm / mini soap / mini perfume

I'm not always in stock of everything, I'll update when that happens.

emphemera - deco tape - tea - dutch stuff - touristic postcards - candy - envelopes - Dutch labello - letter - ATC

How-to's: draw a face - Dutch lesson - wear a coloured contact - apply make-up - sew a panda cap

I'd also like to angel with one of the above :) Please contact me if you'd like that. It would be easy if you live in the EU, then shipping will be a little less expensive ^^

For the people who don't have a lush around: I'd love to swap with an item which I can't get here. Maybe there's a Dutch type of cookie / candy you heard of but were never able to try it out.

If there is something you're not completely sure about or if you'd like something I might have, please message me. I'm up for a challenge.

To every swapper who is going to receive from me: 1. I will always check my mail. Daily! 2. I'm active on swapbot when a swap is going on every day. 3. I send in big bubble envelopes + ziplocks 4. I'm never late sending 5. I will include a note, even when it's not neccessairy. 6. I will always rate 7. I will always PM you before rating a 3 or one 8. I will always report a flaker 9. I won't send used or broken items 10. I always check my plans for the week before joining a new swap.

I hope to host my own swap as soon as I get out of the newbie status. It will be a european swap with a rainbow theme or something alike. Why european? blablabla shipping cost, etc. Actually because ATM there are almost no European swaps, and the ones who are, won't allow newbies :( I also see a lot of great swaps... for USA only :( I might also do some international swaps for just flat rate mail. ^^ I like to receive letters and drawings... Maybe that's a good idea: a letter but then without words, only drawings.

Those are just some raw ideas.

I don't want to call this the: "I hate" list. Negative feel to it which I don't like. I tend to have some things from other peoples dislikes which I think is not that bad.

• liqorice, the sweet version is ok, but salt or hard ones X(

• teacher reward stickers or christmas themed stuff. I'm not that into it.

• I'm not a huge fan of disney or diddl

• make-up from brands who test on animals! Which is almost every brand except mac or manic panic, lime crime, etc.

• Dutch stuff, I probably got that as well ;)

I think this will do! I'm ok with almost everything crafty. I almost like every style. If you happen to send any of these I won't blame you. I also won't rate a 3 for what I don't like. I can't believe people do that.

I will try to keep your profile in mind. It's just that when it's senders choice, I most of the time already started putting a package togheter. Sometimes I can't believe people don't like certain thinks I like. I once met some one who hated chocolate :O I NEVER TALKED TO HER EVER AGAIN! No, I'm kidding :P but it was weird, to me then.

I already stated above that I'm alergic to chlorine, but that shouldn't be a problem in almost any swap, except the chlorine swaps maybe... :P

There are also some subjects I dislike in general. Like: politics. I appreciate it that it's there but I can't seem to find my interest in it. Also sports, it was HORRIBLE when I was in school. Not the teachers, but all the people who wanted you to be better. The guys who thought terrorizing with... ok ok, I guess you can see that I don't like it ^^''

Just one last thing I do not like >.< (the last one, I promise) SPIDERS! EEK! The way they crawl X( Don't you ever dare to trick me with it. I still need to rate you, remember?

Heya Please read: I've received some swaps back because the postage went wrong, again >.< I'm so sorry! I'll resend this week!
