About Me

Hello! Hallo! Hoi! Hey! Hej!

My name is Ciska and together with my partner and our son I live in the Netherlands, close to the Belgium and German border. I love life. Even more since our son was born in the beginning of 2017. He brings so much joy and happiness into our home. We love to grow our own vegetables and create a garden full of wild life. It is much busier now, so let's see how our garden develops this year.

In my me-time I love to play with paper and to send and receive happy mail and Mail art. Finding a decorated envelope in my mailbox always makes my day 💌.

I love...

  • color, paper, nice designs and patterns, note cards, washi tape, stickers, rubber stamps, address labels, handmade envelopes and inspiring quotes.

  • flowers, animals, houses, bikes, teapots and cups, retro, stars, love, sun, and most of all simplicity.

  • herbal and green tea

  • foreign languages, please add a sentence in your language. Thanks!

  • to get to know you. Where are you from? What keeps you busy? Things that are typical for where you live. ...

Swapbot is for me a way to connect to like minded people, to share art and to get inspired.

I will rate you a five ❤️ when swap requirements are met. Finding a decorated envelope in my mailbox makes me happy. I love to receive a note with a swap. Please do not send extras that increase your shippings costs. It is the swap that matters, not the extras. Happy swapping!

Creativity & Inspiration

There are so many ways to be creative and to get inspired. I love it all. Here on Swapbot I like to play with paper. Handmade postcards, handmade envelopes, drawing, stamping, flipbooks, etc.

Would you like to share your paper passion and inspire me in a private swap, please PM me.

Comment: Thank you so very much for a fabulous swap! I love everything (strawberry-envelopes), but I am thrilled about the [email protected] stickers. I cannot see me parting with them :) :) Thanks for joining my swap! I like small theme-swaps. If you have a wish-theme for a similar swap, then just send me a PM. If I find something in your theme, I will host a swap in the group then!
Response: Making this swap was soooo much fun. I love these small theme swaps as well. And Strawberries are so yummie 😋. Have a lovely August 💕

Comment: Thank you so much for your fabulous MailArt and your very international note :) I just love everything! Years ago when we traveled to Vlissingen, I have seen Flow in the store (now you get it worldwide). Of course I bought it, but did not unterstand that much. But what an inspiration! That was my goal: to read this magazine :) Years later I am reading - very slowly though - Harry Potter en de Vuurbeker :) Have a lovely May!
Response: Thank you for your rating ❤️. I am glad you like all of what I’ve sent you. So cool that you are reading Harry Potter en de Vuurbeker in Dutch. I read my last German book for German classes at high school...long long time ago. Have a lovely May 💕

Comment: Thanks for these wonderful Flow Paper envies! I am starting with tomatoes and already have blossoms on my strawberry plans out in the greenhouse! We have been seeing lots of deer in the village just lately, after not seeing any all winter. We will be moving out to our spring, summer, fall house, shortly...delayed due to weather and having to replace the running line to moor our boat. Hope all is well with you! Hugs from Alaska, Sherry
Response: You’re welcome. Have a wonderful May. 💕

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I forgot to add this. The paper with the John Lennon quote you wrote your note on really inspiring. I’ve read it several times and you know, he’s right. Everything will be ok in the end If its’s not ok It’s not the end.... I tacked it up on the wall in front of my desk so every time I sit down I will see it and remind myself....Everything will be ok. Hugs! 💜

Thank you so much for the beautiful papers! Your sweet note with condolences was very touching, and yes I understood what you were saying. 💜 Again thank you for great Sept RAK Attack package!

Hello, sweet lady. Thank you again for thinking of me and for the lovely Alice envelopes you sent me for my October (MAW) wish list. I hope your new job is continuing to go well and that you have a delightful visit with your family next weekend and a very happy birthday. ♥

phillaine on Oct 4, 2019:


for the awesome variety of botanical treats you sent me for my September (MAW) wish list! So many pretty things I look forward to using right away. I enjoyed your letter (about your son at the zoo). We do tend to forget how impressive things are, and it was nice to have the reminder. Thanks again for your kindness and generosity. ♥

Thank you so much for a fabulous envelope with all these great papers. I loove the bearded men and sticked them on my mood board :) I am already collecting the papers for my next years journal. 2020 will be black/white and of course a little bit of yellow:)

Have a brilliant day :)
