About Me

**** UPDATE 10/20/2022 DUE TO A FAMILY EMERGENCY MY SWAPS THAT I HAVE ALREADY SIGNED UP TO (and the partners have already been assigned) WILL BE LATE. I HAVE CONTACTED MY PARTNERS **************************************************

I can't emphasize this enough: PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY FLASHING OBJECTS ON MY WALL, THEY MAY CAUSE ME SEIZURES

A big, friendly grin from the capital of Finland! I have also lived in the USA (Missouri), England and India.

Pet household - I try my best to prevent an occasional cat hair traveling with my swaps, but those seem to have a life of their own so sometimes they just decide to travel and I apologize for that.

My obsession #1 is traveling. 43 countries so far :) My obsession #2 is fall (autumn), I love anything fall related :) My favorite holiday is Halloween, especially anything pumpkin related :) Other than that, I love anything nature-related: hiking, camping, picking berries and mushroom, fishing...

My favorite place in the whole world is New York, I travel there a few times a year. Boston is a close second :)

My favorite colors are bright yellow, mustard, lime, grass green, red, terra, orange, brown, teal, turquoise, rainbow (yeah, I know rainbow is not a color, but I love rainbows :)

I was flaked on in a private swap by @hmscm - so, I didn't get a host star :(

P - pumpkins :) Pumpkin lanterns, pumpkin spice anything, pumpkin decorations, pumpkin anything :) ,peanut butter; pumpkin spice anything

Q - Quirky twist in everyday objects (for instance, I have a dish brush that looks like a 70's disco dancer - think anything that looks like it would be sold in a Pylones store)

R - rainbows; retro

S - Starbucks; Sakura; Swiss Miss pumpkin spice flavor, socks (Very colorful, funky or cartoon socks: EUR size 34-36 / U.S. + Canada size women's 5 / Japan size women's 21 / Australia size 3,5 / Britain size women's 2,5... / yeah, children's size...NO TOE SOCKS); scented candles

Things I don't like

  • blackcurrant, hibiscus, aloe vera
  • plain black tea
  • Hershey's chocolate
  • romantic books / chick-lit
  • gothic, gore, pagan, wiccan
  • skeletons
  • Mustaches
  • fridge magnets
  • TOES!
  • I don't appreciate male beauty, so nothing with men on them.
  • phone cards
  • postage stamps
  • junk and badly/hastily made items
  • colors: black, gray, neon colors
  • any drug-associated things
  • religious, homophobic or racist ephemera / propaganda
  • Lalaloopsy, Diddl, Dora the Explorer, Donald Duck

ALLERGIES + IMPORTANT !!!!!!!

Severe allergy !!!! KIWI FRUIT

PLEASE, DO NOT POST ANY FLASHING OBJECTS ON MY PROFILE WALL!!!

Finnish mail...

...doesn't go anywhere during the weekends. If I mark my swaps sent on a Saturday or a Sunday, or after 5 p.m. on a Friday, I have mailed them but the stamps aren't franked/cancelled and the mail isn't sent forward from the post office until the following Monday. This, at it's most unfortunate, may cause a false impression that I haven't sent my swaps in time :-( However, I try to drop everything to the post office during the week days. Also, there are some bank holidays in Finland, and on bank holidays the mail doesn't travel either.

****NOTE: Finland uses the DD.MM.YYYY date format, so a postal stamp marked 12.9. means it was sent on September 12th****

Reuse, recycle

I am a mad recycler, so I will reuse package material and use cardboard boxes which originally held something else often, unless the swap requires something fancy or specific. I hope this is not a problem :)

If you don't receive from me..

...please send me a private message before getting mad. The reason is not that I have not sent my swap, the reason must be problems in the mail chain.

Waiting for swaps and ratings

I am still waiting a swap from @stephania27 (deadline December 1, 2018)

I am still waiting to be rated by @Sunnylightmode @rimbar

Comment: Hi Asta! Thank you so much for your letter, card and Harry Potter stickers and cutout. I like the simple card you created as it clearly shows that you made good effort. I have never picked mushrooms and it sounds so fun! I don't believe in horoscopes either and I am a perfectionist in some way too. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me!
Response: I'm glad you liked the swap! Thank you for the heart!

@luna82 It was the most fun letter I've ever written!!! I loved how my thoughts were just flying with my pencil! I've always found her a very interesting person - and loved her art <3 I am very happy I managed to entertain you, but I bet it was even more fun for me! 😃 By the way, I visited Helsinki two days ago - and I just HAD to visit Karl Fazer's patisserie! I found it so exciting that I was sitting in the very same café as her -more than a hundred years apart!

Luna82 on Aug 30, 2014:

Yay for that! I could tell you were completely into the time. I looked up the painter and I love her! She was totally cute as well! ;)
