Tuutis

I'm a mail hobby enthusiast :)

I enjoy the physical feel and look of papers, postage stamps, mail art, seeing other persons handwriting, art, different styles, and in general sending and receiving mail

I read nearly anything that is written nicely and clearly. Not a big fan of horror books any more, though.

I am always looking for new authors whose books to read.

I normally don´t like novels where the story jumps back and forward in the time as I have really hard time following it then :D.

Here again I like movies based on real life, true stories, but also enjoy comedies. I don't watch much films, as I loose interest very quickly, if there's something boring.

I only watch television while doing something else, so it must be easy watching or very interesting documentaries.

Almost every time I watch TV, I knit something, it helps me to focus on the program.

Knitting, rubber stamping, card making, sewing and some crocheting and lino cutting.

• skulls, bones, skeletons -themed things
• sticky notes (as these often doesn't even stick :D)
• grapefruit
• cosmetic face masks
• teacher's stickers (saying "good job" etc.) or very childlish stickers
• cherries in chocolate
• very seasonal die cuts, like Easter, Halloween etc. (Christmas in small amounts is fine :))
• I must eat gluten free as I'm celiac, so everything meant for eating needs to be in their wrapper that tells what it includes

• turquoise
• greyish blue
• also pastels, soft vintage colours
• yellows, greens
• but in your craft to me, please feel free to use what colours you like to use
• and I think all colours have some tone of it, that I like!

Please note that the mail from Finland takes normally around one week, but sometimes up to two or even four weeks to travel internationally.

I click the "sent" button when I already sent my swap and don't have it in my hands anymore. So the date does not always match (and is often one day later than the actual sending date).

I am easily pleased :) I don't expect the swaps be directly from my likes only as I am interested in seeing what others like to do and what colours they use and how, a s o. There are so many things I like, but don't know it yet. The list is not to restrict your creativity! And I hope it won't make sending the swap hard, I mean it to help.

Please, don't think you should send extras to earn a heart. I rate the swap itself, and if I think it's worth a heart, it will get a heart.

If any problems, questions or that kind, please message me :)
