About Me

In the month of June I am very busy with school, so I will be hosting and joining fewer swaps than normal! I will be back :)

I live with my BF in a small apartment in the Netherlands. I own 4 cats and a dog. I love animals, cooking, baking, reading, blogging, crafting and getting mail. I follow a creative art education. I collect owls. Also member of Postcrossing and a dutch snail mail community for years! I am also writing to a USA prisoner, I would love to include unused USA stamps but of course I can't get these in the Netherlands.

I would love to trade candy, tea, bookmarks, stationery, postcards, Project Life and journaling cards and vegetarian recipes.

Favorite colors: Lighter shades of blue, violet, pastels, greens, yellow. Less fond of: Overly used pink, gray and browns.

I am open to private swaps, please drop me a line if you want to swap something.

Favorite Crafts

Okay finally a bit about crafts! I like being crafty, but I am not always that good at it. I do follow a artsy education, but that is more about doing art because anyone can, than the final results. That being said, here is the stuff that I like:

Likes to work with: Acrylics - watercolors - colored inks - soft pastels - oil pastels - colored pencils- clay.

Started with: ATC's and Smashbooking! So anything small and nice you have for a smashbook is welcome! :D

Wants to learn: ATC's - x-stitch - zentangle patterns - drawing accurate flowers, butterflies, birds, cats and fruit. Look at my creative board on Pinterest ;)

Wants to do more often: Work with clay - color in adult coloring books - mandala coloring - zendala -

Angels and Flakers

Such a sad day, when I have to add this part to my profile....

I got flaked by Tatiana24 for the Winter's Chocolate Swap. She is suspended. But it was an expensive swap to send out :(

Project Life

I started Project Life in 2014! It isn't too easy yet to get supplies in the Netherlands, so I welcome anything Project Life or journaling cards related! :D

Comment: After consulting with the host I have decided to rate you a three because while you marked the swap sent on June 3rd and it wasn't due until June 10th, the printed date on the postage label shows that you didn't actually mail it until June 13th. Which is three days past the due date and ten days past when you marked it sent, which is a pretty significant difference.

Comment: Hello Cynni! Thank you for the Chocolate postcard for the swap, the little chocolate eggs I didn't see for sale at my local store either, only the larger foil covered eggs. This was a fun swap for me as I love chocolate & have a stash of postcards showing views of yummy chocolates. Chocolate isn't just for Christmas, St. Valentine's Day, Easter ... hooray!

KristinCali on Oct 10, 2013:

Hi there! A while ago I messaged you about this tag swap and you didn't have mine yet. I think they should have reached you by now, so today I made you new tags and I'm resending them! Just to let you know. xoxo

I think I found the brand of that card with the bird: it is probably Cavallini papers & co www.cavallini.com
