Hiya, my name is Alina, but I go by "Frowne" (pronounced "frown").
I am Russian girl born in Latvia, currently residing in California. I am fluent in English, Russian, Latvian and speak some Japanese.
I am a costume designer and a visual artist and I love cute and adorable things, as well as punk and dark things (depending on my mood).
Lately, I have been getting into Filofax (A5 size) decoration. I am trying to organize my life, and making it cuter and using it as an art journal makes me a happy camper. If you share my love for Filofax (or faux Filo or whatever organizer you use), let's be friends!
Another addition to my family is a Midori Traveler's Notebook. I have a brown one in the original size. Since I am just starting to set it up, I would love to swap for some inserts (the ones I'd love are listed down in my wishlist)
I love to making things. I love handmade things and I love getting new inspiration for things to make.
I love receiving packages as much as I enjoy sending them. There is nothing more exciting for me than to wake up to a package in my mailbox. I love letters as well, so if you would like to be penpals, let me know - I always reply to letters and enjoy reading them as well.
I love drawing, reading and watching things. Aside from costuming, I am also training in makeup artistry, so I am always looking for new products to try out.
My clothing size is XS/S, but please don't send me pants. It's so hard to find the right pair even if you have the right size. If you have any cute shirts or T-shirts or tops, I adore those.
I like decorating the envelopes I send and I always use some interesting stationary or at least something of that sort. If you would like to do the same, I would be oh, so happy ^_^
Whenever I go out, I like to pick up quite a few adorable things, so I always have plenty of things to send out, and I never stop getting more - it's a silly addiction of mine.
I have a blog, so feel free to follow me. If you want me to follow your blog as well, let me know - I would be glad to. Especially if we swapped ;D
I do swap internationally, but I prefer to swap with larger countries (US, Canada, UK, Japan). If you are somewhere else, do let me know and I will most likely make an exception. Do not be offended if I decline, though. It is really nothing against you, but post office makes things expensive and/or difficult to ship to some countries (I would know - just sending care packages back to my family in Latvia is such a gamble of whether they will get it) >.<
I am all about communication. If there is a problem with sending out a package to me, please let me know. I like keeping track of things and being on time, but I also understand that there are things that can be out of our control. Communication is the key - let me know if you need more time or something is up and we can hold the swap or see what other agreement we can come to.
If you have not received my package, please do let me know. If there is something wrong on my end, I would be more than glad to fix it. I am here to have fun, not to make things frustrating ~.~
The best way to contact me is through email "sporkofjustice[at]gmail[dot]com."
Please note in the subject that you are from [Swap Bot], otherwise it may go to spam ~.~
I reply to my emails within two days at most, so if you have not received a reply, it is most likely that I have not gotten your email. Please be so kind as to send it again ^^
I also have a blog, which you are welcome to follow http://frowne.com
I always read all the comments and reply to them, so if you feel like you would like to join me there, please do. I will follow you as well, if you have a blog :3
(From most desired to "meh - can wait")
Allergies: For makeup swaps, etc., please note that I have very sensitive skin and have learned the hard way that I am allergic to (some) products from the following brands. I'd appreciate it if you did not include those in the packages >.> - Almay, NYC, Wet'n'Wild, Neutrogena, Hard Candy, Iman, Jordana, Alba, ELF (eyes lips face), Lorac
I would prefer less things, but that are from my wishlist/profile, as opposed to tons of things I would not use. I would hate to throw out something you sent me...

Hi Alina, I hope your surgery had no complications and that you are on your way to a complete recovery. I have thought of you often and have kept you in my prayers. Good wishes, Joan.
Please let me know if you received my journal.
Thank you again for all the goodies in the Spa Swap. You have a good eye for color. Can you PM me your address? I would like to write back to you.
