addy changed from 2015 year to Germany, my Timisoara addy is still validif sending very thick envelopes from outside the EU, if possible, please attach a customs declaration label and just X for gift, if possible please put no value or something like 1$ because we pay customs for goods that are not gifts. WITHOUT declaration,some mail returns,if it seems for the customs there are goods inside* .

Hi! My name is Julie, I'm 38 years old and many times I forget to update my age here. I've been about 13 years old when I started penpalling(and never stopped,just slowed down), and my pals slowly introduced me to more and more swaps. I started with low quality FBs and taped decos (and did also slams and labelbags and such) and now I only do HQ FBs and art-decos (sometimes taped too, I like to help move those on, but I don't have that much time for them too).

I love art! I´ve studied Fine arts in highschool, from drawing in pencil and charcoal to painting, modeling clay (this not that much though) and having fashion design as a speciality. But because of teachers in my home country and other facts, I studied something else at University and Master´s degree.

I love photography, drawing, painting, shopping for art supplies (all sorts), making decos and greeting cards, I love acrylics and newly discovered the depths of watercolors, did sometimes jewelery (I am still learning a lot and was gathering more and more supplies,I did not move with my supplies though,so I might pick up on that again sometime later in life). I have been in love with sewing for as long as I have been on Earth, but never had enough patience to sew something (clothes) with a ...pattern completly. I alter and fix stuff mostly, or do it from scratch on..me(clothes). And l love doing other random stuff, like little gift bags/pouches, I did make-up pouches, a stuffed dog for my dog...etc.

I love dancing, animals, lightnings and thunders, stars, music, travelling, horses, dogs,rabbits, hobbies, mail, reading books, shopping (art making and letter supplies, books, sometimes clothes), foreign languages,drinking tea and shopping for tea, tea mugs, candles, scented stuff, licorice everything (except hard candy),pumpkin pie, white hot chocolate,honey,etc. I´m a very open-minded person, and I love trying new things! but I don´t like dangerous stuff...like bungee jumping :P

If you wonder what I'm dancing the most, it is Argentinean tango. I love everything about tango :) I am a dedicated dancer though I have my times of breaks when...you know..life happens!

If you are waiting for a swap from me, please do not look on the flickr page, it might show up in there! I don't always scan my works, but I might have scanned yours, so if you want to keep it a surprise, please don't look!

If we're in a tea/profile swap- I love trying out new stuff, weird flavours, spicy stuff,pumpkin flavoured teas, seasonal teas (I drink Christmas tea even in summer for example...). Any kind of tea is fine:herbal,green,white,black,fruit,rooibos...

kids related stuff for as long as I do not have any...

am allergic to Hyacinthus orientalis (though I doubt you might be sending me something smelling like this specific flower). Luckily am not highly allergic to it, so don't worry! I will survive a clogged nose and possibly other small symptoms.

in tea swaps: please no tea where the main ingredient is lemongrass! thank you! (Tastes like soap to me)

will be adding more

If there is a swap that did not reach you,please message me!

If I will be sending late as an exception, I will message you, but otherwise I will always send on time, so I would like to know if there is something that did not reach you.

I will re-send any lost swap, so please send me a message before giving me a bad rating. Thank you!

Also, I always rate! if something is not rated, there must be a serious reason, please contact me! I might be away / on holidays/ not able to reach my postal box but I most surely will keep close to an internet connection....or your swap is lost. be patient anyway, it's ..snailmail...

And, very important, if you're going to be late, let me know. I do not look at the send date when rating (even my postoffice stamps the envelope later than when I put it in the box) - as the mail anyway takes a long time , unless it takes wayyy too much time (like..months?!). I prefer you being late (and I won't rate down) and telling me , than getting a sloppy swap.

p.s.: because I do care about my swaps and the swaps did have a certain time alloted to make them, I also do not usually finish re-making them in record time (like 1-2 days) as I do not want to send something sloppy. please be patient and allow me a bit of time. thank you!

I had a flaked list too, decided to start over.or re-add some other time.
