**** 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 :(
I prefer things I can USE. I don't want to collect anything.

PLEASE, DO NOT POST ANY FLASHING OBJECTS ON MY PROFILE WALL!!!
...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****
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 :)
...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.
I am still waiting a swap from @stephania27 (deadline December 1, 2018)
I am still waiting to be rated by @Sunnylightmode @rimbar

WOW! What a letter! I got it on my birthday, yesterday. Just finished reading it @ 0442hours and it was so enjoyable. Best swapbot letter EVAH! Will most def be writing you back! Thanks so much😊☕
Awwww thank you @bstrong It's the essence of swapping, bring smiles on fellow swappers' faces <3
Thank you very much for the angel swap. I seriously can’t emphasize enough how much I loved everything, especially your letter. You put a big smile on my face.
I am so happy you liked everything! Yes, isn't that Lehman's catalog just the coolest? So many cool things that aren't sold in stores anymore :-D Glad you enjoyed everything! -Simone

@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!
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! ;)
i am so glad you liked it! i was getting worried that it had not arrived. :)
@ cinandrews04 Cindy- your package arrived today! You are the best swapper ever!!! (no offense to all of you awesome swappers, but you really should have seen this package!!!) I absolutely adore everything!!! <3 THANK YOU!!!
