I am an American living in Italy. I’m not settled enough yet to venture out and figure out the Italian Post Office yet so I’ll be using my USA APO for now. If you would like my Italian address for an international swap, please message me!
I’m excited to swap again after a long break during the move. I moved from Poland where I lived for 2 years and miss it dearly. I previously lived in Germany for 3 years. I’m really enjoying European and international swaps.
I ❤️ making Junk Journals, art journals, collecting ephemera. I prefer true, actual junk and tend to shy away from store bought/pretty/cute procured “junk” that is masked as old junk. I also enjoy painting on canvas and thick paper.
Sewing, paper crafts and scrapbooking.
I like to DIY just about everything.
I like making my own stickers.
I use a Silhouette Cameo for many of my crafts.
Instagram is my go-to for social media (profile name : sarah.swaps)
WEIRD art or ads
Greens, cool tones and jewel tones, grays
Retro, vintage, stickers and ephemera
Trees, flowers and birds -especially cardinals
Book pages in any foreign language
I like many colors but GREENS are my favorite
Most types of art (dislike cutesy, cartoony characters)
Elephants, octopuses
Fabrics, ribbons, lace, washi tape, patterned paper napkins
I appreciate a well placed swear word and sarcastic humor.
Retro prints and patterns
Matching funky colors together
Traveling in Europe
Listening to podcasts and music. Pink Floyd is my favorite band. I enjoy 70/80/90s Rock (Fleetwood Mac, U2, ABBA, Lynyrd Skynyrd)
—I’d love to hear your podcast recommendations—
I'm 40, a wife and mom of 3 ( girl and boys). I am feeling settled in with our Italian house and I have a craft room again! I enjoy cooking and trying new recipes. I get a kick out of planning and traveling around Europe since we’ve lived here since 2017. I don't care for the vanilla scent. I’m Christian and don’t mind other religious items. I enjoy learning about and have an appreciation for other cultures and beliefs.
I really enjoy and appreciate handmade items. Even if it’s not my style, if I see that you put your twist and creativity into it, I will like it. No need to stress about meeting my profile likes. You do you, and share it with me. 😁
most documentaries, craft shows, Public Television, BBC/PBS Masterpiece, True crime. Enjoyed Schitt’$ Creek and Big Little Lies. Currently watching Sanditon
If you are the type to include extras or if we’re in a swap that is profile based… I’m easy to please with wallpaper samples (folded is ok), handmade/textured/printed/specialty papers, art clippings, original art, weird/odd ephemera, fussy cuts, paper clusters… basically all of the junk journal things
