I love every type of arts and crafts, poetry, music, books, animals, nature and life.

My boyfriend, our huge dog, sneaky cat and me recently moved into a small house surrounded by nature and are awaiting our first baby in December. So life is very exciting right now.

Due to many changes in the last couple months I rarely did anything creative but I feel like something is missing, so I am looking forward to many fun swaps and colorful envelopes in my mailbox.

I feel attracted to many kinds of music, but I'm especially into instrumental music of all kinds, calming and soothing meditation sounds.

I do not like any types of hardcore (may it be metal or rock).

I love, love, love books. There was I time I would not leave the house without a book and headphones. Lately I didn't have much time to read and have a hard time relaxing while doing so.

I love books like Harry Potter, Momo or 13 Treasures, but also love the old writings of Goethe, Schiller and Rilke.

What I don't like are horror, psycho or any genre like that. Same applies to movies btw.

I guess I like all kind of arts and crafts because I like everything that is handmade and colorful. I mainly paint in wantercolor or gouache and love doing abstract styles as I lack the nerves for doing something very deteailed and concrete. I will also appreciate everything handmade and made with love. There is nothing more beautiful in the world.

I learned the hard way that life is too precious to waste a minute of it for negative thoughts and materialism. I appreciate the little things in life, I know how to be grateful for what I have and can't find an emotional value in pricey things.

When my boyfriend and I met in person for the first time, we were talking about things like that. He picked up a stone from the ground and gave it to me as a present. On my birthday he made that stone into a necklace which I never took off since then.

... pretty much anything I guess. But I especially love

• stickers (all kinds, especially kawaii ones)
• cute stationary (pens, paper, ...)
• beautiful paper scraps
• handmade envelopes
• swap-tags
• embellishments (tags, brads, ... whatever u can think of)
• die cuts (hard to get here)
• coloring pages
• stamped images
• washi tape
• stamps
• postcards (animals, nature, plants, ...)
• buttons, scrap fabric
• teas
• sweets and candy
• nicely decorated envelopes

I had another profile by the name littleaquila (changed to aliceisdeadnow) here. After more than two years of inactivity I deleted this profile and did the same to several social media profiles. It just felt like they were no longer part of who I am today. Alice may be dead, but Wonderland is real anyway. Concerning my swap profile...I guess I had one unfinished swap back then. And I did not think about the consequences of deleting that profile. So if you want to drop me from a swap or a group, I can understand that and I am fine with that. Just wanted you to know that. Edit: Contacted Admins for merging my profiles.
