Hi, I'm Yulia, originally from Russia living in the US. I am a mom of two little boys and stepmom to two teenagers. I love ocean, nature walks, biking and spending time with my family. I hope one day to travel all those wonderful places around the world. I love photography and my dream is to get myself a DSLR. But my iphone and Instagram so far is my addiction;)) I'm a big time coffee fan. And as most of Russian people, I drink I lot of tea. Black, green, herbal, fruity. I'm pretty adventurous at that and will try anything. The only thing I don't like is licorice. I love everything paper. Stationery, scrapbook paper, notebooks, notepads, sticky notes, envies etc. I'm learning calligraphy and tangling.

I love scrapbooking and Project Life. Postcrossing is my new favorite addiction.
I am very passionate about written word and snail mail. It's very personal and tells you a lot about a sender. I do write letters to my friends and very much enjoy decorating envelopes with doodles, collages and washi tape. Love all the pretty wrapping.

I do watch a lot of movies. I'm easy to please. I don't like action movies lately. I did love Breaking Bad, Mad Men and House of Cards. I adore cartoon! My hubby laughs at me when I watch cartoons with my kids;))

I listen to different music mostly depending on my mood and activity Im doing. Like Adele, Pink, and song I can sing along. Alternative, rock, 30 seconds to Mars, Muse, some good instrumental, even classics and blues.

As I joined the wonderful world of postcrossing I'm collection

map cards

Flag postcards

Stamps

Superhero postcards

Illustration cards

Different little things from counties - metro cards, bus pass, whatever it is. It's always fun to look at it;)

I'm collecting cards with Rissian thematics. Maps, traditional pictures anything to show my sons about my native country.

Also I collect matryoshkas ( russian nesting dolls)

Hope this is all helpful to get to know me. Smile. Have a great day;)))
