About Me

My name is Barbara. I am 34 years old and I have three daughters. I live in Holland, but have lived in Australia and England for nearly ten years.

I am a primary school teachter and I work at an International School, where we teach a bi-lingual curriculum, half Dutch and half English.

I enjoy all sorts of papercraft. I love doing these swaps and get so excited when a nice envie falls through my mailbox!

I love France, and I would really like to go to Egypt one day. My favourite food is steak. Yum! That is really something you can wake me up for!

I like...

  • embellishments
  • the colours pink and purple
  • owls (cute ones)
  • vintage
  • Le petit prince (by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)
  • the brand Gorjuss!
  • kawaii
  • babouschkas (russian dolls)
  • kimmidolls!
  • lucky stars
  • snail mail
  • miniatures
  • altered matchboxes
  • lipbalms
  • anything Harry Potter

I dislike...

  • gardening
  • turkish delight
  • dogs
  • flakers
  • touristy postcards
  • green tea

Favorite Crafts

I enjoy all sorts of papercrafts, especially scrapbooking and Project life. I also like cake decorating.

What I would like in a swap...

I love it when someone puts some thought into their swaps and tries to send something with the recipients profile in their mind.

A bit of washi tape, or a doodle on the envelope adds just that little extra.

I love kawaii! If you have little notes or something and add that to my swap you're sure to receive a heart!

I also love embellishments.

On a few of my swaps from the US there were Harry Potter postage stamps. Although I do not collect stamps, I do like those!

If you happen to come across the brand "gorjuss", I would love anything of that!

Comment: Sorry for the rating, but I feel like you completely ignored my profile- half of the things you sent me was pink, and that's the only color I don't like (I wrote it in my profile) and the same with the keychain. And the rest of the stuff you sent me have nothing to do with me profile (except the chocolate). I was very disappointed.
Response: I am very sorry, but also upset that you feel this way, and gave me this rating. I sent you lipbalm, craft items, chocolate and flower items, which are all on your list of 'likes', and other than that you wrote 'anything you think I will like', so I really thought I put together a nice package for you!

Comment: Months waiting. Never received anything. If I ever receive a thing Id rate for 3. Sad swap.
Response: You have never sent me a message telling me you didn't reveive anything. I did send you a package with toy story stickers, kinder chocolate, and other profile items. "Months" waiting has been six weeks, and you say on your own profile that mail in brazil takes a long time... Very sad you rated me a one.
