About Me

Hello Crafty sisters! :D

I am a 52 years young female, owner & entrepreneur in Kids -Entertainment. Always creative, busy with my hands making something out of nothing or scrap.

Add a whiff of Romance, Shabby Chic, Vintage, Spirituality, Buddha, Offerings, Zen, FengShui etc etc ...and that's me! My inner child never grew up :) I still love vintage childrensbooks, fairytales and vintage illustrations.

Also I love Smashbooking... junkjournals...Mixed Media, Art Journaling and of course mail! I mean everything with snail-mail, vintage postage, postage stamps,REAL washi tape, Kraftbrown paper, Vintage Ephemera, oldletters or tickets ...vintage ,shabby chic designs, etc......

My latest addicition is Filofaxing ... decorating my planners with smashbook and projectlife stuff and treating it like in Art Journaling and I love collecting Postage stamps!

Stamps with - Japan, Geisha- Maiko and Japanese culture, - Old fashioned Fairytales (no modern Disney, but retro Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz Red Riding Hood ,Snowhite, Sleeping Beauty etc) - Movies (Esp Victorian Costume Drama like Gone with the Wind, Marie Antoinette and such) -Childrens Christmas

Postage Stamps (used or mint) - Childrens book illustrations and characters - Fairytales worldwide (I have a RedRidingHood obsession) - (Childrens-) Christmasstamps

WASHI TAPE/ MT Tape I love Japanese washi tape, like MT ! Especially with letters, numbers and words etc on it, but any real washi tape makes me happy!! (Please no plastic decotape)

Historical and Costume movies - like Marie Antoinette etc.

I only love the Disney movies upto 1970, the modern ones I don't like at all, the drawings in the earlier years were much better I think

i am not sure if you can still access the group forums, so i write here on your profile so you see it. if you want to resend to synchrodoll the 4th(?) time, research for registered mail. i assume it isnt that expensive netherlands to germany. and also send all 3 swaps in one envelope. but label them clearly so every swap is recognised. i dont have other ideas at the moment. all the best.
