Bo

I just moved back to Croatia after 15 years living in Austria. I have a MA degree in Business although I always had passion for art and creativity. I am a single mum to 2 boys.

I am open-minded, very cheerful, always willing to have fun and a good laugh, love meeting new people and have been penpaling since I was 12 yrs. old. I like sharing all the things in my life, good and bad, exchanging experiences with pals. I see it as a nice & creative hobby. I have also met a lot of my penpals, some even few times, some became my real life friends.

I like haning out with my friends doing everything that please us, from chit-chat to events, theatre, concerts or just hanging out at someone´s place or in nature.

Random things I love:

Road trips

Baking cakes

Being at the Croatian coast the whole summer, going to different beaches, islands

Cocktails and beach bars

Being in nature

Flea markets

Mail art & long letters.

Concerts

Laughing with friends

Fashion, shopping for clothes, buying fashion magazines, styling etc.

I am a member of English book club where we exchange books on a monthly basis.

I like private swapping. There are always things I can not find in my town but I can offer some that can not be found elsewhere.

Hm...I never really watch TV. Most of the time is on while I am doing something else. :) But I like interesting documentaries, good movies - comedies, just any, even if they are a bit stupid I still enjoy them.

I can not live withouth music. As soon as I wake up in the morning, I turn on the radio. I used to be a big clubbing fan. I´m not out that often anymore but I still enjoy cool parties and a good dance.

My fave music styles are: electronic, house music, hip hop, jazz, any groovy and dancy tunes, The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Moloko.

I love the music from Flashdance movie and all the 80ies.

• washi tape - samples are fine as long as they are neat. My fave are golden or silver, artistic, abstract, black&white, different shapes
• paper flowers
• faux stamps (or stamps-shaped stickers)
• stencils
• fashion girls, pin-ups or artistic stickers
• project life cards
• stationery - cute or elegant, kawaii. Please with no real photos of animals like horses, dogs, cats etc. Cartoon or woodland are ok. I write long letters so I´m always interested in nice writing paper or sets.
• any stationery set or loose writing sheets from brown craft paper
• die cuts
• A5 or A4 letter notepads (no memos)
• fat mail
• words and sayings scrapbook stickers
• rubber stamps - no kiddie ones. If you have any artistic or abstracts ones but other themes are fine too. They can be used as well, I don´t mind as long as they are not insanely dirty.
• ink/distress pads in any color
• border stickers, sticker flakes, project life cards
• anything purple
• pastel colors
• stamp shaped paper punch or corner punch
• socks are ok as well as long as they are 100% cotton and not black, size 38-40 European size
• anything you believe I´d like!

Please, please if you can, put stamps on the envelope! Mail looks nicer and I collect them as well. :)

ENVIES: I always make sure to send decorated envelopes, so if you can, please make mail colorful as I´m one of those swappers who´d really appreciate it. I love mail art so you can put at least stickers on it or some deco tape. It brings much more joy when finding it in a mail box. :) This way it looks different than normal every daily mail like bills etc. This is also a purpose of swapping and exchanging snail mal.

• Dark, gothic stuff
• Halloween
• Baby themes or items. I have a kid but I do not like baby &kid themes
• Food items (only hot chocolate or chocolate is Ok)
• Make-up (I use it on a daily basis but prefer buying on my own as I´m picky)
• Animal themes (cats, dogs, horses etc).
• Pens (I have loads)
• Erasers (never use them)
• Ribbons
• Beads
• Magnets
• Diddl
• Scrapbooking paper ( I like it but currently have enough)

• Diddl stationeries
• Randon brands cute letter sets
• Envelopes
• Magnets
• Postcards
• Used stamps
• Tea bags
• Brads
• Confetti
• Different papers
• Ribbons
• or just ask if you need anything particular and I might have it

Yes, feel free to contact me! I´ll be happy to swap as I like private swaps better than public ones. I am also interested in bigger swaps in a box but those only for Europe!
