Hello! Hola! Hei! Ajhoy! Halló! Saluton! 👋
I'm an American expat living in Super Wonderful Scotland!

I love roller skating & ice skating!! ⛸️🏒 And I enjoy watching ice hockey.
I love the Czech Republic and I'm trying to learn Czech. I am also interested in learning Finnish & expanding my Spanish skills.
I recently got back into 35mm Colour & Black/White film photography. I love being back in the darkroom!
I am also roller skating more than before.
*** Please nudge me if I forget to rate! I really try hard to be on top of this but I do sometimes forget! ****

I just received your letter from the "Send to the person above you" tag on the forum. Thank you so much for the postcards and stickers! It took me a little while to identify it because your username and the tag weren't included, but I hope I got it right. Happy swapping!
I just love these postcards!! Thank you for the surprise tag! ❤️
Thank you your CD arrived and I can't wait to try it out on my way to work. Fun thing is that the package stayed at our customs for a long time and they were asking me for documentations for the package but I totally forgot that I was waiting on package from the UK, and told them to send me back documentation with the insides o the package lol so time passed by and one day it came to my door without me having to pay any taxes o.o What a luck!!
Hope your weekend is off to a wonderful start!
Thank you for the surprise me tag!!! So sweet of you:) I loved everything!
Thank you so much for the super cute Tuxedo cat goodies for the I collect tag!! I love them so much!
Hello there my fellow american!! I received your “I collect” tag swap today. It’s lovely and thank you! I also sent you an invite to our euro swappers only group. Stachel and I host it. Your welcome to join! As far as America goes... Our people obviously need us.. I mean...obviously... I can hardly watch it all anymore. Maybe we have to go back and straighten the whole mess out!!!!! Take care! Stay safe!
Thank you SO MUCH for the wonderful tag I received in today's mail! The pendant and the paw print charm are both so beautiful! I got so much mail today and am actually feeling very emotional. I will be keeping your gifts forever. You people on here are so sweet! <3 (((Hugs)))
You have no idea how stunned I am with your gift for the "I collect...send to the person above you"Tag. Everything is absolutely beautiful and perfect. The glass pendant is so delicate and I am so moved you made the key ring just last week with me in mind. Thank you so much for so much kindness.
