I'm 28 years old teacher from a town called Kajaani.

I love papercraft, art, books, animals, cats, nature, knitting, music (rock, classical, dance, metal, alternative), letters, colours and colorful things, paints, jewellery, dangly earrings, art history, dresses, scrapbooking papers, beautiful things, butterflies, glitter, old photos, buttons,all kinds of drawings etc. My sock size is 37-38.

I swap decos, atcs and other artworks, lyrics, surprise envelopes etc. related to mailart.

I like to receive:

Pens Nice, artsy stickers origami papers Embellishments Inks Post cards (vintage, animals, beautiful landscapes, anything I can use in my art) Ribbons Bookmarks Buttons Scrapbook papers, chipboard, etc... beads charms old photographs vintage stuff other nice little pictures I could use in art small books handmade items craft supplies confetti teas/coffee/drink mixes fabric scraps sewing items rubber stamps rubberstamp pads stamped images religious kitsc (but I'm not religious) something sold only in your region

I listen to all kinds of music, except hiphop, rap-styles. I love music which emotion, good melody, good words, chanting rhythm etc. From classical to heavy metal.

Example: Muse, Björk, Devin Townsend, Florence + the Machine,RHCP, Nirvana, lots of finnish rockbands.

I like also mainstreem pop/r&b/latin/dance-music like Madonna, Rihanna, Kylie Minoque etc.

I love reading, so there's couple of my faves:

Jean Auel: Earth`s Children-series and similar other historical novels.

Anne Rice: vampire books and for example Meyer´s vampire-series.

Harry Potter, The lord of the rings and other fantasy literature.

Torey Hayden's books, coz I am a teacher too.

Decos, lyrics, atc's and other artsy things.

I've been swapping decos etc for ~15 years now. I like decos most, and lyrixes/ other decorable items and decorated bags. I'm not so into fb's, coz I love to do art, decorate and watch artsy pages, I don't want to watch pages with only addresses there.

I love personal, artsy, creative decos. I prefer more unique style than slapped stickers or lonely clipped picture . And I'm not so into disney, diddl, hello kitty, sanrio etc- type decos and cute stuff. I prefer drawings, paintings, collage, mixed media.

I like to sew and knit too and other techniques related to fabric.

Painting, drawing, collage technicues, mixed media etc.

ATCs:

I like atcs with drawings, paintings, mixed media and collage with personal, unique touch. I'm not so interested about certain themes but I love to see different techniques, mediums, personal aspects of art. I'm not so into atcs with thousands of times used cute characters or anything seen too often, if you know what I mean. I don't find neat and nice atcs very exciting, I prefer creative, artsy ones!

I don't need x-mas or easter stuff.

Like I said earlier in my profile, I don't like to receive cutesy decos/atcs etc.. (diddl, disney, Hello Kitty etc well known commercial brands ), decos/atcs/etc with cartoons etc. I've seen them too often. I do want to swap art and I think art is something unique and personal, it's not combining commercial transnational brands for every deco, they look similar to millions of established decos. Don't be offended by this. I would not piss off if I receive accidentally something I'm not so into, I can send it to someone else.

I'll say once again: I don't want to receive regular fbs.

NOTICE! I live in Finland, so the letters don't travel very quickly from here to USA or some other distant-from-here countries. Our post company says it may take few weeks to deliver. Deliveries to big cities around the world are faster than to smaller towns.
