Creeny

I am a 40something years old person living in the North of Germany close to Hamburg, the city of my heart which is also known as "die schönste Stadt der Welt" (world's most beautiful city). I love walking around there to take pictures of the harbour, the Speicherstadt or other wonderful places.

Something about the sent button & me ;):
As I have a little notebook where I write down sent date, adresses of partners etc. of each swap, I don't look at my dashboard every day or just use tablet or mobile phone and so I forget quite often to click the button when a swap is sent. Please don't think I am a flaker cause of this ;)

I usually put swaps in the mailbox in time, but some mailboxes here get emptied just once a day from Mo-Fri, so the stamp date on the letter may be from a later day.

Follow your heart or how I use to rate...
I hate to give bad ratings and so I prefer to wait patiently for long travelling swaps or contact my partner, if nothing arrives. If you can't send in time, just a little message to me and everything is fine :)
For me hearts are a nice way to thank you for spending a little time thinking of me or putting special effort into a swap before sending out :)

As tea swaps are my favourite swaps, some words about the teas I love:

I drink a lot of green & black tea (pure or flavoured) , but white, herbal & fruit ones are welcome, too :)

Some flavours I am not so happy with: rooibos tea at all, any licorice stuff, too much cinnamon, cream & sweets related ones as caramel, marshmellow etc., hibiscus, rosehip, plain orange & lime (mixed with other fruits they are ok). I am not a friend of artificial tastes at all and prefer mostly natural flavoured teas.

If it goes to tea brands:

• Løv, PUKKA, HIGHER LIVING, CLIPPER, CUPPER and ENGLISH TEA SHOP are my favourite brands - I love the cute packages & the wonderful flavours!

• I love organic teas a little more and love to share them with my swap partners.

• If you live in Suomi: I love, love, love the NORDQVIST Moomin teas! Other black and green NORDQVIST teas are also very welcome.

Don't worry, if your tea selection seems not to fit my taste: I am open to try almost everything :-) As I am a passionate tea swapper, I will also find someone loving the tastes I don't like.

• DIY - being creative in many different ways & making life more colourful (esp. love sewing & drawing)
• photography in (almost) every moment of life
• Moomins :)
• Finland & the Finnish language (which is so hard to learn, but I try my very best to get along...)
• Scandinavia
• chocolate is always welcome :) No matter whether it is dark, milk or white, filled or plain. My boyfriend loves caramel a lot, I have a crush on salted chocolate. We both love organic stuff a little more...
• woodland animals (esp. foxes, rabbits & badgers) and birds esp. robins, bluetits, sparrows, swallows and owls
• things with ladybugs, strawberries, apples, cherries & cherry blossoms, stars, music notes, four-leaf clover, mushrooms (esp. toadstools)...on it
• Calvin & Hobbes
• pics and drawings by Kurt Halsey Frederiksen

Feel free to send me things that make yourself happy, so I will surely like them, too :)

• artificial smelling & tasting stuff
• Hello Kitty, Diddl and similar stuff
• pink, pastell-coloured things & glittering stuff
• charms & jewellery (I am nickel-allergic)
• sorry, I am not a big fan of ATC's, ephemera, scrapbooking...

It would be great if you can send swaps in envelopes & not in boxes, so they easily fit into my postbox and I don't have to visit the post office to get them... So I would'n mind, if you send the teabags simply unboxed in an envie instead a box of tea in a package. If a swap can only be send in a box, please contact me for my P.O. box adress :)

• I reuse packages, envelopes etc. so don't wonder if you receive a package which looks a bit "used" or once was a box of cookies or anything like that...

• I will resend swap-items, if I have something which is perfect for another partner. So don't think, I don't like the items you sent me. I am not picky;) But I love to share beautiful things and making people happy!

• if you don't receive a swap from me, please contact me before rating. I will always resend a not received swap!!
