Hi there :-) My name is Josi, I am 36 years old and I live in Germany.
Yeah, another life-update...I had to take a little break. My body just said enough is enough and I had to take a step back. I try to come back to the surface again.
I am penpalling for some time now and I find happiness and relaxation in it. It is a way of calming myself down after a long day of work. I do like to try new things. Right now I find myself making a book journal and doing some junk journaling :)
If we are swap-partners and you haven't received my mail, please conract me!
As a member of the snail mail community I love decorating letters or envelopes and make some little crafts like flipbooks or wallets and I do love making pocket letters, but I haven't received one yet. I am always searching for new inspiration and ideas.
I enjoy working with die cuts or washi stickers, flake stickers or sticker sheets and of course paper, paper, paper 😅 there can't be enough paper. I do love making my own envelopes using old children books or 30x30 paper.
I like all kinds of stationary. I am a huge fan of washi stickers and die cuts (everything is beautiful and usefull), writing paper, paper in all forms and sizes, sticker flakes, postcards with themes I like (preferably written).
I am also a member of the postcrossing community 😊 and I like to decorate my cards with washi tape and stickers. I don't make my own cards yet, but perhaps in the future 😊
Lately I am trying out ATCs. It is quite difficult, but I have so much fun decorating them 😊 I still don't feel good enough to participate in a swap, but 2021 is very young and I have a goal!
To make it easier for you, if you just scrolled down here, I made you a little list 😅 no hard feelings here! I know I tend to write to much 🙈

🌈 Everything related to the LGBTQ+ community
📃I would appreciate some recommendations for books or music :) I am always looking for new inspiration!
Fantasy is an all time favourite genre. Movies like Pan's Labyrinth or Harry Potter or all the Marvel Movies are just good! But I also like watching Rom-Coms like Set it Up, Sex and the City 1 or While you were sleeping. And don't forget Science Fiction like Star Wars, Star Trek or Alien :-) I do enjoy independent and arthouse movies like Amélie or Heaven and the queer cinema :-)
Well, I can enjoy mostly every genre and movie, as long as it is no horror or scary movie like The conjuring or It. I can't stand horror-movies and if a group of friends would watch such a movie, I would leave the room.
I have some feel-good-TV-shows, I can rewatch over and over again, like: Gilmore Girls, Friends, Queer as Folk or Supernatural :)
Of course I do like other stuff too like: Game of Thrones, Eureka, Sex Education, Criminal Minds, Big Bang Theory and many more :)
I really like the books by Mhairi McFarlane, Sebastian Fitzek and Jane Austen. My favourite authors :-)
Of course I am a huge fan of Harry Potter! I loved the books and the movies and the whole magical world around it :-) every year around christmas I watch the movies again :-) the perfect time for me.
And I love 'The Neverending Story'. As a child I had a cassette with the audiobook. Fantasia is just a wonderful place where everything lives in a state of balance and everyone is loved by the childlike empress equaly :-)
My favourite ones in 2021 are: The midnight library Queenie The rivers of London Cyril Avery Mein Amrum
I have a huge bookshelf and I love to decorate it with crafts and goodies I get from my penpals and swap-partners :)
You've made it! Thank you so much for reading my profile 💖

Josi, du bist der Knüller! Die ersten vier Tage im Dezember waren dank dir großartig! Die Gesichtsmasken, die Marshmallows, die Socken und dann auch noch ein Buch, dass ich mir so sehr gewünscht habe … ich weiß gar nicht, wie ich dir danken soll! Ich hatte eine nicht so gute Woche und die vier Türchen haben mich wahnsinnig aufgemuntert! Tausend Dank! 😘
