For the favourite flower swap:

My fave's are waterlily's, roses and orchids.

I'm a postcrosser and started swapping through the postcrossing forum. I love sending little things to others, especially from my country. The Netherlands! :-D

I always put a lof of effort in the things I do, swaps, crossings etc. I am really dissappointed when someone doesn't put work in these things.

I live together with my boyfriend and our cat Felix. I'm 22 years old and I study Social Work in College. At this point in time I'm an intern at a researchfacility for social research. I love being with family and friends. Besides all that, I try to find some time to volunteer at different causes. One of the things I like to do most is gardening. When the time is there, I love to stand in the mud and plant seeds. So rewarding. I like writing, I try to complete the NaNoWriMo every year. Cooking, omg- I adore cooking. And travelling. Because both have food. Rome (/ITALY) is my faaaave city ever, because of food. But also because of the art, I like that too! I'm a true foodie and always on the hunt for fun things that have something to do with food or eating. I'm an paper-o-holic, I just made that word up. But it is true, I love crafting things with paper

I'm spending a lot of time with my grandma right now. My (sweet, stubborn and very loved) granddad passed 28th nov. 2014 a few days after his 90th b-day and my grandma is having a hard time coping. Same as me. She loves messages, cards, poems, gifts or prayers, she's catholic. Maybe it rings a bell and you have something lying around you would like to share. This is NOT an requirement of course, it will mean the world to me if you can do this. Or tell me how you coped with a loss, I'm having some difficult times with this.

I hope I gave you some ideas about me, my life and my hobbies. I think you will find something that I love to include in our swaps. It doesn't take much because I already looooove getting mail and all. \there arent any requirements or something I have, just send like you would like to receive. I trust in your creativity and love for swapping.
