Favorite Crafts

I love pretty much anything paper!

Vinyl stickers, transparent stickers, journal junk papers, letter writing papers, surreal artwork, steampunk themes. I also love kawaii stickers and those with sentences and quotes. I love those large washi tapes too, specially with female themes (girls, fashion...), book themes, coffee/tea, libraries and cafes, flowers... Pretty much anything.

I love also scrap papers of old dictionaries, old books, magazines, I love collage style art, so anything you might think it look like trash, I can transform it! :D And this includes materials for collage art too. Big fan of all ephemera.

I love coffee and tea themes too (paper with stains, old coffee aesthetic, stickers… anything related to it).

Tea bags are highly welcome!

Postcards (written or blank), all types, old and new.

I started recently with ATCs and I also love to collect them. All subjects are interesting to me.

Current phase: the crazy die cut lady!

I am a huge fan of The Little Prince.

Things that I don't like (but I would not rate you down if you send): Sports themes; Black teas in general; Anime related things; Disney stickers (I love the postcards, but not stickers very much. The only exception is Disney villains - those stickers I like!)

Favorite Books

I am a declared bookworm! I love bookmarkers, book suggestions too (my favorite themes are sci-fi, post apocalyptic, biographies, romance - but not the cliche ones and young adult themes). I love stickers to be used in books as markers, old pages, old covers, first editions and classic authors. George Orwell and George R.R. Martin are my favorites.

Favorite Games

I love playing games and anything related to it. I spend a lot of time playing RPG games with rich stories and huge maps, tons of missions and side missions. My two favorite games in this style is Dying Light and Cyberpunk. Currently I have been playing Mad Max. I'm also a fan of cute indie cozy games, like Littlewood, Stardew Valley, GoGo Town and currently I've been spending a lot of time playing Coral Island.

About Me

I am Brazilian, but have been living in Finland for +10 years. I've been married for 8 years to my "Nordic Prince", he's been the best husband, friend, family and, since our two year son was born, the best dad I could have ever chosen to my boy! My English is fluent, I basically use it everyday, but my native language is Portuguese (so feel free to use it with me too). My Finnish is decent, I can get buy in conversations, I can read, but I can't write to save my life :D Feel free to do so, my husband can always help me with translations!

I am open for private swaps, just send me a message, I will gladly do it. I know a lot of people like things from Finland (from candy to stamps), I can happily send anything you prefer, just let me know!

I am very understanding and easy going with deadlines and late sending. I am very reluctant to give 3s and 1s, so I will always try to contact the person if I haven't receive anything or if I think the swap didn't meet the requirements. I know everybody has a life and most importantly: this is a hobby, this is supposed to be fun. I am not here to put anyone under pressure. Of course the commitment is important and we work here with the presumption of honesty, but there's no need to hold anything against anyone, specially if you see that the person is doing their absolute best.

We don't control the mail after it leaves our hands, so please be understanding.

I always read and reply the messages. If I haven't, please write on my wall profile, I will certainly check.

Comment: Holy cow! Was this amazing package I just opened for the postcard swap?!! It's amazing and creative. I love it so much. If it wasn't for this swap, please let me know. I've searched the mail and I can't seem to find any indication of what it was meant to be sent for. Thanks a million!
Response: Hey friend! It's the right swap, don't worry! :D I decided to send a little extra because I read your profile and noticed that I had a few things in my studio that you'd maybe like! I'm glad you enjoyed the swap, hope you create beautiful things with the things! All the love!

Comment: Thank you SO much! Your package made my day. That was so kind of you to put together something so thoughtful. I loved it. 😊
Response: I am so happy to know! I was very worried that maybe you wouldn't like my "interpretation" of dreamcore, this was the swap that I sent feeling a little bit insecure. Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed! Hope you can create beautiful things with everything. All the love!
