update 4 September:
I think I've sorted everything out after my vacation. But if I forgot to let you know that I've received something from you, or you did not get something from me that was supposed to, please send me a PM.
I'm a woman, 39 years old, mother of a boy (15 years old) and a girl (13 years old) and happily living together with my partner Peter (45 years old).
I work as a reg. nurse and I love my job.
I'm a Foodie. Yes, with a capital. ;O)
I like all kinds of music but I'm a big fan of Anouk.
I used to read a lot of books but I think I'm to busy doing other things.... XD
If I read I like to read thrillers/ horror. (S. King, Dean Koontz) For now I read magazines like Psychology, Food magazines and 'Women stuff'.
Cookbooks. I love to read them. Especially those from foreign countries with local recipes. It's like a really good novel to me.
I don't know why but I always fall asleep when I want to watch a movie.
Horror, comedy or romantic I like them all. But mostly early in the morning.
All time favorite is Mermaids, every movie from S. King including the series for TV, the Witches of Eastwick and Meet Joe Black.
I do not watch much TV. Again, for some reason I always fall asleep.
She is a girly girl. Not like me. She likes to paint her nails, wears make up, follows the latest fashion and so on. (I really don't know what happened in my womb....)
She is pretty easy going and likes a lot of things. Things for her hair, earrings, nailpolish, eyeliners, eyeshadow, a nice postcard, she loves horses, candy, popcorn, chewing gum (all flavors) and pink.
She craves for a bikini in neon pink color from over seas. So if you're in the (almost) same position PM me.
I love to make soap and B&B products. Most of my spare time is spend on those.
Cooking and baking is a passion. I love to bake bread, cakes and cookies. Old fashion cooking is also favorite. Like canning and making sauces. I collect cooking books. I have about 400.
If there is any time left (or I have to much soap ;-)) I like to do lots of other crafts.
I just started to quilt. I have a dream of a big quilt that I can put on my bed. So if anyone could help me with tips/ tricks/ hints I would be very thankful!
Local products like honey, herbs, spices, candy, rubs, drinks, tea, (dried) fruit, seeds from vegetables and fruit etc. I'm very curious and want to try everything.
I like candy but I'm more a hearty kind of girl. So I choose salted popcorn over the sweet one. But do not hesitate to send sweets from your country. I have family members who are happily willing to take care of the sweets! ;O)
note: I/ we do not like sweeteners. Just sugar is perfectly fine! =o)
Things that are handmade with passion and love.
Food magazines. It doesn't matter if it is an other language. I love to see pictures of food!
KoolAid.
Spice mixes
Hot chocolate mixes
Turtles. I like them. I do not know why.
Recipes from all over the world. I like to make things from scratch.
Cute/ Funky/ Special/ Funny things from your country.
Socks (European size 37/ US 6,5/ UK 4)
I collect cookbooks. I have about 400. But there is always room for something special. I have several foreign books and a few very old and rare books. I like the history behind it. Like the first canning methods etc.
I LOVE [insert big heart] pepper. Habanero, Jalopeno, Schezuan Pepper etc. I don't care as long it is pepper! I try to grow them in my yard. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes not. I want to trade seeds or dried peppers from anywhere in the world. I like to try as much as possible different hot sauce! (Like tabasco, Caribean Habanero sauce, Chipotle sauce or anything from your country or area.)
I like to drink tea. Lots of it.
Microwave Popcorn. In all flavors. The only I can get here is Sweet (just sugar) and Salt. I would love to try any other flavor!
I enjoy reading about food. Even if it is a magazine that is given away for free from a company that sells food/ beverages.
House. I love him. Srsly
Dislike:
Anything that is not made or given with love and/ or passion.
We love animals.
We have 2 dogs (Golden Retriever, Tim and a Chocolate Labrador, Zazu).
Two cats, Dora and Syp.
Two turtles.
A rabbit.
Three chickens, which we adore and they are giving us 3 fresh eggs every day.
Although our cats do not live in my swap items there is always a change that there could be a hair from them. If you are very allergic, please let me know so I can keep your items on an other place and keep them away from our cats.
Although I'm new on Swap-Bot I'm not new to Swapping. I swapped a lot on Soap, B&B Forums. It goes a little different there because you'll have to make something for all the participants. So here on Swap-Bot i think it is very relaxed to have just one or a few. :O)
I like to spoil people. Swapping is an experience for me. Not just wanting to have 'stuff'. I would like to do the same for other people.
I want to do private Swaps also. Just drop me a message.
If I'm your partner in a swap and you did not receive anything, please contact me! Although the PO is reliable here it just sometimes happens that things just don't reach there destination. I will sort that out. But if I don't get a message something isn't right, I will think everything is ok.
