Update December 2024: slowly getting back into swap-bot after moving from New Zealand back to Oregon, still lots to unpack, but I found most of my paper crafting supplies and sticker hoard 🎉💕 The rest of the "About me" section needs to be updated, which I will do here pretty soon

Profile is not yet finished. Still in the process of adding things.

If my swap doesn't make it your way, please message me so we can figure out a resend. I do usually take pictures of my swaps before mailing them out. Mail from New Zealand can take up to 2+ month.

My name is Carola, I'm a Bavarian transplant (south-east Germany) currently living in Aotearoa (New Zealand) with part of my family.

My pronouns are she/her.

I have two cats, Nebula and Sam. They are currently in my previous home in Oregon, due to ridiculously high pet relocation fees, but they are with family. A kitty from the neighbourhood recently joined us and pretty much moved in with us. Her name is Pixie.

I work in the hospital dental department.

I love junk journaling, going to op-shops/ thrift stores, photography - especially abandoned places.
