Pyrhulla

Just a heads up about sending out mail: like in many countries there are problems with the mail company in my country. It's possible that mailboxes aren't emptied for a few days (experienced this already a few times in 2024), so please have patience with my mail. I always send on time, but sometimes mail isn't picked up on time. I will try to send my swaps ASAP so it doesn't take too long for my partner to receive it. Thanks so much for your patience!

If you haven't received something from me PLEASE send me a message and I will resend ASAP. Thank you so much!

Hello and thanks for reading my profile in advance. A small request: if you send me any postcard or notecard then I would LOVE IT if you write something on/it it. I collect written postcards so in this way I can add them to my collection :) Thanks soooo much in advance. You don't have to write a lot, just a 'greetings from' is perfectly alright :)

My name is Joanne and I'm in my 30's. I live in The Netherlands in a small town in the Northeastern part and I love it here, it's quiet and cosy and there's lots of nature.

I have been a member of Swapbot before but haven't done anything on here for a very long time so I decided to make a new profile since my old profile doesn't exist anymore. (https://www.swap-bot.com/user:fee90) I'm not sure what happened to my old profile, it has been deleted, but the ratings are still viewable: https://www.swap-bot.com/account/ratings.php?id=Fee90 (thanks for swap-bot member @pahasiga for telling me this!). I have asked for help to merge the profiles but haven't heard anything yet (July '23 and November '23). If you have any questions about this, please send me a message! I have been an active memper in all kinds of swaps on FB and Instagram and have been a Postcrosser since 2013. I always send!!!

I speak Dutch, English and can read Swedish and German, so write me in one of those languages :)

I love postcards and stickers and I love to craft things. I also love to read and try to read as many books as possible. I read multipal books at the same time because then I can choose the right book for my mood. I love cooking too, so a great recipe is always welcome.

Thanks in advance for sending me something, I'm already excited!

If you've read all this, please draw me a small flower on the postcard. Thank you :)

-- I always prefer my postcards written, even if the swap doesn't require it. So, if you want, I would love you to write on the postcard you send me. Even just a little greeting would be lovely. So, I can always remember where (and from who) my postcard came from. But of course, if you don't want to that's fine too, it's not a necessity, just a wish :) Thanks in advance! --

I love kawaii stuff, both licensed and unlicensed, as long as it's cute and of good quality. I just started collecting kawaii but so far I especially like:

• My Melody

• Kutusita Nyanko

• Sentimental Circus

• Tarepanda

• Bonbonribbon

• Cinnamoroll

Last of all, a few things I don't really like

• butterflies
• tea bags (except for when the swap requires it!, then I prefer black tea or lemon tea)
• religious things
• teacher/reward/planner stickers
• kids stickers - don't like them and can't use them

I'm not sure how long my mail takes to reach you, but if it doesn't arrive in 4-6 weeks please message me so we can figure something out! Please don't rate me down before you contact me :) Thank you!

Recently I discovered that mailboxes in my area aren't emptied every day (maybe because it's a bit remote for Dutch standards haha) so the date on a cancellation stamp may not match the day that I sent the mail out. Just so you know :) I always send, I promise!

I really love to craft flipbooks and pocket letters and occasionally an ATC as well. I just love to work with paper and washi and I'm learning to work with paint now too. I'm in awe of a lot of swappers around here who really make true art! I'm not thát skilled (yet, hopefully) but I love to try new things and I'm really inspired by what I receive. Thanks a lot for sending me your art :)
