About Me

Hello Swapbotters! Hello Friends!

Update November 2023: Im working on Sending all the missing parts. Hope they'll reach you ยดtil Christmas. Maybe I will ask for one or two addresses. If you are waiting for pieces from me and you moved this year, please tell me the new post address. Mine changed only a little from Number 5a to 5. But most will be ok.

Again, I have to excuse for letting you wait for so long. It was the most exhausting year for me, and I wish I could have finished all the tasks before my surgery. The move and finally taking care for grandpa.

Hope you will like my belated sendings. I missed you a lot. Please don't think I did not care, I simply couldn't. I appreciated everything I received from you and I will show every piece on my Insta and try to rate whatever I can. All the best for you!

Update 28th of Mayโ€™23: Good News! It seems my arm will recover fully. I just started training. Also we are moving to a bigger flat right now. There I can start over and prepare some wonderful pieces for you hopefully soon. Still I am very sorry you have to wait a little longer, but Iโ€™ll do my best to surprise you with whatever you might appreciate. I look forward to send out mail. I guess Iโ€™ll start with the ratings soon. I received a lot of mail and I canโ€™t wait to start. You are awesome! Thank you! ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’— โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”

I case of delay of mail and ratings, please read first. You are not flaked or forgotten. I tried to send out messages to everybody who is waiting for my mail or rating but I might have missed someone. I am very sorry. Please give me some more time. I thank you a lot for your patience. Please donโ€™t rate me too soon.

After an accident in January I was told I have to undergo surgery of my left arm in April. I need some time for myself to prepare for that and the upcoming semester in university. There are lots of problems to be solved.

Hope I can rate all the beautiful pieces I received from you over the last weeks in two weeks from now, but I canโ€™t tell for the first. Maybe it will be the end of summer.

I think about you everyday and miss creating and sending out colorful mail to you. I just wanted you to know whatโ€™s going on in my life and that I will be back.

I will have a lot of appointments to recover this spring/summer. I have no idea what is lying in front of me but I feel thankful grateful and blessed. The Lord is protecting me and he will provide what is right for me.

Iโ€™ll include you into my prayers and hope you are well. Sending hugs and all the best wishes! ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’•

My Name is Anika. I am a nurse, labtechnician and teacher living in Germany at the countryside with my fiancรฉ and dogs โ€žLiveโ€œ (11 y.o. Curly black fur Mudi-mixedbreed from Romania) and โ€žHappyโ€œ (1y.o. Little cutie born in Germany by a mother rescued from Romania - she is white with brown spots looking like a jack Russel but slim and sporty.) I looove dogs and children! For ten years I lived in the city of cologne and near Bonn, but now I enjoy nature and trees, animals and gardening, walking and hiking.

I organize monthly international ATC-Swaps for Cards and Coins of every style and technique on instagram (I donโ€™t like Facebook) I love connecting artists. You can find me: #anik4swap @ani k4paper and @ani k4swap

When checking my Insta be careful for pictures of something our swap is about. -> Spoiler alert.

I really like every color and everything self made. I love to be inspired by your style, so donโ€™t worry about my taste or anything. I prefer something self made over something bought. I am happy about every mail. I also like paper scraps from self made paper, colored paper, patterns, gift wrap, book pages. I can use pockets and envelopes and ephemera and fodder. Blank Postcards I collect for a friend of mine if not self made or written to me. If you collect postage stamps, I can send some with my letter. I also collect those for friends.

I love vintage style, everything collage, steampunk but also kawaii, I do scrapbooking, mini journal, junkjournaling (I love bookbinding) and I have sent some postcards, happy mails and journal giveaways in the past already. I collect newspapers from other countries. I love making waxseals and I have a lot of washis, stickers and pieces of fabric. Old playing cards are cool for making apcs, tell me if you want to swap those or ATC-backgrounds. :D

I like Christian/religious stuff. I am a believer in Jesus, Father and the Holy Spirit! You can send me all your crosses and fishes and psalms and bible passages. I can also pray for you if you tell me. I was only a Christian by name when I was young and since I am 30 I started to read and study the Bibel. If you are in a similar situation or if you know bsf or the app word go. Letโ€™s talk about it! Maybe we can study together.

Oh and I like sailor moon.

Dislikes:

Satan Zombie Yoga/Buddha/spiritual Witchy stuff Tarot/oracle Harry Potter Jewelry Sweets Loose glitter

With the swaps I am reliable! I message when I canโ€™t send for any reason. Please do this too. And please contact me if you havenโ€™t received anything before rating or if you really dislike the style. Let me try again if I got the challenge wrong.

I offer swaps for Senders Choice technique and style ATCards and -coins, APCs, HMPC, ATC-Backgrounds/masterboards, waxseals, christian ATCs and Postcards on swap-bot.com public but most of them in our group โ€œAnik4ATCsโ€. Our group is supposed to be a place where anybody is invited to open up his favorite kind of swap. But you can also tell me how I could design the perfect swap for you. Help us to grow and develope.

You might also know me from the monthly international collaged altered playing card swap #micpce or the #cwcraftsatcswap which is now #nodramaswap or the swaps of #kandthepostcards because I like to participate there too. You can also invite me to your swap! Iโ€™d love to discover new groups.

So nice to meet you! Feel free to ask. I am looking forward to an exchange with you!
