As I live in Sweden, shipping can sometimes take a little longer.

Since I put my mail in a regular mailbox, the date on the package might not match the send date I clicked. It depends a little on the time and day I put it in the mailbox.

I never rate a 1 or 3 without contacting the sender first, I believe most things can be worked out! I hope you feel the same way!

I'm a crafty girl from Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. I live here with my 6 yo son Linus. My boyfriend and his 5 yo son lives with us part time. I used to do lots of swaps around when my son was born, but life got in the way and I had to stop for a while. So when I found swap-bot I was so excited!

In my free time I love doing things with my son! We're often alone together and we do all sorts of things. He loves to craft, and it warms my heart that he is getting quite good at it!

I also enjoy renovating our sail boat with my boyfriend. It's a 1946 mahogany/pine skerry cruiser.

And of course I craft a lot :)

I have a B.Sc in Geographical Information Technology and a B.A in English Literature. I work as an energy engineer, mainly with measuring and energy analysis in district heating.

I prefer criminal novels, especially by P.D. James. I'm a real sucker for scifi, and I love the classic authors like Verne, Heinlein and Asimov. I also try to mix in some of the classics between the "mind numbing" fiction. I mostly read in swedish and english.

I listen to almost all sorts of music. My boyfriend is a true audiophile, so we listen to a lot of music at home. Everything from Johnny Cash and Lars Winnerbäck to Infected Mushroom and VNV Nation.

The movies that I like at the moment are Walk the Line, the Pirates trilogy, Kingdom of Heaven (I can watch this one over and over again!), and oh, I must not forget Smokey and the Bandit! I'm not really into romances, comedy or drama, and I don't do horror! I prefer death, destruction and action ;)

I don't watch a lot of TV, but when I do it is mostly Bones, CSI, House and Navy CIS, and I really like Little Britain and Big Bang Theory! In reality I watch more kids' tv than grown up stuff...

I have tried most crafts I think... Knitting, crocheting, embroidery, bobbin lace, quilting, sewing, weaving, painting, card making, scrapbooking, jewelry, machine embroidery, and so on.

My favourite crafts at the moment are papercrafts and sewing.

I'd really like to try needle felting or creating with metal clay. Two crafts I have never tried :)

I like a lot of things...

• Flowers: tulips, snow drops, geraniums, orchids, violets
• Colours: I love autumn hues, like purple, rust and deep green. I also like pastels, like fairy dust. Heck, I love all colours!! I'm not really into neons though....
• Scents: For candles, soaps and such, I like fresh and light scents, like citrus, cotton, fresh linen
• Tea: I prefer black tea, but I like surprises :) Pure and flavoured are all welcome! But please no red tea/rooibos due to allergy.
• Animals: Dragonflies, fish, deere, small birds, lady bugs
• Nature: Mushrooms, fossils, leaves, think of a deep, old forest
• Favourite season is autumn

• I like a bit of nudity, preferrably vintage. I'm not easily offended by pictures or words! (please no religion though, see below) *I love gardening and nature, wheter it's my mom's green house or the forest. *I enjoy making home made gifts, especially from the kitchen! *I also like altering stuff, recycling and upcycling.

I would prefer not to get

• Makeup
• Incense
• Please no red tea/rooibos due to allergy
• Heavily scented things
• Please, no religious things, no bible verses, no crosses and such. This is a choice I have made in my life, and I hope you'll respect it, as I respect your choice of faith.
