Welcome to my profile!

I am a catsitter, bookbinder and paper artist. I love to read, to cook, to bake. Most of my free time goes into making journals, notebooks, cards and stationery. I like to recycle and upcycle. I like to share what I make with people all over the world! Therefore hand made cards, mailart and snail mails are very welcome.

I love to read. Usually historical fiction, classic and modern literature, philosophy, psychology and essays. Some of my favourite books ever: - The Night Circus - The Gargoyle - The Thirteenth Tale - The parfum - everything by M. Yourcenar, T. Mann, H. James

I have a Little Free Library in my front garden, it is a wonderful way of exchanging books.

I like to listen to classic music, usually chamber or choir music. But most of all I love the silence, at home or in the nature.

I live as environmentally conscious as I can and I am vegetarian. I love animals, expecially cats ❤

My favourite seasons: fall and winter.

I speak Enlish, French, Dutch and Italian.

I see Swap-Bot as a chance to spread love and to put a smile on someone's face.
