About Me

Hi everyone out there! Once again so much happened in my life and now finally I am back to some kind of normal here. Separated from my ex - which is all good. Living now my own life, having my own happy place is all I need. So to sum up the last year...I fought depression, moved, got back to working full time, finished my MBA in Health Management, got a third cat.

Now that things calm down I realize how much I miss that "me" time with letters, art etc. So I'm back here as well.

What you might want to know about me: I'm Manuela, 44 now, living in a city called Chemnitz in the east of Germany. I'm a crazy cat lady with three very active and lovely Norwegian Forest cats who like to talk - and to loose their hair everywhere. I try to be careful with my swaps of course but they love to sleep on my table when I write so...well I do my best :-)

I'm living on my own now so I enjoy the possibility to do whatever I want. Which mostly means that I spend time at home, I don't need to be around people that much. I work full time and this is enough social life sometimes.

I also love to watch sports (soccer and basketball).

We love to travel but it costs a lot so I can't do it as often as I'd love to. I love beaches and Italy is in my heart. But also Spain somehow and I still dream of living on one of the Canary Islands (Fuerteventura) one day.

Postcards are a great way to travel the world. I'm a member of Postcrossing as well and enjoy sending and receiving cards. I also love to write letters and of course I have plenty of stationery here at home :-)

I don't like to cook but of course I have to...we have to survive somehow. Baking is nice though.

Reading is another thing I like, mostly novels with a historical background (fiction or real).

I used to do more papercrafts in the past, now I'm happy if I manage to make an envelope :-) Well, and ATC's. Mine are mostly collage style, sometimes also mixed media, drawn etc. Depends on the topic and how I feel like. I don't consider myself an artist but always put my heart in what I do.

Another passion are languages. I speak German, English and Italian. I also understand Dutch and Spanish but still need to practice it more to actively speak it. I learned French at school, I guess I still understand it...

Last but not least I love music and I'm happy to discover new artists that Spotify suggests. Since my playlist is mostly Italian I don't mention any artist here, I guess most are unknown in the world.

About swapping

Just some things to give you an idea of what I like. But I absolutely appreciate everything where I can see that you thought of me, put your heart in it...so please no worries or pressure here :-)

  • Postcards (see other section)
  • writing paper
  • something in your language (quotes, newspaper clipping etc.)
  • I'm always happy to get a handwritten note/letter
  • I love beaches, flowers, cats, quotes, sunsets
  • I try to get myself into journaling and don't like to only write in it
  • supplies for paper crafts (mostly for ATC's) are always welcome
  • I appreciate your creativeness and artistry so handmade things are welcome

Postcards

I collect postcards and I'm always happy to swap them. Favorite themes are:

  • Touristy, from where you are or from rare countries

  • Map cards

  • Soccer stadiums or other sports stadiums

  • Cats

  • Quotes

  • Sports

  • Hands and Feet

  • Dance

Comment: Love this postcard, thank you! I agree, sometimes animals are definitely the better company. We had a gerbil years ago and loved him! They're illegal in California, so we haven't been able to get another one. We do have two rescued cats. We don't get snow in the area I live now and I miss it!

Comment: Thank you for the flower postcard!! Sadly it got pretty damaged in transit so I think it took the PO a while to figure out who it was for - luckily I could still read your message! I hope the weather is getting nicer there for you, today was overcast and rainy, but I don't mind because a couple weeks ago we had very warm summer-like weather. I like spring! Anyway, thank you again! Take care :)
