oO0 penpalling... 0Oo

i started penpalling when i was 12. i really love to get looooong, creative letters... as well as a full mailbox. my pallies are my true friends. as in the "normal life" friends come and go. same as my pallies. some of my ex-pals really dissapointed me, some left me after years or after some letters and some just wanted to get phat mail with loads of fbs and werent interested in me. i dont have many old pallies left as we splited up when i had my final exams in school. they couldnt understand that i didnt had the time for letters and fbs ... i think a friend can understand this and besides that is a fb not the reason to keep up a friendship ... so i am sad, but i know now who really loves me!!!
i am always looking for some more new long letter/e-mail pallies with similar interests around my age...

oO0 swapping.. 0Oo

... first of all i started swapping fbs .. those crapy fbs where people just put a label
in and pass on. then i got into swapping nice fbs, decos, slams, labelbags,
x-slips, slams and postcards. i love also to include nice stuff to my letters like memos, stickers, pens, stamps, postcards,
bookmarks, confetti, .. =) 
Then i joined some very cool yahoo swapping groups... and thats a FAB way to make new friends!!! In the meanwhile I decided to reduce swapping of fbs a bit and quit doing decos. So for now I am more into swapping small other things like mentioned above, also magazines, books, cheap jewelery and .. postcards for sure!So email me if you would like to set up a trade ;o)
