About Me

Hi!

My Name is Maria, I am 30 years old and I live in Milan with my Husband and our pet corn snake Jeremy. I was born and bred in London, but have been living in Italy since 2010. I work in a nursery and although my job is very demanding, I adore the little souls I get to work with every day.

As I am in the middle of moving house, I have not focused much on swapping or letter writing. I hope that will change once we're settled in our new home. However, with the HUGE increase in postage prices that happened at the end of 2014, my sent post will drop dramatically and I want to give 'priority' to my existing penpals. I am sad that swapping will be put on the very low, back burner for now, but I will still join in when I find something s.p.e.c.i.a.l and I just can't help myself ;)

Extras

I have left all my 'likes' info up so that you can get to know me a little before sending a swap, but I want to add a little about extras...

Please do not feel obliged to send something extra. Please, please, please do not send an extra for the sake of it.

I am in the process of slimming down my stationery collection and craft supplies. In light of this, I really would really prefer not to receive extras, especially ones that that are unrelated to the swap i.e. we are swapping postcards and you include scrapbook paper scraps as an extra....

I don't want to seem like a meanie, but if I wanted scrapbook paper, I would have joined a swap for scrapbook paper or paper ephemera ;)

So, please save your extras for someone who will love them. Don't worry, I give hearts based on the quality of the swap, not on whether you sent an extra or not :D

A note on the Post

Where I live, there is no postal collection after 12pm and no collection or delivery on weekends.

In theory this should not affect swaps I send as I will send by the deadline date (or pm you if there is something CRAZY that happens to prevent this).

However, if the deadline is on a Friday, the swap will not go into circulation until the Monday, depite me posting on time, so please be patient :)

If something hasn't reached you after 3 weeks, please contact me and I WILL resend.

Comment: Thanks very much. 3rd time lucky. I'll put it up this year. FYI I have just read your message on your profile about your 1 rating. I messaged you on 9th May 2014 to inform you I hadn't received this swap. I didn't receive a reply, therefore I was not aware of your re-send.
Response: I'm glad it finally reached you :)

Hi! As a fellow reptile lover I thought the Scales 'n' Tails Swapbot group might be up your alley!

I removed you from I LOVE Kawaii because it’s been more than two months since you were last online on Swap-bot. Click our Join this group link when you’re active and swapping again.

Hi Maria. Just wanted to let you know that your travelling postcard for Round 23 has just arrived safely in round 36. I'm the eighth swapper to pass it along on its adventurous journey. It will be mailed out in the Round 37.

Happy (belated) Birthday!

You are indeed an angel- I am sorry for not leaving a comment sooner. Your letter got read and promptly misplaced in the morass of finals paperwork and holiday tidying, which is entirely my fault. But I did get your lovely letter, and I wanted to say thank you!

leilx on Jan 2, 2011:

thanks for angeling the taboo topics #2 swap! That was very kind of you.
