About Kasmiira...

Hello! I'm a middleaged occupational therapist from Finland. I'm interested in travelling and different cultures, cats(I have 5 cats), arts, singing, hand crafts etc. As a catlover I would like to know what "cat" is in your language and maybe you can draw me one, too! :)

All kind of cards are very welcome, but just now I like specially:
* cat cards - but not so much the cute ones...
* cards which I can use in therapy: strange, funny, aggressive, irritating, touching - they can be photos, b&w:s, art cards...
*cards of russian dolls!
*maps
