About Lexidh...

I'm 29 years old, and live with my boyfriend and our 5 fat cats in a very small town, that is getting city status in 2010 (something is very wrong..). We have about 6 months of winter, starting in October and ending in April. But no polar bears in the streets ;P I have lots of creative hobbies, mostly photography, scrapbooking (cats, vacations and recipes), sewing, card making and jewelry making. I love to travel, go geocaching when I can and play Mafia Wars on Facebook. I also love reading (crime novels, Discworld ++) and I watch a lot of sci-fi and thriller series on TV.

I have some quite specific wishes for the cards I receive.

1: Please put the card inside an envelope. I get so sad when a gorgeous card is destroyed and unreadable. And that is often the case when I get postcards with no envelope. I have no idea what they do to my mail before I get it, but it's not nice =(

2: I'm getting married in June 2010. So I would love to get wedding themed cards! I would also love some good advice, jokes, stories, stickers, tips on what to do about the "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue"-tradition, scrapbooking supply, and anything wedding related! I'm going to make a scrapbook about our wedding, and I would love some help from all over the world =) Anything goes, but please no cards about or with kids, we are not having any, our kids have 4 paws ;P
I will make that scrapbook public when it's done, and if I'm lucky I'll get the postcrossing team to give me a blog entry about it when it's ready, so that everyone that has helped can see the finished project =)

3: I am TOTALLY CHRISTMAS CRAZY and I LOVE getting christmas cards all year round. I use the cards to decorate my home in December, a nice way to use the cards I get for something except collecting them in an ever growing pile. So if you have a christmas card; PLEASE use it when you write me! Especially if you have one by Mauri Kunnas, my favorite artist, not just with christmas themed cards, but anything.

I also love cute animal cards, and colorful cards.

One of the best parts of postcrossing is to send and receive small gifts. I usually send out Norwegian stamps (we have very nice stamps), stickers, coins, pens, erasers, scrapbooking supply and so on to those that state that they collect them in their profile. If you feel like sending me something; stickers and scrapbooking supply is your best bet for making me insanely happy =) I also like stamps. I'm not a collector, but I have a project in the making that makes use of both new and used stamps with themes. So if you have some stamps just laying around, feel free to send them to me. Those I don't use myself will go to a collector.

Thanks for reading, and happy postcrossing!
