About Pirjo-Liisa...

I am 42-years old and married. I´ve got two children, a daughter (14) and a son (11).I live in Kuopio, a town with about 90 000 inhabitants, rather in the middle of Finland.

Reading is one of my favourite hobbies. I also like making and trading ATC-cards, listening to music, watching movies and Nordic walking. I collect many things; stamps (only mint), bookmarks, ATCs and of course, postcards.

I love foreign countries and English is my favourite language. Right now I´m studying Spanish and it´s a difficult language, but a lot of fun! I´ve also studied Swedish and French, but I´m afraid, I´ve forgotten all about them.

I like animals, especially dogs. We´ve had two German shepherds, but at the moment we haven´t got a dog.

I like many kinds of postcards but, please: DO NOT send me view cards unless they are from the places on the list below. I don´t collect them and don´t do anything with them. Anything else goes, but I´d be especially delighted to receive a card presenting:
- Alice in Wonderland, especially the new Tim Burton-movie
- Twilight (with Edward, you can see my collection in my Flickr-album, link below)
- dogs (German shepherd, dalmatian or any dog at work)
- fairies, dragons or other fantasy-characters
- Disney: fairies, 101/102 dalmatians, Lady and the Tramp, Pirates of the Caribbean, Alice in Wonderland, Mary Poppins, The Nightmare before Christmas Notice: No Donald Duck and other citizens of Duckburg for me, please!
- an illustration from some children´s book or movie( especially Astrid Lindgren, Elsa Beskow, Roald Dahl, Brothers Grimm, HC Andersen, Wizard of OZ, Narnia, Harry Potter, LOTR...)
- books or reading (no reading animals, please!)
- Johnny Depp
- London-singleview (not only the sights, but also other London-specialities like a bobby, a doubledecker, a taxi, the underground, a beefeater...)
- Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA (something typical for the country; an animal, a plant, some famous building or place, the flag, native people, scenery etc.)
- Ancient Egypt; pyramids, the sphinx, faraos, mummies etc. (no viewcards!)
- Russian mathryoska/ nesting dolls (you can see my collection in my Flickr-album, link below)
- Flavia Romantics- quote cards (in Finnish or in English, if they do exist, I´ve only seen them in Finnish, the text Flavia Romantics reads on the back of the card, you can see my collection in my Flickr-album, link below)
- European Robin, the bird (only realistic images with the bird as the main thing, can be drawn or a photo)
- Kalevala
- murteet

Here are some of my favourites and my own collections on Flickr and Picasa. More of my favourites can be found on my postcards wall.

PS: If you´re sending me a card from my wishlist and it doesn´t cost you more, I prefer the card sent in an envelope and unwritten.
