Shellir

About Shellir...

Hi, my name is Shell, it's short from Shellir. Certainly, I have a real name, but I almost forget it. The map in my profile asserts that I live in Russian capital, in the East with my boyfriend and a red cat named Ulyss.

I like receiving mail, riding, cooking, traveling, books, f.e old or illustrated fairy-tales, nature, stitchery, weaving, rpg and strategy computer games and much more.

Tell me something interesting in your postcard... what is your favorite song at the moment? Which book do you read? Do you have any pets? What hobbies do you have?
