Tatuhi

Hi, nice to meet you! I'm 57 years old, a mother of 2 children: 29 years old daughter and 27 years old son. We have a dog named Tatu, his breed is Mittelspitz and he is very cute :)

I enjoy gardening, nature, knitting and postcrossing. I also love to collect maxicards, FDCs and stamps.

I was a chairperson for the Finnish Postcrossing Friends Association in 2020-2023. You can read more about it here:
