Hello my fellow postcrosser and welcome to my profile!

I'm a tattooed, 32 years old girl from Finland. My favorite colors are lime green and chocolate brown, and I mean that bright, hurting-your-eyes type of lime green. I like rustic and old stuff like lanterns and furniture, and I like to go shopping at flea markets. You never know what you'll find!

I'm a big animal lover; I have a dog, three cats and a fish tank at home. My dog is mixbreeded puppy (yorkshire terrier and tibetan spaniel mix) and my cats are just regular house cats (one grey spotted longhaired boy, one grey and white boy and a calico girl).

My hobbies (besides postcrossing) are taking long walks with my dog, reading, watching movies, drawing, photography and crafting; making jewelry and cards and I'm now starting to sew again. One doggie coat done! Yay!

Besides the animals, I love nature and all of its seasons. Though autumn and winter rocks. The cold Finnish winters are just awesome. After a long walk in the crispy winter weather, I like to make myself a cup of good tea to warm myself up and snuggle with my pets under a blanket. I'm also a HUGE christmas person, so you can send me a christmas card in the middle of summer if you want to.

Don't know what card to send? Here's some tips to help you;

- My favorite festival is Christmas, so Christmas cards are welcomed pretty much all year round.
- Birthday cards in April are welcomed.
- I absolutely loooove butterflies, so if you find a card with butterfly on it, that's perfect.
- All kinds of birds; swans, owls, peacocks, hummingbirds, eagles, all those little birds around the world and even crows!
- Wildlife; foxes, wolves, bears, squirrels... Bugs! Dragonflies and beetles are cool. Ants or something similar not so much.
- Other animals; Dogs, cats, horses etc. Even chickens and cows (So any animal card you pick is perfect). Illustrated animals are welcomed too, like Jetoy cat, the colours of them are usually just amazing.
- Nature; Show me the beautiful nature around you.
- Fantasy and fairytale art; Elves, dragons, fairytale animals etc.
- Anime and manga; My favorites are Full Metal Alchemist and Ginga Nagareboshi Gin. But everything will do.
- Old disney; Old style mickey, minnie, donald etc.
- Old Coca-Cola cards would be awesome to have. (Coca-Cola and Santa: spot on)
- Old cars and motorcycles.
- Keep calm and...
- Suomalaiset postcrossaajat; Annika Hiltusen kortit tai Milla Paloniemen kiroileva siili kortit ovat erittäin tervetulleita. :)

And if I should pick something I'm not too keen with;
- Cards with kids on them.
- Ships, boats or trains. Titanic would be the exception, that's one cool ship!
- Religious cards (though I've seen very beautiful angel cards and some churches/cathedrals are gorgeous).

I hope this opened up a little bit of me to you and picking up the card is a little easier, but don't mind if you don't have a card that suits my profile, every card is cherished. :)

Happy postcrossing!
