Hello, friends!

I come from Western Pennsylvania in the USA. I spend half of my time in Pittsburgh, and the rest in Athens, Greece.

You have the freedom to send the cards you like to send! It makes me sad to see long lists of demands not to send this, that, or the other thing. If you need ideas for cards to send, see my interests and wishes below. I appreciate the time and effort that goes into each and every card that I receive, so a big THANK YOU in advance!

When you write, can you tell me something about yourself? Tell me anything that is on your mind. Here are a few ideas if you can't think of anything:

* Tell me something about your mother or grandmother.
* Tell me about a food that is strange, but delicious
* Tell me something that you worry about often.

I love stamps! Multiple stamps, especially ones that relate to my interests, will make me happy all day. Envelopes are OK, too - your choice.

MY INTERESTS:
- Folk crafts, musical instruments, decorative arts, folk skills, tools, & techniques
- Geometry, decorative arts and patterns, islamic art, symmetry in nature, spirals, geodesic domes, origami, mathematical beauty
