Hi swappers !
My name is Delphine, I am a woman of 50.
I live in France, just next to Bordeaux city, with my boyfriend ('old boyfriend' as we know each other for 28 years now !) We are the human friends of 1 lady cat Moumoune.
My job is quite time consuming (I work as a sales assistant) and I would like to have more time to go around, take more pictures, travel, do some more mail art and scrapbooking ! I also like home decoration and vintage furniture.

For me, the best in life is to be curious and open minded, that is why I love discovering and travelling. Swapping is a good way to discover also.

This is a quote I like :
Above all, we are coming to understand that the arts incarnate the creativity of a free people. When the creative impulse cannot flourish, when it cannot freely select its methods and objects, when it is deprived of spontaneity, then society severs the root of art. - John F. Kennedy

My favorite hobby is scrapbooking/junkjournaling and I really appreciate mail art, it is so fun to be creative !

For my scrapbooking, I like to try to recycle coasters, bottles caps, maps, tiny stuff I can find. The type of paper I prefer is brown kraft paper, decorated or not. I really like mail art too.

I am used to swap with French people and I am interested in swapping with people around the world too. I see that on Swap-Bot many persons have the same kind of thinking as me : it is fun and I like this ! I always take the time to read the different profiles to get interesting information on the person I am swapping with.

I'd like to swap different kind of things but mostly tea now. I have a bunch of scrapbook items and ephemeras that I would be happy to share with you as I rarely scrap now. Anyway, I stilI love to collect unused air mail envelops and air mail related items as stickers/labels.

The scrapbooking pages I used to make were usually colored (my favorite colors are turquoise blue, fuschia, metallic grey) but with black letters/typo. I also like black and white pictures.

I do not collect specific postcards but I am keen on receiving mail in general (since I am a kid in fact !) I like photographies nature views, cats (big or small !), white and black pictures.

*** Please, do not send items with babies, Disney or Fantasy. I am not found of things like Hello Kitty or Disney for example, nor religious things.***

I am a tea drinker (all organic green tea, tea with red berry fruits in sealed tea bags) but please, do not send me any tea bags which are not correctly sealed as I will not use them. Just in case, I do NOT appreciate camomilla)

I like to cook, especially chinese dishes with soya sauce+noodles+marinated meat all shaked into a wok pan ! I like to hike in the nature and ride my bike when it is sunny but not too hot. But I also appreciate to walk into cities, just to contemplate what is around me...

I like to listen to various types of music from pop, rock, electro music, except maybe heavy-metal.

I can watch different kind of programs on TV. I like Two and a half men (in France, the translation is My uncle Charly), Friends, nature and home decoration programs. 5 minutes of Nascar race sometimes is fine for me to get the adrenaline rush. I also like romantic comedies. The movie I hate, hate, hate is Project Blairwitch (the atmosphear of I am Legend makes me suffocate also)

Happy to be a part of Swap-Bot and ready to swap with you !
