Goetterblume

Hi there :-) My name is Josi, I am 38 years old and I live in Germany.

I had to pause my hobbies penpalling, journaling and just interacting with other people and dealing with deadlines as my mental health took a bad turn on me and I wanted to wait until I am stable enough to be a responsible swapper again. And I guess the time has come :) I am finally feeling good enough and I have this tingle in my hands, I want to be creative again! And I want to interact with others again!

If we are swap-partners and you haven't received my mail, please conract me!

As a member of the snail mail community I love decorating letters or envelopes and make some little crafts like flipbooks or wallets and I do love making pocket letters, but I haven't received one yet. I am always searching for new inspiration and ideas.

I enjoy working with die cuts or washi stickers, flake stickers or sticker sheets and of course paper, paper, paper 😅 there can't be enough paper. I do love making my own envelopes using old children books or 30x30 paper.

I like all kinds of stationary. I am a huge fan of washi stickers and die cuts (everything is beautiful and usefull), writing paper, paper in all forms and sizes, sticker flakes, postcards with themes I like (preferably written).

I am also a member of the postcrossing community 😊 and I like to decorate my cards with washi tape and stickers. I don't make my own cards yet, but perhaps in the future 😊

To make it easier for you, if you just scrolled down here, I made you a little list 😅 no hard feelings here! I know I tend to write to much 🙈

I enjoy:

📃I would appreciate some recommendations for books or music :) I am always looking for new inspiration!

I used to love all kinds of movies and TV-Shows like Fantasy, crime, thriller, rom-coms, etc. But there was a shifting in my likings. I got in touch with the asian market and I am in love with their cinematic universe and it is so difficult to come back to western media. There are so many fantastic k-dramas and I don't have enough time in this life to watch everything on my to-watch-list. Besides the usual k-drama, I love the sub-genre bl from the different countries. I started with thai bls and made my way through all of asia and every country has its own style and I am just in love with them! They make me feel good and safe and I am happy to be part of a very healthy community on tumblr.

I really like books. I have to be in the right mood for a book. I tend to start a book and realise I am not in the right mod for this book. After a cute queer lovestory I might feel like enjoying a fantasy novel next.

Of course I am a huge fan of Harry Potter! I loved the books and the movies and the whole magical world around it :-) every year around christmas I watch the movies again :-) the perfect time for me.

And I love 'The Neverending Story'. As a child I had a cassette with the audiobook. Fantasia is just a wonderful place where everything lives in a state of balance and everyone is loved by the childlike empress equaly :-)

I have a huge bookshelf and I love to decorate it with crafts and goodies I get from my penpals and swap-partners :)

I am a huge fan of K-Pop and J-Pop, especially the boybands like Ateez, TXT, Day6, Omega X, Oneus, Yuuri, The Rose, Stray Kids, Seventeen, The Boyz, FTIsland and many more. I would be happy about recommendations 🥰

You've made it! Thank you so much for reading my profile 💖 And if we are swap-partners, thank you in advance for the things you are going to send me!
