I was diagnosed kidney cancer and now I'm recovering from the surgery. Thank you so much to all of you who have sent me happy mail :)

We are a married couple from Finland. We both are the same age... soon 70 years old. We have a grown up daughter @Johkup who introdused this site to us. And she's our "translator". We are so excited to swap nice things and treats with you :)

My (Raija) birthday is the one that shows on the profile and my husband Seppo was born in April.

Cats are near our hearts. We have now 2 cats, red tabbys called Viljami and Einari. Viljami is a little tiger... well not so little! Adorable cat. Now he has a friend, smaller version of him. We've had cats for 30 years. Can't live without them!

We like to walk in the nature, dance, read magazines, do crossword puzzles.

We like mostly Finnish TV programms, news, documents etc. TV is not our main focus at home...

We are interested in card making, ATCs, drawing, painting but mainly postcard and some parcel swaps.

It would be nice to swap different goodies like candy, chocolate, coffee, snacks from other countries :) We have no allergies. And some crafts and postcards. Postcards are also our hobby especially touristy, animals, nature, flowers and all beautiful pictures. Anything that brightens the day :) Also animal related swaps interest us like cat treats and toys.

• Postcards

• Cat related items

We will always send our swaps and rate what we get. If we misunderstand some swap and send something that's not what was supposed to send please let us know so we can make it up to you! English is not our native language.

Happy swapping!

If you have something important or urgent to ask/tell me you'd better message my daughter @Johkup She is more online and helps me with these swaps. But of course I like to get messages too :)

If you could write something in our language, finnish, that would be great ;) Something we would understand for sure! You can ask @Johkup to help you if you want and Google translator is great help.
