About Me

I am doing this swapping because I like to bring a smile on my partners face so if something went wrong, you don't like the swap or the swap was sent but has not arrived at your place (belgian postoffices are sometime gggrrrr!) please let me know and I gladly will resent ... If you are sending a swap to me and you will be late or have problems just let me know and we'll find a solution I'm sure about that ! I know a lot of things can happen in life and make it sometimes difficult ... we're just good friends aren't we ?!!!!

I am living in belgium, my native is Dutch. I am happily married for allmost 37 years with Berre and we have two wonderful daughters Sara and Liesbet. My oldest daughter Sara decided to step out off life a short while ago, she was 30 then, I feel still a lot of pain but I accepted it! I am a catlover ... we have two (Javanelleke he is coffee with milk coloured and Jens a little red one) ! I am a proffessor at the social high school but at the moment I am a SAHM because I am fighting against cancer and am going through a bad time ... butI hope to survive and win the battle!

Live wasn't easy the last few years ... I am trying to win the fight with cancer and my oldest daughter took suicide ... she was 30. it is not easy to live with all those thongs but I try to be happy with very little things. I enjoy life and the contact with many different swappers from all over ... hope I meet you in a swap soon! I will do my best to make it a wonderful swap for you ... that's a promise! ♥♥♥

Favorite Crafts

I love to be creative ... cross stitch - scrapbooking - making cards - knitting (esp socks (lol)) and much much more! I write poems ...

Favorite Music

I love the beatles and the rolling stones ... both are great groups (lol) My husband is a real beatlesfan and has a very big collection with vinyl, memorablia, books, cd's ... so if anyone from anywhere would like to do a swap with me and change anything beatlesrelated you're more than welcome! I am allways happy with a beatlesitem offcourse ... here in Belgium it is very hard to find!

I also love Bob Dylan, jimi hendrickx, U2,Clouseau, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Julien Clerc and many more musicians ...

I don't like to see movies ... sometimes a musical I cap appreciate ! Last musical I saw was 'across the universe'

things I like

I love to travel and see other countries and cultures (but at this moment this is impossible, I am to sick)... I have a big collection of postcards from all over the world (I specially love mapcards and lighthouses, holiday cards, coca cola) ... prefer to receive the postcards new and unwritten, no stamp on it and sent in an envelop.

I also like reading, making poems, making photographs and computering!

I also love winter and snowmen and pinguin !

favorite colors

I am addicted to pink and purple

things I would like to swap

kitchen towels, socks, materials for cardmaking or scrapping, DMC threads, handmade cards, candels, tea, coffee, chocolate (yammie we in Belgium have very good chocolate (lol)) ... also looking for some real good penfriends for longlasting penfriendships via snail mail ! themed postcards : maps - lighthouses - cats - ladybugs - beatles or stones - animals in general - historical buildings - christmascards - halloween and eastercards

I also like stationary and notecards (jan vis - diddl - sanrio - hello kitty - suzy's zoo - cats - lady bugs - music - ...)

I am also addicted to cross stitch - like any aida or evenweave - dmc threads - patterns - cross stitch magazines (old and new ones)

I also like lipbalsem - earrings - socks - chocolate and candy - handmaded cards and postcards - ...

Oh this is so so difficult ... I think I love every little present gaven and chosen with love!

Comment: Hoi Janien, Bedankt voor de bijzondere thee smaken. Ik ben vooral benieuwd naar de thee met koffie smaak. De ansichtkaart is ook erg leuk. Middelkerke ligt niet zo ver van Cadzand 😀 English: Thanks for the special tea flavours. I'm especially curious about the tea with coffee flavours. I like the postcard from Middelkerke aswell. It's not that far from Cadzand 😀
Response: dankje ... hoop dat je het lekker vindt! / Thanks hope you'll like the tea!

Welcome back! Sending love and light and a friendship request.

Hugs!

ArtsyEm on Apr 9, 2018:

Hi there! You don't know me, but I heard that you have had a rough year and wanted to say hello and let you know that although your rating went down, I'm happy to allow you in any swaps I might host. Is there anything you'd like to see? Let me know!

squince on Apr 9, 2018:

Hello! So sorry to read about your daughter, and you with cancer. Hang in there! You've got friends here! <3

Poohtat on Apr 6, 2018:

Just wanted to stop by and say hello. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hé Janien, Nog heel erg bedankt voor de nagekomen post! Er was toch niks mis met de uil-kaart? Het was enkel een gevouwen kaart, maar daar heb ik niet zoveel problemen mee, hoor! Reuze bedankt ook voor de extra kaarten! Tot in een volgende swap misschien! Lieve groet van Ellen (en een fijn weekend!)

Hi Janien! I was your partner in "make my day" swap. I hope you are better and I wish you can back to swap. A big hug for you and your daughter. Lorena (Winnita)

xine on Feb 26, 2009:

I hope Janien recovers and that the person who gave a three rating read the profile and reconsider. I praise the fortitude of Lies, for staying strong. In light of the circumstances it would have been understandable if she just abandon due swaps or ask someone else to angel but despite the emotional and financial burden they are in she is trying her best. I agree with Sara, people should stop rating her ones and three and be a little patient. I would like to think that the underlying purpose of swapbot is to create friendships. Please show consideration for Janien and Lies. -xine
