ButtonsAndBows

Hi - I'm Sandra and am a mum of two small kids (Mr 4 and Miss 3). I have a wonderful husband and we live in Brisbane, Australia.

Scrapbooking and card making; Beading - making jewellery; Sewing; I love bling, buttons, ribbons, metallic paints papers and card, butterflies, flowers, glitter in glue, stamps and stamping, felt, 3d stickers and effects.

Travelling - when the budget can afford it :); Cooking for Fun; Language learning - German and Italian currently, and a bit of Swedish; We love to go to the beach for weekends or longer and also like to go bushwalking.

Chocolate - milk choc, with coconut, chewy caramel, nuts (not walnuts or pecans). Not with alcoholic fillings.

Dinner - fresh made pasta and wood fired pizza- YUM (this is a bit of a hangover from our recent trip to Italy);

Wine - almost anything that's red, in a white I like a semillon sauvignon, also like port and chocolate liquers.

I love trying new salad dressings, chutneys and ice cream toppings.

Don't drink tea or coffee.

Love sweet desserts and icecreams. Chocolatey ones or berry ones are my favourite, though my favourite winter dessert would be sticky date pudding and caramel sauce with vanilla icecream! YUM - this is making me hungry!!

Can't remember the last time I read a novel, but I do like mystery, romance (but not soppy), international kids books (German and Italian abaout 10-15 years), Swedish (about 3-5 years) not epics or war novels. Love doing crosswords - soduku, cryptic, general knowledge - I'll try anything!

Also love jigsaw puzzles, esp those IMPOSSIBLES - no straight border, extra pieces, only a part of the puzzle shown in the picture.

Stuff from the 80s and 60s mainly, some newer stuff too (and probably older!) - ABBA, Beatles, Eagles - I'm sure there's more than that ;) , mainly easy listening, rock and roll, NOT heavy metal, rap, hip hop.

Clothes, Bags and Shoes tend to be: Black, White, Navy, Red, Turquiose, Chocolate. (Nothing dusty or orange, yellow, lime) Scrapping tends to be: pink (for little miss) and reds and blues (for little mr). I know I must try some other colour combos though. I like mostly brights and not dull and dusty, NOT orange, yellow.

Please don't send me anything religious, sexually explicit, political or gory.
