About Me

I am 42 years old. Live in the suburb of Mount Maunganui in a city called Tauranga in New Zealand. I moved to New Zealand 5 years ago from South Africa with my partner Dominick, we married on 21st April 2011. My husband has Multiple Sclerosis, which he manages very well (fingers crossed). We have no children. We DO have a furbaby, a male cat called Kwali, who is like a child to us and is very spoilt. I dont smoke or drink alcohol (just dont have a taste for either). I do love chocolate, mmmmmmmm.

I have recently started making jewellery out of vintage/old children's book. I love it, I have to admit I am probably a little addicted to do it. But I have been selling them, so at least I can make more :-D

And I luuuuuuuuurrrrrvvveee skulls. Any kind of skulls, cute skulls, scary skulls, pirate skulls, funny skulls, skelanimals, you find a skull and I will like it.

I also love science fiction and fantasy books and movies. And am an avid PS3 gamer.

Spring is my favour time of the year, just between the cold of winter and the heat of summer.

I drink all beverages all the time, depending on the weather and what I feel like. My favourite beverage would have to be Chai tea or a chai latte. Mmmmm. Im not a fan of strong plain coffees, but I love the flavoured stuff like hazelnut, mocha etc, as long as its sweet I like it. I do drink tea too, Rose flavoured being my fav, english breakfast, Earl Grey, vanilla, black teas mostly. And hot choc is good. My favourite movies are: Avatar, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Kungfu Panda, Pirates of the Carribean series.

Im a bit of a Harry Potter fan, I have all the books and one day hope to have extended versions of the movies on DVD.

I am part of Postcrossing too, and I love it. One of the ladies I received a postcard from mentioned Swap-bot, thats how I came to be here. I never thought I would love swapping soooo much....

My favourite colours are: Dark blues, dark purples, dark pinks, dark greens, reds and black.

I would love to do private PC swaps.

Favourite Stuff

I LOVE Big Bang Theory. I think Sheldon is just the greatest!

Chocolates - I like anything exept fruit centred or mint centred ones.

Teas - Chai, rose, black

Flavoured hot drinks (hot choc, hazlenut coffee etc)

Fairies - PCs, cards, stickers, paper, bookmarks, absolutely anything fairy related

Skelanimals/skulls - also absolutely anything

Iron Fist

Bumblebees

Geisha

Asian Art

Ancient and old Asian buildings & temples

Space

Dislikes

I dont like receiving PCs that are a cut out from a cereal box or some other random thing. I only send out store bought PCs so I kind of expect to receive store bought or very nicely hand made/art PCs. I will give a 3 if I get a PC cut out from some random box you got out of your kitchen cupboard.

I am not religeous, so please dont sent me relegeous or spiritual stuff.

PCs Im looking for

Anything about Japan

Fairies

Animated/drawn skulls & skeletons

Space or sci-fi

Old temples, world wonders, monumental buildings/places

Beautiful sceneries

Erupting volcanoes/dramatic weather scenes

Anime

Harry Potter/Avatar/Lord of the Rings

Big Bang Theory (if there are any)

Diablo 3

Black and white of actresses from late 1800 to 1950s (doesn't have to be vintage)

Comment: Thanks for the card. I've never been on a snowboard so I guess I'm vintage too.
