Hey there! I'm Ebony, a 26 year old Australian female. I'm also a very happily married newlywed (Sept 2007)! My husband and I have no children yet, but we do have two very naughty dogs who demand all of our attention! I lived in Japan for a year from mid-2006 to mid-2007 so I love anything with a Japanese / Asian theme. I love anything creative, but my biggest passion is scrapping of any kind. I'm only relatively new to Swap-Bot, but I think I'm getting the hang of it! I'm definitely enjoying it! :)

I mainly love pop, country, jazz, and blues. Kind of depends what kind of mood I'm in - I either want to chill out and listen to something mellow, or I want to put on a beat and dance around the house! I've always got music playing in the background, and lavender oil burning when I'm scrapping - it helps get the creative juices flowing!

I absolutely love reading. In fact, I've given myself a challenge to read 50 books this year. So far I've read 40. So I might still make it! I'll generally read anything, but I love novels by Haruki Murakami, Sophie Kinsella, Paullina Simons, Marian Keyes, and Jodi Picoult.

As mentioned above, I love love love scrapbooking. It's a huge passion of mine. Whether it be scrapping pages, cards, ATC's or beyond-the-page. I love it all! I will always send my swaps before the deadline, and if for whatever reason I'm running behind, I will communicate with you to let you know. If you haven't received a swap from me in the mail, please contact me before you give me negative feedback, as sometimes I don't trust Australia Post!!! I put a lot of effort into the things I swap, and I do expect the same in return, as it's only fair. As well as group swaps, I'm more than happy to participate in private swaps of any creative kind - so if you're interested, let me know! :)

• ATC's
