Favorite Crafts

I love the idea of swapping ATCs from others around the world. I like any type of card as I feel that the beauty of the ATCs is the artists own interpretation of an idea or theme.

About Me

I live in New Zealand with my husband and two sons. I love skiing, mountain bike riding, swimming and most outdoors things. I work as an office manager for a small company (part time, while the kids are at school). I have travelled extensively around NZ and to alot of places around the world. One of my favourite places would have to be Maui in Hawaii. I just love it there!

Favorite Music

I have rather eclectic music taste. I especially like D-Dub music and grass roots music. New Zealand has alot of singers/bands who go back to their native Maori roots - it's great.

Llikes/Dislikes

I do not like to receive anything bad taste as I have two children who actively take an interest in the ATCs I receive. I also don't like cutsey animals etc (you know the rubber stamp images of rabbits dressed up in clothes etc).

Colours are wonderful. I have trouble deciding on my favourite colour. I love purple however end up mostly wearing black or red, but don't dislike any colour.

I read lots and belong to a book club where we meet once a month to discuss a book (which we have all had a copy of during the month to read). I nearly always have 2-3 books that I pick up and put down as the mood suits. I enjoy the book club because is allows me to read books that I might not necessarily have chosen for myself. I also belong to bookcrossing which if anyone is interested, is a great concept and can be found at www.bookcrossing.com.

Comment: I had actually heard of Kate Shepperd and knew NZ was the first to let women vote..I have a friend in NZ(via the internet for over 12 years) and she has told me some wonderful things about NZ..she is passionate about womens rights and was very proud to tell me about Kate Shepperd...That made me love your card even more because I had a bit of knowledge of it. Love the way you made the card with the picture frame..Thank you so much!!!!♥♥♥♥♥♥
Response: Thanks for your great comments. NZ in spite (or maybe rather because) of being a small country seems to be very forward in a number of human interest issues. There are obviously alot of ways we could still improve but we seem to be not afraid to take a controversial step sometimes. Thanks for the heart.

Response: Thanks I am really pleased you like it. The Scorpion is actually from a neat trick I found worked - temporary tattoo put onto paper. Great cheap way to get interesting pictures.

Thinking of you and wishing you a glorious summer!

In celebration of my 200 hearts...

I'm sending you hearts!

For all the hearts you've given,

The hearts someone forgot to give you,

And most of all,

For all the heart you put into your art!

Love & Light,

Le Papillon Vert

Glad you love all the ATCs that I have made, I take my swap seriously and I hate "flaker". If you want some more ATCs from me, please let me know and we could do private swap again, anytime.

Cheers

I hope you and your family didn't get hurt in the earthquake. My prayers are with everyone there.
