LiseBu

Hi there, I am Lisa and I live in Derbyshire, United Kingdom. I am an NVQ Health and Social Care Assessor and an Event Medic. I am married with 1 daughter (14).

I have been swapping for a number of years - through ATCS for All.com and had a very good reputation on there. I participated in and hosted many swaps. I came off that site when I became very ill and decided to take a break from crating.

I am a craftoholic - I love anything 'crafty'. I particularly enjoy ATCs, journals, altered art, scrapbooking, sewing, crocheting, rubber stamping etc, drawing, painting etc. I also make paper flowers and box frame crafts.

I have recently gone part time at work, this has left me with more time on my hands to do more crafting.

I love buttons, ribbons, vintage stuff, dies, brads, eyelets - I always put my all into anything I do and I would never send anything that I would not be happy to recieve myself.

I am a newly diagnosed coeliac - I am finding it quite hard to come to terms with at the moment, so I am hoping doing more crafting will help improve my mood.

If I sign up to something I will commit to it and ensure that I everything is sent in a timely manner - I do not like to let people down or disappoint in my work.

I like to receive constructive criticism and am thirsty for new ideas on how I can improve my work.

My favourite colours are pinks and purples - I love anything girly.

I look forward to swapping with you all.

I have a very varied taste in music, mainly depending on my mood and what I am doing at the time.

The artists I like are: Train, Bombay Bicycle Club, Ellie Goulding, Maroon 5, Ed Sheran, Paloma Faith, ABBA, Gregory Porter, Aloe Blacc, Sam Smith, George Ezra, London Grammar, Goldfrapp, James Blunt.

Music makes me happy and I find strength in music when I feel I need it.

I love anything and everything. I want to try everything.

My husband bought me a Sizzix Big Shot for Christmas but as yet I do not know how to use it. I have bought myself 1 die - so my selection is very limited, but I do intend to build my die collection (it will be slowly due to the price of them lol).

I like rubber stamping and embossing - I also like brads and eyelets - I think they can add a different dimensions to crafts.

I have just bought myself a la de dah journal and am really looking forward to completing that throughout the forth coming year.

I am a keen road cyclist and am currently in training for a 175 bike road from Coast to Coast to England.

I am also in training for a Tough Mudder endurance team race. Eeekk!! I have promising myself I will do one for years - but 2015 is my year.

I am an avid supporter of Sheffield Steelers Ice Hockey team and attend as many home and away matches as I can. I also follow the Anaheim Ducks.
