About Me

PLEASE NOTE: I am a long way down under in Australia. So if you dont get something from me, pleeeeease contact me first, the snail mail system isnt foolproof!

I am enjoying this too much to be flaker, and would not flake on anyone, so dont flake on me, please!

Also, I worry about my swaps not arriving, and the only way I know they have reached their destination is when I get a rating (hint, hint!!!)

I am a fifty sumthing female, French originally, spent my childhood in exotic places and now living in beautiful Perth, Western Australia. Have done most crafts in my life, as my cupboards can attest. Now scrapbooking 5 decades worth of photos into a legacy, I hope...

I love: food, wine, sunsets over the ocean from my balcony, the colour blue, butterflies, flowers and horses... in particular my lovely Welsh foal Bryn (short for Brynderwyn) born 14 October 2007. Sadly, his Dam, my beautiful Bessie, went to the Big Paddock in May '08.

I love receiving blank ATC's and scraps of pretty paper, especially japanese or marbled!

Dont really like: things that are too "cute" eg kawaii, or Hello Kitty, except of course fabric for my Blythe girls!

Also, Australia has very strict quarantine regulations to protect our agriculture, so seeds, foodstuff, etc, maybe confiscated!

Favorite Music

Classic Rock, Blues, Jazz, Acoustic, some classical.

Favorite Movies

On Golden Pond, The Sound of Music. My latest movie: Martin Scorcese's Shine a Light, about the Rolling Stomes. mmm Mick still has that X factor for me!

Favorite Television

Dont watch much TV, but I do enjoy British Comedies. I also have a good laugh watching Judge Judy make stupid people look, well, stupid!

Favorite Crafts

Scrapbooking, ATC's, knitting and cross stitch, and I love making funky clothes for my Blythe girls. Past crafts include leatherwork, macrame, wool spinning, patchworking, stained glass and porcelain doll making.

Comment: Thank you for the ATC! The holder/card you sent it in is very neat. Where did you find it?
Response: It is just a blank card. I cut slits with a craft knife so I can slip in the ATC. I find it good when a swap is 1 ATC only, and it allows me to send it at the "Card Only" rate, about 70 cents cheaper. The australian postage to the States has just gone up to $2 standard letter!

Comment: Your 8's are fantastic! Cutting an eight out of one paper and gluing it on another paper and stamping on them. I found it quite innovative and will probably copy your technique in future endeavors. Awesome!

hia Maddy, thank you for the lovely quote Atc, it is beautiful.and thanks for the lovely note. Your horses are beautiful, Bryn is a popular name here, I have a couple of friends with that name, and dear they are too! If translated literally, well i think, it means a small hill (we have plenty of hills here!). Thank you again, a real delight, and hope to swap with you again. x
