Hi...I'm a 34yo mother of 2 boys aged 15 and 6 and love to craft whenever they give me a chance.

I'm an Indigenous Australian and I love my people and culture and sharing it with others.

At the moment I'm living in a city called Adelaide in South Australia, although I'm originally from the town of Cairns, in Queensland.

I'm a girly girl and I love all thing vintage, and by that I mean from the 40's to early 70's.

For swaps involving aprons, clothing etc, I am a size sml/med

I re-use all of my packaging so please don't be offended if the packaging I send you has been around the block a few times (just trying to do my bit for the environment).

PS - I take pics of my swaps and upload them to my flickr account when I've posted, please don't look if you don't want to see what I am sending you :)

I love getting my swaps together and always make sure I read your profile before I do as I want to be certain it's something you would absolutely love.

Because most of my swaps will be international I will try to get my packages out before the send date to avoid any delays.
I'm not sure how to give peace of mind to fellow swappers about flaking but I will take photos of all swaps and keep my receipts.
I will send out every swap I'm involved in and hope you all do the same.

If for some reason you do not receive the swap please message me and I will be more than willing to resend.
If you have any concerns or questions please message me asap.

I will always rate you as soon as I open the parcel and will rate fairly, please extend the same courtesy.

Thank You and happy swapping!!
