About Me

I have been addicted to crafts / Arts for more years than my cupboards can bear. I am married with 2 children in their late teens and am only working part time so am making the most of my free time to turn bits into creations. I am loving the opportunities Swap-bot offers to see what others are doing craftwise. Sites such as this have given me a whole new perspective on my stash and I can't wait to see what other people are creating for ATC's, altered journals, matchboxes (still to discover what that is!) and get inspired. Cheers

Favorite Music

Love things you can work by - robby williams and rob thomas to get the creative juices going, neil diamond for finishing the details, shakirra for mopping the floor!

Favorite Books

I am a loyal reader - Jane Austen and yep Harry Potter! Mostly though I love to look at the pictures inspirational craft books... I am a visual learner and rarely read the instructions unless forced too!!

Favorite Movies

I have my favourite comfortable movies - Pride and Prejudice most Sandra Bulloch movies - generally light hearted escapist stuff! although I loved Shawshank Redemption.

Favorite Television

With TV I like stargate(s), Ghost Whisperer and mysteries like Silent Witness, Blood on the Wire, Criminal Minds and CSI. ie tv with a plot.

Favorite Crafts

Folk art was my love for many years interspersed with patchwork. They now share equal billing with scrapbooking, card making and creative machine embroidery.

Just favourites!

II love cutting and glueing, all paper-arts, card making, scrapbooking, altered books, etc. I love really busy, textural, creative pieces - probably because I am a bit of a neat minimalistic artist but am endeavouring to overcome that!

I love vintage items and sepia colours, strong contrasts such as black & white themes. I like flowers, vintage, fairies and angels, and christmas. I am not too keen on 'cute'.

I delight in all types of book - concertina, altered, and chipboard and have become addicted to chunky pages and books and am willing to trade at any time!!

I also collect stamps so if you have any with a festive, floral or fauna theme then please put them on your envelope for me to enjoy too!

Earning a heart from me is simple - make an extra something in the swap's theme - Atc or chunky welcomed! I love seeing the results of other people's creativity. I prefer not to receive stickers as an extra although I don't mind so much if they are 3 dimensional or transparent. I love words so rub ons welcome.

If you are feeling particularly generous I would love to receive a matchbox or dottee!!

Comment: Thankyou for the lovely ATCs, I love the cracker ATC with the animals, I brought some of these ATC cards with the flaps but couldn't find them, I wanted to try them out they are really lovely and i like the extras especialy the ribbon.
Response: Glad you liked the cards - the flap ones I made because I saw a swap that had them as the theme so thought I'd give it a go and the cracker is cut out of a christmas card I got last year! I'm always looking to try something new. Thanks for the heart cheers K
