About Me

I first discovered Pocket Letters in 2016 on Janette Lane's website www.pocketletter.com. I loved the idea of penpals via craft and have become active on her website since. Also into sustainability, so love recycling. Have made PLs using Travel Brochures, Postcards, Cereal Box, etc. In 2017 made 5 Christmas themed PLs using previous years Christmas cards, cutting out the cutest pics from the cards and incorporating them into the PL. Worked a treat! Love experimenting with Mixed Media, using the Gel Press, watercolours, stamping. Making lots of cards for birthdays and special occasions.

We have a gorgeous Rhodesian Ridgeback, she is 9yrs old. She is our baby. A gentle soul. Always hungry for food.

Likes: Everything. Easy to please. Dislikes: None

Favourite colour: Orange

Favorite Music

Any Australian music: Cold Chisel, Deborah Conway, Joe Camilleri, Australian Crawl, Richard Clapton ... lots from the 70s, 80s etc.

Favorite Books

Action and Thriller. Current favorite is an Australian author: Matthew Reilly. He has a series of books with his main characters. Recommend you read the first books of each series before getting into the rest. Dan Brown books are amongst my favorites. Winnie the Pooh for the characters wisdom.

Favorite Crafts

Paper craft, making cards and Pocket Letters! Mixed Media, Pastels, Watercolour, Distress Inks, Gell Printing.

I have it hanging in my room for inspiration. maybe I will hold a holiday card shaker swap or something once the website lets me post things again!
