I live in Australia with my hubby and young children (one boy 10yrs, one girl 7 yrs). Love: photography, travel, mail art, rubber stamps, theatre shows, movies, scrapbooks, handmade books, music, swimming, hiking, exploring new places, handmade envelopes, handwritten letters, stationery, ephemera, old doors, thrift and antique shopping, old photos & postcards....

The Cult, Lenny Kravitz, INXS, U2, George Michael, Joe Satriani, The Doors, Aerosmith, instrumental music (piano, sax, cello etc), soundtracks, movie scores, and music theatre.

Cast Away, Apollo 13, seems I tend to enjoy anything with Tom Hanks. On the comedy side, love Ben Stiller and Jim Carrey is always fun for a laugh.

Six Feet Under, Dexter, Law & Order SVU, Ghost Whisperer, True Blood, Big Bang Theory...

Rubber stamping, sewing, card making, journals, mini books, mail art, zines...

• Chocolate: especially Lindt, Toblerone & Cadbury.

• I prefer all postcards to be sent to me naked (unless it's a multiple postcard swap and they need to be sent together) Otherwise... I love the stamp, address and writing to be all on the postcard itself. :)

• LOVE well made handmade postcards created from anything. Cardstock, fabric, cardboard boxes, translucent materials... anything! Experiment, have fun!

Other postcards I love:

I rate as soon as possible after I receive your swap. If I haven't received a swap, I always send a message first before rating to see what may have happened. If you haven't received one of my swaps, please send me a message before rating. I always send my swaps and I'm happy to re-send if something does go astray.

Happy Swapping!!!
