I live in Australia with my husband and young children (one boy 12yrs, one girl 9 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, Adele, Adam Lambert, U2, George Michael, Joe Satriani, The Doors, instrumental music (piano, sax, cello etc), soundtracks, movie scores, and music theatre... love all kinds of music!

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

Game of Thrones, Six Feet Under, Dexter, Law & Order SVU, True Blood, Deal or No Deal!

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

Love to collect or receive:

• Zippered fabric coin purses. I travel a lot and these come in really handy!
• Patterned Fat Quarters (or any size fabric) - Thrifted or new - either is fine!
• 8" square flannel pieces of fabric (I love making rag quilts, either patterned or plain pieces are welcome! I'd love to do a complete quilt of all random colours and patterns)
• old tissue sewing patterns (any condition. I just use them for craft, not really as a pattern, so it does not need to be complete)
• original black & white photographs - especially sent as postcards (with no envelope)
• old door keys and locks
• Small pin back badges (buttons)

• Fav Colours: olive green, red, black, white, earthy colours like rust & amber, neutral colours like cream & brown. Love other colours too, but those are my faves.

• Slams and Label Bags. I swap these regularly here on Swap-Bot and with other swappers around the world. You're welcome to send any excess you need to pass on. I prefer high quality question slams and my daughter loves sticker slams. Any slam type is welcome though!

• I prefer all postcards to be sent to me naked (unless it's a multiple new 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!

• Also love receiving blank unused postcards that I can use for postcrossing and other swaps on Swap-Bot! (Please send in an envelope)

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!!!
