My Story

June 2012 Slowly starting to swap again. Had fun taking photos with Ernie the Envelope.

17 December 2011 Working as a mentor and learner assistant at the Southern Regional College. Still tutoring privately and selling Usborne Books......

14 March 2011 I am the process of starting my own business - but i am still around - just taking things slowly. If all goes well I may even start doing postal swaps again :)

9 September - , just spent some time rating swaps - if I have missed you its not on purpose, please send a message and I will respond.

================================================== I am proudly South African now living in Northern Ireland. My friend Ruth from Australia introduced me to swapping. My first swap was a Knitting Coffee swap hosted by Knittymama (http://knittymama.com/).It was great fun - but a bit expensive and South African postage took long. I wanted to continue swapping but in a less stressful manner.Knittymama recommended Swap-Bot. That is how I got here.

What I love about swapping is being challenged to do new things, doing things in a different way, recognizing others creativity and visa versa. I do it to be inspired, to grow as a person and to meet new people. I have enjoyed making new friends, e-mail pals and Blog friends.

Interests

Health, exercise, Digital Scrapbooking, Photography,blogging,knitting, children's crafts, baking, books, music, spirituality, psychology, education, traveling (only been out of SA four times (5 places in Africa) and off the continent twice.)Love road trips and camping, explored a lot of South Africa.

Personal Growth issues. I love reading and writing poetry. Movement (Brain Gym,Belly Dance etc...)

What should you know about me

Favorite symbol: Butterfly Favorite colour: Blue (all shades, hues etc...) Favorite Authors: Martha Beck (I own three of her books)and Leslie Kenton (own 2 of her books). Favourite places: Waterfalls, Forest Rivers, Library, coffee shops. Favourite flavors: coffee, vanilla, French vanilla, Irish cream (I miss that milk from the USA - loved making non-alcoholic coffee),ginger, honey bush, caramel fudge, mint, lavender (lovely in short bread), Durban Indian curries. Fragrances: lavender, sea, rose, magnolias,spring and summery types (dislike musk).

I participate in postal and electronic swaps. I prefer electronic swaps because of the cost factor and disappointment of not receiving something is less painful.

I will try most things at least once.

I have one daughter( turned 8 on 13 February 2009) and I have been married for 9 years.

Things I like

Hearts, butterflies and stars (stickers, paper etc.)

I like sample stuff eg. tea (only herbal and flavored green tea), coffee (I still sneak cup now and then),soaps,creams, perfumes etc....

Patterns for knitting

Recipes: Vegetarian (even though I eat meat, I am fussy and don't eat certain meats at all) - slowe cooker and freezer meals, baking, DESSERTS, low-fat, low GI.

Exercise and movement(especially if it enhances learning and personal growth). Interested cds, books, on-line info, pamphlets, DVD's etc

Any yarn (suggested knitting projects or pattern with it would be highly appreciated)

Romantic, Historical romances, Investigative, Crime solving, fantasy novels, poetry, non-fiction, feminism, personal development books. Really into Audio books - would like the classics retold for children example Real Reads series - got only one at the moment Sense and Sensibility by Gill Tavner

Really like incense sticks (no musk aromas), bath salts and aromatherapy items.

Love photographs of scenic areas, tourist stuff, artistic. If you send me a digital photograph please let me know if I can put on my blog. Always looking for stuff that I can add poetry too or that helps me express a thought.

One day I would like a herb garden, but I am not the gardening type. I do have some mint and lavender.

Like trying to make my own beauty masks, baths and remedies.

Enjoy being introduced to new music and movie genres

Thanks for visiting my blog! I went and read your blogs too! I love both! I was reading about the Sense and Sensability book club and wishing so much we could attend. My daughters love reading! Sadly.. Las Vegas, Nevada is a little far to fly to attend. Oh well... enjoy it without us! Maggie soyprincesa2
