Smudge

Member of Swap-Bot since October 2008

I have been married for nearly 8 years and have an adorable 4 1/2 year old cat called Charlie, who is our fur baby.

I like most things crafty Card Making, Scrap-Booking, Knitting, Lace-Making, Soap-Making and Candle-Making. I also like to make things out of Fimo.

My favourite hobby though is Cross Stitch, which I have been doing for nearly 25 years. I thoroughly enjoy it and there never seems to be enough hours in the day to stitch all the things I would like to do. My 'to do' pile is forever growing! I make all of my own cards for all occasions.

My favourite writers are Danielle Steel, Stephen King and James Patterson. I also like to read autobiographies.

I have been a Michael Jackson fan for 21 years now. I also like Boyzone, Take That, Madonna, Queen, Sugarbabes, Girls Aloud and most pop music. I also quite like some of the dance music.
