About Me

Member of Swap-Bot since October 2008

I have been married for 9 1/2 years and have an adorable 6 1/2 year old cat called Charlie, who is our fur baby.

Favorite Crafts

I like most things crafty - Card Making, Knitting, Crocheting, Lace-Making, Soap-Making and Candle-Making.

My 2010 New Year's resolution was to teach myself to crochet and so far I seem to be doing ok.

My favourite hobby though is Cross Stitch, which I have been doing for about 28 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.

Favorite Books

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

Favorite Music

I have been a Michael Jackson fan for 23 years now. I also like Boyzone, Queen and most pop music. I also quite like some of the dance music.

I also like:-

  • hot chocolate (not mint or orange flavours though)

My favourite smells are:-

  • Lavender
  • Vanilla
  • Strawberry
  • Apple
  • Banana
  • Raspberry
  • Chocolate

I collect:-

  • Cherished Teddies

My favourite holiday's are Valentine's Day, Halloween and Christmas. I love anything relating to Snowmen. I also love anything Halloween apart from spiders!

My Dislikes are..
