Turquoise

I am back but I am still not doing any swaps for now, but just looking to get back in touch with the friends I made on here.

All tags and swaps have been mailed, however if you have not gotten anything from me please send me a PM.

I live in the middle of nowhere, and post my packages at the sub-post office. So it is possible to have a postmark on it a day or two later, than when I originally posted it.

Hi Everyone!

I am Rona, 31 years old and married to Darren. We live in the South East of Ireland with our two guinea pigs. I love to read, make and do various art and crafts (although I am pretty rusty and hope to get to the level of some of the awesome crafters here at Swap-Bot), other things I am interested in are: Photography, History, Cultures, Animals, Movies, etc.

I am a Christian, still new to Christianity and have a long way to go lol. I got baptised recently and its the best choice I ever made. I would consider myself a deep thinker and sometimes sentimental but I am also someone who is not afraid to have fun and laugh now and again! I am very open minded and most things don't offend me.

I tend to be ill on and off. I suffer from Depression and Cylothymia as well as Hypothyroidism. However I always try my best to send the swap I owe you on time and I would never flake on anyone in anyway. I also promise to rate all swaps I recieve from you.

My favorite Colors are: Turquoise, Baby Blues, Red, Fuschia, Nature and Fall Colours etc. To be honest I like most colors apart from dull dirty colors, Dull Blues, Dull Grey and Dull green. I also don't like girly girl pink (although dark pink is fine).

My favorite scents are: Roses, Orange, Citrus, Apples, Jasmine, Blossom, Fresh Bread, Freshly Brewed Coffee, Orchids. I like most scents once its nice and not too sickly sweet if you know what I mean?

I am interested in the following things, of course it doesn't mean you have to send all of these things. This list is just to give you an idea :) Gently used items are fine once its hygenic but please don't send me used and worn jewellery or half used makeup.
