I'm sorry to say I may be taking a break from swap-bot once I have archived all my remaining swaps. There are a few reasons why, which I can't really go into, but I feel a rest is needed. Please do not panic if I am in a swap with you - you will receive everything by the dates as my record shows; I'm no flaker! I really enjoy swapping with people all over the world but you know what it's like - life has a way of getting in the way sometimes doesn't it?! I'll be online until everything is archived and all my partners have rated me then I shall take a little break, but I'll be back soon! xxx

I ALWAYS SEND MY SWAPS ON TIME, IF YOU DON'T RECEIVE ANYTHING, PLEASE PM ME BEFORE RATING.

I always aim to make people smile with my swaps by either adding a few little extras or including a letter etc...I always aim for the hearts, I love those little guys, it lets me know you really liked my swap and appreciate the effort!

I'm a 24 year old secondary school Art teacher in the UK.

I love all things crafty and any form of stationary!

In my spare time I make beaded jewellery, draw watever pops into my head, make random pieces of arty stuff that makes me smile and organise the 'office' that I NEVER sit in to do any work!

I have a dog who is beautiful and ever-so-slightly dim...she's awsome! My fella and I love her very much...she gets more treats than we do!

I also have a corn snake called Mr Wiggles who I bought about two months ago, he's also lovely!

I don't really have a favourite colour, I like anything sparkly or colourful. I do have a bit of a soft spot for pink because I sometimes like to think I'm a bit girly but nothing I say or do reflects this! Except screaming like a banshee on the sofa when a spider crawls past!

I'm a Leo and love big cats - not so much domestic cats though! Someone once said I'm a typical Leo - bossy, stubborn, dogmatic but loyal and passionate!

I really love hand made things! I love the fact that someone has put time and thought into making something just for me!

It's all about the little things!

I like anything really as long as it's catchy! If it sounds good to dance to (not that I can dance!) I'll probably like it.

Have a real soft spot for indie / rock / metal music!

I once read a book that came free with a magazine called something like A WAGS diary - I'm a little resentful I'm never going to get that time back!

Gone With the Wind, Beaches, Forrest Gump, Girl Interrupted...Good old weepies!

I like the Ben Stiller / American Pie kinda films, although haven't been impressed with some of the recent releases. Not so much laugh out loud, as a large exhale of air. There are a few due for release soon though I think...

There's so many...

I do love most things crafty. I like random things that make me smile and are perhaps a littly quirky / kitsch / unusual.

I really love kawaii but am just getting into it really...

I seem to cycle through various crafts, get to a certain stage of interest, them move onto something new! Last it was jewellery making before I became addicted to swap-bot! 6 months ago it was learning to knit, 3 months ago it was drawing my own series of cartoon characters. I like to do 'something,' I can't just sit and veg out for long before my mind takes over and I start thinking about things I can make!

It's fun to sign up to some good swaps to keep the creative juices flowing outside of school!

I love making things and like trying out new things.

Sparkles, cute things, big cats, dogs, snakes, most animals actually - especially if they're cute! I LOVE handmade items, jewellery, sketchbooks, drawings, some paintings, renaissance art, pre-raphaelite art, manga, anime, hello kitty, the sims (sad but true), bags, shoes, charms, gems, beads (especially glass and swarovski!), colour, patterns, stationary, stationary and even more stationary! Making lists (oh dear), perspex furniture! Dolls, badges, stickers, interesting / unusual / handmade paper, handwritten letters, journals and notecards, anything I can use that's going to look good when creating something crafty...

Card making things as I don't make my own cards! Woodwork, any edibles or drinkables, anything religious, foreign money, plus anything to do with: Politicians, maths! Ants, spiders, most insects actually, cruelty, contemporary art, cooking stuff (I can't cook!)

I love funky socks, I wear them to school to brighten up my boring school clothes! (I wear 'dolly' type shoes to school, you can see my socks in them! I don't just walk around in my socks - health and safety would eat me for breakfast!) Kawaii anything! Paper / card. Funky pens and pencils. This might be a little weird, but leg warmers! (You never know!) I wear cheap, thin trousers from Primark to work because my clothes usually end up covered in paint! In the winter my legs get really cold waiting for the bus and in my classroom so I wear leg warmers underneath to keep my legs warm! :D Badges / pins. Funky notebooks / journals. I'd really love a kawaii bento box - I understand it's sort of a lunchbox right? I think you put cute lunches in them?! Finally, I'm always on the look out for new links of cute pixels to put on my profile page, so if you have any you wouldn't mind sharing, I would really love a quick PM!
