Hello!!!!! Thankyou for reading my profile! I LOVE personal/private swaps so if you're interested please send me a message & we can set one up. I love quality whimsey jars, jewellery, knitted, sewn, painted, papered..............infact ANYTHING! Maybe you can do one thing but i can do something else then we could swap our favourite crafts:) What do you think?

I ALWAYS send my swaps! I ALWAYS send quality! If you don't recieve anything then let me know so that i can rectify it! I will do the same for you!

Meat Loaf, Alanis Morrisette, Adele, Tori Amos, Kelly Clarkson, Amy Winehouse, Beth Rowely, James Blunt, David Gray............i have a very varied taste in music. i can listen to rock, reggae, soul, classical.......depends on my mood! I can get very black & my music will reflect that but also it lightens as i do.

If anyone sends me mixed CDs (which i would LOVE!) could you please send sort of themed ones. For example....a really upbeat sing-a-long-at-the-top-of-my-voice-whilst crafting OR whack-up-the volume-on-ipod-and-fall-into-deep-depression ones. Or anytype inbetween:)

Jewellery making, Altered Art, Mixed Media art, Scrapbooking,

I'm learning to use Polymer Clay, using more & more fabric so i'm trying to collect various fabrics of 6x6 or larger , Art Journals, mixed media jewellery & charms.

I'm teaching myself wire jewellery so love copper or silverplated, gold plated, sterling silver wire of 16 or 18 guage.

I enjoy decorating my own fabric & background papers.

I'm looking to build up a collection of fabric paints & fabric dyes(of which i have none at the moment).

I dabble in cross stitch but have enough skeins of thread to last me a lifetime........i like patterns. & need aida especially aida bands.

I now make resin jewellery also. Yay! I braved it! Lol!

I don't make many ATCs now but still love ephemera & papers & i'm always on the lookout for scrabble tiles & anything that can be used in my mixed media work.

My crafting is always evolving & i am teaching myself to knit but i just cannot get the hang of crochet! If any of you can give me any pointers then i would be so grateful! I also would love to learn lace stitches in knitting but my last project increased from 47 stitches to nearly 200 within 30 rows!!!! It was meant to be a stole! What am i doing wrong?????

NCIS, all the CSIs, Numb3rs, Criminal Minds though not as much now Gideon's gone :((.......don't watch much........i either craft, surf or read

I'm 38, happiliy married, have 4 grown up sons, have 4 English Cocker Spaniels, live in my favourite place......West Coast of Scotland.

I suffer with ultra rapid cycling bipolar which tries to rule my life......BUT I WON'T LET IT! I do have a social phobia & a form of agoraphobia so very rarely leave the house therefore my computer is my way into the big wide world! My crafting keeps me going as does my wonderfully understanding hubbie:)

I have created some form of art & craft all my life but right now i'm into mixed media anything. Jewellery, collage, charms.

I love nature & adore the highlands of Scotland.

My hubbie is a fisherman when not looking after me so fishing items are always a good bet especially sea fishing. Yes, he takes me with him but i walk the dogs & leave the caveman to catch his food! We now have a little boat & get out on the loch..... sometimes to fish, sometimes to just be. I want to use it to visit all the little Scottish Islands but that'll have to be next year now. Although i'm unsure how practical that is gonna be with 4 dogs that love the water........wet dogs = wet bed.......Hmmmm?

You may know me from other craft forums as baa-me-chick. If you do come & say hello:)

Vintage ephemera for collage work. Vintage fabrics, lace & trims.

Rich, strong, earthy colours & metallic anything esp.copper & bronze are my favourite.

Handmade Jewellery, charm bracelets & charms, danglie earrings.

Chicken anything!

Any kind of SHEEP! Stuffed, ornamental, socks, pictures........so long as it is sheep or chicken i love it! Country cottage anything! Shabby chic!

Anything handmade.

I prefer ANYTHING that is unusual & handmade above shop bought items.

I love notebooks & journals......a girl can never have too many of those!

I love socks:) Infact, i love pink in my socks which is strange as i'm not really a pink girl.......???

I love handmade items that have been made with care & attention. Please don't send anything sloppy. I won't send anything badly made to you. My crafting is my pride & joy:)

I'm always willing to learn new crafts although the bank balance is groaning since taking on a fabric addiction on top of everything else.

I want to collect crocheted doillies so if anyone has any that are surplus to requirements please pm me & maybe we could work out a swap:)

Cute! Unless it's SHEEPY cute.....or chicken cute........then i LOVE it! I DO NOT like cute, or baby pinks or blues. I am not a blue person. I would choose any colour over blue everytime. It just doesn't do it for me! Really NO pastels! Pink is ok but must be a vintage, muted pink......certainly not girly! But i DO like pink on my feet.......especially if there is a sheep with it! Lol!

Please nothing fluffy & sparkly!

Other then that i'm pretty easy to please:)

Address labels & labels with my name & logo picture on for swaps as i CANNOT master these on my computer:( So if anyone can help me i will love you forever:D

My Wishlist.............Hmmmmm! It would consist of SHEEP!!!!! Anything with sheep on or sheep based or anything to do with sheep! I LOVE them! Haha!

I would also love Anything with chickens

Journals/pretty notebooks

Handmade jewellery........if you send earrings i love them long & dangly!

There is probably loads more i could put onto this list! This is just a start. I appreciate everything & have recieved awesome goodies through swaps that i wouldn't even have thought of! And i love them!

But really, i am really easy to please! As long as there is thought & care put into it i LOVE it!!!! And i'm always happy to recieve different things.............isn't that how we find out what we like???!!!!

I ALWAYS send my swaps! If you haven't recieved something that is due to you please let me know bfore rating me. We CAN work it out! My ratings are important to me & i ALWAYS send quality & ALWAYS send extras. I value my hearts! I know how i feel when i recieve packages that have been put together with care & attention......it brightens my day & makes me smile like a Cheshire Cat! Therefore i wish to do the same for my fellow swappers!:)

I would love to do some private swaps so if you have any ideas that would suit my profile please yell & we can trade. Anything handmade is perfect!

This is an awesome site & i intend to help keep it going by ALWAYS sending swaps, PIFs, PIBs, Tags & Wishes:)

I tend to have a lot of swaps etc going at one time so it generally means i send as the sending date becomes due. Also, please keep in mind that i'm in the UK so swaps to USA, Canada & Australia take much longer. Sometimes they can get there in a few days, other times a few blooming weeks!!!

Firstly, THANKYOU SOOO much for those of you that have granted me such awesome wishes! There is nothing better than a surprise in the post & knowing that someone has thought of me for no other reason than to send a Random Act of Kindness to a stranger! My hubbie is amazed when the post comes & he still can't get his head round the fact that you swappers are SO kind & generous with no thought for what you will get out of it! It means though, that when i send him to the Post Office with yet ANOTHER armful of parcels he just shakes his head & trots off for me:):):)(& pays the humongous postage bill for me! Lol!!!!
