I have a degree in Design specialising in the area of surface pattern. I love to make things and work in mixed media/collage. I make my own greeting cards and love to try out new materials/techniqes. I have only just become addicted to making ATC's and am now hooked.

In general: I love spending my time shopping although when it comes down to it i never have anything to wear! Love drawing, painting and general doodling, creating things from bits and bobs, singing loudly in the car when no one can hear! I'll always be a daydreamer, dont intend to change! Im determined, strong minded and know what i want ... but in a nice way!
