PLEASE NOTE: As discussed here http://www.swap-bot.com/forums/topic/103143 Post to and from the UK is being a pain right now, and there seem to be a lot of delays due to both the Xmas period, and floods going on in areas of the country. Because of this parcels may take longer to and from me, so I may take a little longer to rate. Please please rate or acknowledge my swaps arrival to you as soon as you get it, to put my mind at rest that its not hiding in a local mail depot. I am keeping all my mail receipts.

Aloha! My name is Emily,and I am 22 year old photographer living in the UK. I am doing my degree in BA Hons Photography from September 2010-june 2013. I couldn't possibly imagine doing anything else!

I am a kind,open-minded,big-hearted person. I suffer from M.E,but despite that I try to remain as positive as possible :)

I am a sucker for anything art-related,or cultural. I cannot draw to save my life and am not well-travelled,so both of these things fascinate me. Photography is my passion so I always like to share my work! Occasionally I like to sew. I am not very good but I love love love plushies,and buttons and brooches. Anything cute & Pink.

I cannot go out anywhere without some sort of hair ornament. Be it a flower,bow or headband. I just want to be different and a positive,bright individual :)

This is me pretending I was a princess for 5 minutes,before a swarm of midges attacked!!

MUSIC:

I love almost any genre of music excluding country and rap. My favourite artists include Jimmy Eat World, Rob Thomas/Matchbox Twenty, Matt Cardle, Alex Clare, Imogen Heap, Sanders Bohlke. There are too many to list! I love flatmail playlist swaps.

BOOKS:

I am pretty open-minded when it comes to books. I'll read long novels or short stories. Fairytales or real-life. Im not a big fan of war (WW1&2) orientated novels,I find them very saddening and depressing,just a little too much. Pop up books make me smile, and I find books with illustrations inspiring :)

I dont mind if books are secondhand,as long as they are in a good condition

I still love fairy tales. Little Red Riding hood is the most distinctive from my childhood, like most other people! As well as brothers Grimm tales, I really love fairy tales from different cultures.

I like Young Adult Fiction as well as Adult fiction. I do not like Twilight, but have succumbed to The Hunger Games series. Favourite YA books include 'Uglies/'Pretties', 'Witchchild/Sorceress' and 'Before I Die'.

SUPERNATURAL ! give me anything Castiel-related and I will love you forever Scrubs, The Office (US), Smallville, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Sherlock, Mock The Week, Downton Abbey, The Big Bang Theory, Derren Brown (The events, The Experiments, The Specials etc.) Arrow

MY FAVE FILMS INCLUDE:

The Illusionist, The Painted Veil, Bourne Trilogy, Iron Man, The Avengers, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Hunger Games, Clueless, Moonrise Kingdom, Constantine, Pocahontas, Australia,... the list goes on!

Plushies, Dotee Dolls, Journalling/Letter writing, The occasional ATC, PHOTOGRAPHY

I have yet to/ have never received swaps from the following:

-Lucky Charms Cereal: I can't get it in the UK, but it is my favourite cereal in the world, since my childhood!

• Coloured Smoke Balls: These are on sale on Amazon.com, but the seller doesn't ship to the UK. I like to use them in my photography instead of talc to make a smokey,surreal atmosphere!

• Rolls of 35mm film

• 6x4 black/white card stock

-Kawaii. My collection is so sparse, as I cannot find any San-x in my city, so I avoid Kawaii swaps because I just can't find the right things. I did get lucky once and found 15 packs of unused Kawaii stationary in a charity shop. I was over the moon! I would love Kawaii jewellery and some more rilakkuma. Kawaii puts a smile on my face, so I hope to enter more swaps soon!

TEA / HOT DRINK SWAPS I am still new to the tea/hot drink swaps on here, and I do not have a lot in terms of sachets. But gradually building a swapping collection and discovering new and different teas. I do not like NORMAL/PLAIN tea, as the flavour makes me feel sick, but if you send it to me, I have a very appreciative family who like plain tea and coffee. I LOVE tea with vanilla in it, and strong,sweet fruity teas. I love vanilla chai, and I adore Hot chocolate, ideally water-based. Any flavour of hot chocolate is good for me!

DOTEE I love dotees of all varieties! I do have a dotee wish list from tags/swaps I have been flaked on.I would love a Kawaii themed dotee especially . Pink is my favourite colour and I love sparkly fabrics or beads that I can use on my dotees
