About Me

I've only been in the US for a couple of months,having lived in New Zealand ,Australia and Fiji previously. I love making things, especially mixed media [at the moment!] and am willing to try anything once! I like most colours and styles, but seem to lean towards blues and greens at the moment and anything with a whimsical quality. I also love love love chocolate, especially dark bitter chocolate.[colour as well as food]

I have three grown up sons [yes, I lived to tell the tale] and have recently become a granny - I'm way too young- really!!!

I love to read, the back of the cornflakes packet will do if I'm really desperate and am an avid magazine buyer - not good I know, but they make very good boot stuffers once you're done with them, just roll them up and push them down the leg!

I like: modern art, abstacts, anything that's a bit clever or has an unusual twist.
chocolate, tea, black jellybeans,
raspberries and Granny Smith apples books, books, books vintage anything, if it's been very well loved, even better. Dinnerware! Strange, I know, but I just love plates and cups etc Christmas - I'm hoping for snow! It'll be our first Christmas in the winter! Dislikes: Pumpkin,squash marrow- any squishy vegetable ugh! Anything overtly religious -of whatever persuausion "Precious" moments, Helen Steiner Rice quotes [sorry HSR!] Navel gazing self help books!

Comment: Hi! I love the owl and matchbox you sent me! Just amazing! I wanted to tell you that it's technically not a matchbox purse, though, which is what the swap called for, this one's just a regular decorated matchbox. I love it though, which is why I'm rating you with the heart. I just LOVE it, lol. Thanks so much for the beautiful items...I've never received an owl stuffie before...I'm SO impressed by your creativity and talent. Thank you SO much! Hugs, Jo
Response: I'm so sorry, I don't know how I missed that it was supposed to be a purse. - must be old age! Glad you liked it anyway - I'll send another cover with a handle and then it will be what it's supposed to be! I feel a bit silly! Beth

Comment: thank you - I was so excited when I opened the envelope! As I walked upstairs to my studio I was thinking about how I would "store" the inchies so I'd be able to see them easily (I keep ATC's in a binder in plastic baseball card sleeves). I was thrilled when I opened your package - not only are the inchies wonderful but the box is too cool - I'm keeping it on my table so everyone can see it. And the chocolate,well, that never hurts......thanks again.
Response: I'm so glad you liked them,as you can probably tell from the box, I'm a chocolate consumer too! I can assure you that I only eat it to provide recycled packaging for other things though!
