Hi, I am a mummy of 2 precious monsters, i work in a craft store part time, and absolutely LOVE my job! I love to swap!!

I love to make anything, and everything, with anything and everything!! I sew, quilt, bead, paint, mould, cut, paste, throw, felt, knit and crochet and sometimes i do it all at the same time!! I never have only one project going at the same time, im a bit on the "if you dont have more than one project going, then......" side!!

i am a huge 80's music fan, but PLEASE dont hold that agains me!! I am a normal Person!

i love to hear my children sing, even if they do sing like me... extremely off key!!

i love to read, i always have a book beside my bed or bath.

I love to read

• Beverly Harper -( unfortunately she is no longer alive!!):(
• Marion Keys - She is what i call my no thinking read, and i can SO relate to her characters!
