Hi - I am thrilled to find so much swapping going on - I love to get "real" mail , things I can keep forever. I have never flaked so if something doesn't arrive, please can you email me first before rating.

I am married and in my early 50's but not working at the moment due to health issues. I like postcards of fairies, mystical and Gothic themes.I am addicted to making ATCs . I love animals and the countryside, walking, cinema, reading and watercolours. I am quite a spiritual person and believe in spirits in nature, and that all things have a soul. I am, of course, a vegetarian.

I am devoting my life to my healing and psychic side. I am a reiki master, which is very exciting. I am a beginner Wiccan and am thrilled to find that I am slowly being able to use it in my every day life in the form of blessings and lovely natural rituals.

I really enjoy all pop music as well as some classical - Beethoven, Handel. I ilke something with a fast beat to get me moving and it ehlps speed me up on my walks!I also love musical theatre - I have seen Wicked, Phantom, and a few others.

I love american drama series, especially medical and series such as Brothers and Sisters, plus corny family series!I also enjoy human life documentaries but not nature porgrammes as they usually have me crying! My favourite at the moment is Glee! Also The Good wife! and i enjoy hospital dramas - grey's Anatomy - I am a would-be Doctor!!

I really try to order as many new releases from my local library as i can. I don't like romanes or sci fi really. I enjoy anything which describes a person's life challenge or any thing funny. I love Jodi Piccoult and have read nearly all of hers plus anything with a medical basis. I am fascinated with original fairy tales, the real Grimm Brothers ones and how they differ from the sanitised ones we learn as children. A couple of favourites are Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretel!

I have just been introdued to making ATCs and love it!it gives me chance to try things I haven't really tried before such as decoupage, collage and glaze pens, plus there is a reason to put my soul into it because i know how much I want the person who gets them to like them. But I can't sew at all - once tried to knit but ended up with one sweater arm miles longer than the other!i also write poetry but really want to get my creative literary side going and write a short story. I have just been introduced to the wonderful world of the dotee doll and have just made my first one, but now that I have actually received one, i am raring to go to improve!
