I live in tropical Eastern Australia, the most beautiful place in the world! I love animals, especially cats and lizards, and am working my way towards a career at the Australian Reptile Park just outside of Sydney. My life revolves around my pets, which includes 2 cats, 2 dogs, a blue tongue skink, a water dragon, and a bearded dragon. I also foster kittens and cats for a local animal shelter.

I enjoy sewing, but am not very good with my machine, so usually sew everything by hand with lots of help from the kittens (which is the complete opposite of help really, but don't tell them that). I can't knit or crochet, and would love anything made with these techniques! I also love playing around with polymer clay.

Some of my favourite things include fruit, cupcakes etc, owls, cats, lizards, charms, broaches, Rachelle Hale photography, shells, Hello Kitty, Garfield, Emily the Strange and the colour green.

Any of the above products, either handmade or store bought! Material, polymer clay, ribbon, buttons, or anything I can make something out of. I enjoy cooking cakes, cookies, puddings and muffins, so any cake making things (molds etc) or cakey objects would be great! Also, owning cats, anything made or bought for them would be a real bonus.

I'm not all that into tv or movies, but I do love to read! The Harry Potter series was great, and the Cloe-Mae Coronicles was Awesome. I love looking through photographic books (Steve Parish etc) and any true animal story books I can get my hands on. But my absolute favourite book is my Bible!
