About Me

. Please do not send me anything Halloween, I live in Australia and although some people are beginning to celebrate it here we don't. Thank You ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Firstly I should mention that if I receive something from you either as an extra or part of a swap, and I cant use it, I will re gift so if this is a problem to you please let me know. I just think its better to pass things on to people who can use them rather than just let things fill up my drawers etc or even end up thrown away, because I cannot use them. THANK YOU ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

A word about my Flickr photos, as soon as I make a set of ATC's or other work I take pics and upload them, so if you don't want to see pics before you get items from me, might be best not to look.

I am a 45 year old stay at home mum, I used to do a lot of community/ volunteer work but since I moved towns I am finding it hard to find my place, so to speak , so at the moment I am happy being home but need things to do to keep busy, I thought it was Christmas when I fount swap-bot!!!

Many thanx to everyone for their wonderful comments on my work!!!!

Favorite Music

I enjoy pretty much any music except what my teenage son listens too. Although i think that that's mandatory isn't it? lol Although lately he has taken a liking to country rock,l which is great because I like that too.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

fav Books and Television

I love any Dean Koontz books but my favourite of all time is "Watchers" it is such a great book, has horror, love and animals. I have 2 copies and have read it at least 10 times and each time I laugh and cry. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Well I don't watch a lot of television but I do get a laugh out of "Family Guy" and I like an Aussie show called "Spicks and Specks"

Favorite Crafts

My favourite craft is and always has been card making, I never buy cards from stores. Recently I have taken up scrapbooking as it uses a lot of the same techniques as I use in card making and I have just completed an album for both my kids. Quilling is another of "my" crafts I have used it on cards and have started making ATCs as well another craft I really like as well is Iris Folding.

Since joining swap-bot I have discovered ATCs, chunky pages and much more I love them all, I adore Journalling, especially round robins. I am working on an altered book/ journal which my daughter covets and hopefully will one day become a loved heirloom.
