I joined Swap-bot ~ February 14 2007.

I'm currently having a break from swapping, partly due to the recent rise in postage costs. I have also given up my craft room to give my kids their own bedrooms I'll still be checking in with my groups and goings on here.

I am a 38 year old single Mum of 2 boys, aged 13 & 8. I own 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (Rusty & Harley), a ginger cat (Butternutz) and a hooded rat (Pepper).

I collect seahorses, erasers, novelty coin purses, novelty pens, badges (metal souvenier type ones) and smurfs. I'm also building up a collection of tourist postcards or postcards from where you live. I like to have them written on and sent naked though the post. I also have a small collection of squished pennies.
