About Me

smurf

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.

chococat I absolutely love Chococat!

Comment: Apologies for the delayed rating, I've been away and my 25 days of Christmas wouldn't fit in my luggage! It was so lovely to come home to a box half full of amazing gifts. I really enjoyed opening my gifts and using some of them to create Christmas cards and gifts for other people. I really appreciate how personalised each of the items are. I love all the crafty items because they inspire me to create things. Some of my favourite things would have to be the DVD of The Princess Bride, the LadyBird embellishments, the mini cutting mat, the storage box full of amazing stuff including two mini Kokeshi Dolls, the container of beads and the cute little bunnies that are correction tape and erasers. The Christmas day gift was perfect for me and is really appreciated. I am so grateful for all the effort you have put in to this swap. Thank you so much!!

Oooohhhh!!! I just love the stamp bookmark! I don't have any imagination when it comes to crafting with stamps and am generally impressed when someone does something interesting with them. This is extra awesome! Thanks so much!!
