About Me

Hello... sorry i have been off site for a while.. suffering from a few problems at the moment. i am sorry to have been late rating , will sort through and do so asap.

Hi, I am Sam. I am married and have 3 children. We have a 7 year old boy and twin girls 3 years old. We don't have any pets but I would love a rat. The children, husband and home take most of my energy but I love crafty things!!! I attend my local Baptist Church and am proud to say that Jesus is my Saviour ! I am a Christian....I also have a sense of humour and love to laugh and enjoy life.

Favorite Music

I listen to radio 2 most days. I like most stuff 80's to present. I like listening to David Gray, Enrique, The Lighthouse Family, Def Lepard. Nothing too heavy metal though. A bit of classical is cool. I do like christian contemporary music.

Favorite Books

I like historical romantic fiction. I used to read Cynthia Harrod Eagles Moorland Dynasty series up to no.23. I like easy reading Trashy novels even the more modern mills and boons. I love looking at craft books new and old.

Favorite Movies

I like all sorts of films from weepies, chick flicks, Thriller or a good drama. I am not into action/ adventure ( I switch off when my hubby puts James Bond or Indiana Jones on) I also like films based on true life.
