Hi, I am Sam. I am married and have 3 children. I met my husband at school at the age of 14 and have been with him ever since. We have a 6years old boy and twin girls 2 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!!! All our family are Christians.

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.

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.

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) Ialso like fims based on true life. To name a few of my favourites : The BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility, The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption, Bridget Jones, Armagedon, Mama Mia, Chocolat.

I like The Guardian, The Mentalist, Docu-Soaps - Police, Emergency, Casualty, Single-handed, Come dine with me, Supernanny, wifeswap, X-Factor and craft channels.

I dabble in a few things, specialist of none.....I started off card making, I love experimenting with acrylics, fibers, stickers, beads,freehand machine embroidery. I'm playing with atc's and bookmarks, book thongs, chams. I love recycling or upcycling items. Boxes,tins, books.Would love to start an art journal.....altered book.....fabric book.....inchies....matchboxes.
