About Me

I am a 31 year old PhD student currently residing in Leicester with the husband but am originally from Belfast. Some day I would love to travel around the world but until this happens (probably when I retire!) I think swaps are the next best thing! Definitely the happiest way to connect with the rest of the world :)

I really really love lazy days in bed reading a good book but when I am not being lazy I go cycling, kayaking, surfing (someday I will stand up on that board!), boarding, frisbee, tennis, eating and climbing (though I always get shaky leg syndrome lol).

If I didn’t craft I would go crazy!!! Any craft will do – quilting, sewing, embroidery, drawing, jewellery making, bookbinding, printmaking, crocheting, knitting…………

Life Goals

My life goals are:

  • stop being bored easily

  • walk on the moon (we must have some dreams lol!)

  • travel the world

  • play the violin again

  • pass the 2* in kayaking

  • go deep sea diving

  • climb things

  • watch all 6 starwars movies in a row

  • stand up on a surfboard

  • sail a boat

  • laugh at least 5 times a day

  • walk on my hands

  • look after an elephant for the day

  • go swimming in the sea at night

  • make the noise twiki makes

  • make proper pancakes (yippee! I finally managed it!)

  • live in a shack by the sea

  • go on a 'mysterious cities of gold' tour (can't find a tour lol but I DID buy the entire series on DVD lately!)

Likes

I really like all materials and colours except purple and velvet (or worse – both together ARGH!!); hello kitty(well, anything cute and Japanese); kawaii; children’s books; daisies and sunflowers; rhinos; monsters; houses; stickers; paperchase; Tim Burton; cute skulls; stripes; spotty things; spiders; bats; anything to do with the sea; lucy art style; Susie Watson style; poppy treffry style, robots, cram cream, Bake&Destroy and last, but not least, cupcakes cupcakes cupcakes.

Dislikes

I am not fond of Forever friends; Anne geddes (or anything along those lines); Black (tho in reference to anything tim burton then of course I love it!; butterflies; Purple (though lilac is ok); Velvet; satin and anything shiny satiny sparkly

Favorite Music

At the moment I love Eagles of Death Metal, Zero 7, Queens of the Stoneage, Johnny Cash and Elvis.

Favorite Books

I will always love Fluke, The Dark Tower Series, Fear Nothing, Bottersnikes and Gumbles, The Hundred Secret Senses, The Man who Counted and anything by Rebecca Dautremer.

Favorite Movies

My all time fav movies are Amelie, True Romance, Nightmare before Christmas, The Straight Story, Anchorman, All dogs go to heaven, Cannonball run and Gone with the Wind.

Favorite Television

I absolutely adore Family guy and my fav cartoon as a child was Mysterious City of Gold (does anyone remember this cartoon lol?). I also love CSI and am curiously addicted to Masterchef.

Comment: Alex, you are a Star!!! I wish I could give you more hearts. The package arrived this morning and I loved it. Its gorgeous, thank you so much. I love it all and the coin purse and pen and stickers and key ring are just amazing!! I did have a giggle as the bio security guys also checked out your jar and it passed inspection. I can not wait to take a bath either in that lush goodness.

Comment: Alex, thank you so much! I loved the confetti & stickers... Too cute...Speaking of too cute! The card & the felt and all was so sweet. Your family's traditions sound like ours. I guess regardless of where you are, its all about eating & reverting to childhood antics {laughs} Have a very merry Christmas & a wonderful new year! ♥

Comment: I just went to the p.o. and got my package today. I love everything in it! Thank you so much, Alexandra! These beads are telling me that they want to be made into several very cool charm bracelets, and that is exactly what is going to happen to most of them. Some will go on purses, and some will be added to a charm bracelet I already have that needs gussying up. If I could give you multiple stars I would! Again, many many thanks!
Response: Hey, I am so glad you loved them and thanks so so much for the heart! I think a charm bracelet would be so perfect! Happy crafting! :)

Response: o my goodness, that is so cool that your cat looks like the one on the magnet lol!! I am so glad that you loved them all! :)

Hi Rosieprimrose,

I created a new ATC swap with Tim Burton as theme for this group.
I hope you will like the swap and maybe join.

Thank you for your lovely package for BB YGM February. And for sending it special delivery. We were out the first time the postman came and he left a card for us to collect it. Then at lunchtime he rang the bell and said he was on his way back and thought he would give us another try :-) Hurray for Royal Mail !!
AngelGurl on Mar 1, 2009:
