I think reaching 40 has created all sorts of questions on life, the universe and everything. I do know that I am an animal lover, mega book reader and there is definately a creative animal trying to be released, but just hasn't found the exact medium yet. I am loving creating ATC's. I am happy with my zentangles. Beading was doing it for me, but I have lost my mojo and hope to recover it. My family consisting of 3 boys - 6,10 & 12, my husband and my 2 lovely girl labradors keep me busy and happy, but there has to be more!! My dream to own a property where I can breed dogs, birds, horses, and city kids can come and learn about country life, is taking time. BUT IT WILL HAPPEN!! At the moment I live in a small mining town in the desert, 1200kms from the nearest City. This town may be isolated but it has everything a person needs. Clean air, spectacular scenery (red dirt & large ranges, pretty waterholes), brilliant community spirit and a great place for boys to grow up. Admittedly the temperature is around 40 degrees celcius most of the year, but you soon acclimatise.

I am an announcer on our local radio station which is broadening my music tastes. I like Gwen Stefani,Lily Allen, Adele, Merril Bainbridge, Spearhead, Black eyed Peas, Missy Higgins, Wolf Mother and everything in between

Major bookaholic, in two book clubs!! Current likes are "The Book Thief", "5 People You Meet in Heaven", "Gang of Four", "Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter". Anything by Marian Keyes

"Crouching Tiger,Hidden Dragon", "House of the Flying Daggers", "Pirates of the Caribbean"(I like Johnny Depp),"Steel Magnolias", "The Whale Rider"

"House", "Enough Rope", any kind of cooking show - "Food Lovers Guide to Australia", "The Cook & The Chef", "Farmer wants a Wife

Beading with natural beads - seeds, wood, bone, turquoise, coral. ATC's,zentangles, stamping and am very keen to learn anything new.

My favourite colour is purple, but into any colour really. I'm intrigued by whales, a fantasy of mine is to ride a winged horse, my desire is to live on a small acreage with lots of animals,my favourite food is... food!!

Zentangles are great fun!! There is no rules or guidelines, you can for broke and let it flow!!" Artwise: I love art by Dante Rosetti, Gustav Klimt. I love fantasy eg fairies, dragons, gothic, not keen on cheesy, cutesy stuff.

I would love to receive anything I can use on an ATC - papers, embellishments old tickets (bus,concert,etc)ephemera, pages out of a foreign(not english)book,pages out of a road map of a foreign country (not Oz), scraps of unusual material/fibre, rubber stamps, embossing powder,dotee doll embellishments,Stamping magazines/cooking magazines (secondhand is fine)THANKS

I love peanut butter, fruity, melon flavours and pretty much anything apart from spearmint and licorice.
