About Me

I'm a stay at home mum who homeschools her daughter(and we have great fun in the process)I'm also a witch. I love nature and animals, My favourite animals are wolves, dogs and rats (I have 2 white rats, 1 brown hooded and 2 husky rats) but I love wildlife and domestic animals in all forms. I do have a fondness for ladybugs (my daughter is known as my lil luvbug or lil ladybug) I love dark colours especially purple and dark green. I'm not fond of citrus or pastel colours but I love warm oranges, browns and yellows (just think autumn leaves). That leads on nicely to my favourite season which is Autumn. I love the colours on the trees and the bite of the first frost. I also love winter (I'm worse than my daughter for wishing it would snow lol) I collect dragons, thimbles, and quirky things. I also love anything halloween and snowmen (only liked snowmen since I had Erin) I'm sure there will be more additions to my profile as I think but if you are in an exchange with me don't be afraid to ask or just go with what feels right. I love anything someone has taken the time to write, make or buy for me.

I have 5 rats. 2 PEWS ( Alice and Angelina) a brown hooded (Dora) and 2 husky rats (Tinker and Tilly)

My daughter Erin Erin posing My hubby Jay Jay Another hot guy just because it's my profile and if I want eye candy then I shall add it :P Sid

Illness

Yes I have severe anxiety disorder and depression, I also have ME that does not mean I will be late or flake it just means there are times I'm less chatty. If I feel that it is getting too much for me I will drop any swaps (and then sign back up if I feel able nearer the time lol)

My crafts help me so much with these so I am glad to be part of so many excellent groups and to swap with some of the wonderful people I have met here.

That said , although I will fulfil all my obligations (tags, swaps that have already been assigned) I will be taking a break for a while.

Groups I'm in

gypsy's attic [friends BritishBirds Rodent Lovers Unite swappersbadge badge

I always rate

badge

I always send what I consider to be good swaps and 99% of the time I send on time or early. If i am going to be late I will always let you know or get someone else to let you know. It's only manners. I will only rate a 1 if I have contacted you several times with no response and have not received. I hate rating negatively. I will rarely rate a 3 unless it is very late with no communication (like I said it's good manners).

Handmade swaps are almost always guaranteed a heart. I know how much thought can go into a single ATC and I love handmade so much.

Favorite Books

Harry Potter (of course lol) I love David Eddings, Weiss and Hickman, PJ Tracy, Shaun Hutson, Anne Rice, Terry Pratchett, Garth Nix, Darren Shan, Charles Dickens, Shakespeare. I lean towards fantasy and horror but I also love poetry and crime/ thrillers. Not big on Chick lit or sci fi

Favorite Movies

Vampire films,

Harry Potter,

Labyrinth,

Legend,

most fantasy really and Disney (I'm a big kid at heart) Pirates of the Caribbean

Sleepy Hollow

Nightmare before Christmas

Edward Scissorhands

House 1,000 corpses

and Devils Rejects

Favorite Music

I listen to quite a variety of music. My favourites (at the moment) are: Inkubus Sukkubus

Levellers

Runrig

My Chemical Romance

Type O Negative

Slipknot

Insane Clowns Posse

Fall Out Boy

Not big on warbly types (Celine Dion, Mariah Carey etc)

Favorite Crafts

Cross stitch, scrapbook, card making, ATC's. I love using stitching in most crafts and unusual fibres. I've also just started trying out friendly plastic. I love unusual rubber stamps too. I am developing a minor addiction to beads and I'm just starting my first glue book.

When I can get hold of some cheap playing cards I fully intend to alter them too (thank you KTB :D)

My pets

I have 5 rats, a hamster and a guinea pig. My hamster eats anything and everything he can get his hands on but my rats are a little choosier. My rats adore yoggy drops but turn their noses up at chocolate drops and chocolate coated fruit (unfortunately as it's animal choccy I can't snaffle them).

Unfortunately Aurora passed over to Rainbow Bridge 12/9/07 R.I.P Aurora gone but never forgotten. Amour joined her sister 27/5/08

collections

I love earrings especially holiday themed ones. My daughter collects stamps and foreign money.

Random things I love

I have a love for kawaii things, Diddl, Disney, Sanrio the lot. I'm not picky. The only thing I'm not too keen on is cutesy transport. I love Hello Kitty in all her forms (they have Lolita HK!) and My Melody. If it is a panda of any description my daughter will love you forever.

I love all things Halloween

Pagan symbols

Nature forest

Faeries, goblins, in fact all magickal and fantasy folk (especially punky looking or Amy Brown style)

Spring, Autumn and Winter (don't like summer)

Jewel tones and earthy colours (Autumn in the forest)

I want these shoes Tattoo Babydoll
Gingham Kitty

I love history and foreign languages

My favourite comic characters are Delirium Delirium Death Death

My favourite Discworld characters are

Nanny Ogg Nanny Ogg Granny Weatherwax weatherwax

Russian orthodox Icons. I'm Pagan but I just love the images of Madonna and Child. Maybe because I'm a mothering sort icon

I'm also crazy about wolves and ladybugs wolves ladybug

Comment: Thank you so much for sending two delightful ATCs. That was really nice to send an extra one. My daughters and I collect stamps, so the one ATC with beautiful, detailed beetle stamps from Burbundi (in East Africa) was wonderful! The other ladybug card was extra special because both my daughters are adopted from China and the ladybug has a special meaning/significance to Chinese adoptive families.
Response: Glad you liked them. My daughter collects stamps too so I sometimes take the duplicates for crafting. Ladybugs are special to me too as Erin has been known as lil ladybug since she was born
