About Me

hello badge pledge

I am adding a little note of appreciation here to all
my swap partners. Thank you so much for rating me and for the hearts. Thank you also to everyone who has left such lovely comments on my profile. :)

I live in Melbourne Australia, but originally from Adelaide South Australia. I enjoy genealogy, reading, music, photography, art, shabby chic pink stuff. My kitchen is extremely pink and have been told its 'twee' or 'nana/mumsie' but I don't agree, I think pink is friendly, comfortable and welcoming. I also collect handbags...another thing not understood by the males in my life, but I'm sure many of you understand completely! :) My favourites are 'skipping girl' 'LuLu' and 'kipling' (Just love those cute monkey keyrings!). I have joined the 'cupcake' collecting craze that is sweeping the world and just love anything with cupcakes on it! I enjoy visiting country towns with strange names :)just to see what is there (not very much usually). I have studied literature and visual arts theory at university and absolutely love anything arts related. I find the 'aesthetic' in everything so fascinating. I also enjoy a literary or art related analytical discussion. I have been very happy to discover ATC's and decorative matchboxes here on swap-bot and I am enjoying making and swapping those. If you are ever stuck for something to send, a matchbox or ATC decorated with the theme of your country/city/town would be fantastic to receive. If anyone has any old 'Arizona Highways' magazines, or pictures from them, I would just love those! I love glitter pens, gel pens, wool/yarn (can't have too much of it), stickers, postcards and stationery. I love coffee mixes and hot chocolate drinks. I am not making a list of 'don't likes' because I will be thrilled to receive anything that someone else has taken the time to choose or make especially to send to me. It is interesting to me to discover new things all the time and learn and share in what others like .
The only requests I make are: no christian/religious items/references; nothing violent or immodest. Thank you.

square hamsa

Favorite Crafts

Crochet is the only 'craft' that I am confident with. I like painting and drawing (but I'm certainly not an 'artist' by any means). I do enjoy using computer graphics programs and like to make digital art. I really want to get into making 'altered books' but so far all the ideas I have in my head and all the stuff I have collected to start, haven't amounted to anything because I find it too difficult to destroy a book ;)

♥ ♥ ♥ Thank you so much for the wish that you enclosed in my journal. Not sure what month that was for...Sept/Oct. It is, without a doubt, one of the most thoughtful tags I have ever recieved! In fact, I shed a few tears when I saw it! ♥ ♥ ♥

Thank you for the awesome Wishlist surprise. I love your classic color choice for the dish cloth and matching scrubbie. My 3-year-old thinks it's one of the coolest things ever. ;-) Thanks for your thoughtfulness; I just love handmade things!
