About Me

After my post about loosing my creativity, I got the news that the doctors have said that there is nothing more they can do for Mom and that it's just a matter of time now. Understandably this has affected my swapping and I am a little behind. I'm trying to make contact with everyone but my head is a mess, if I don't get in contact with you please rest assured that you won't be flaked on and I'm only a week or so behind. I apologise. If I haven't rated you, it's probably an oversight and I'll need a little nudge so please don't leave it, message me!

Once my current swaps are ove, I'm not sure what will be happening. I'll try not to completely vanish, but we all know how unpredictable life is. Big shout out to the following for being there for me: RobinT, Joanandemma, LilyLemon, Kittenmeowmeow, Courtney, dragonfly, all those at swap addicts. Another big shout out to the following for keeping me entertained and inspired: postmuse, cooan, clayshaper. I'm sure I have forgotten some as my brain is all scatterbrained at the moment. If so please don't be mad :) Biggest shout out to Rachel and Travis. you guys have touched the lives of over 8000 people. Not many can say that :)

Please let me know when you are sending to me if it is a large package.

When declaring items on the customs labels, please don't declare edible items, for all other items, please declare as 'crafts', 'craft supplies' or 'craft exchange items'. These get though to me for sure.

If you are in a position to please consider retaining proof of postage. It helps if I have any difficulties with lost items. Thanks!

I'm a member of WLS Whole Lotta Swappa

Biography:

I am a mom of 2 happiliy married living in the UK.

We have a long haired white and ginger cat called Brie. She has come to live with us to help me with my depression. She likes thigs with bells, spiders and things trapped in a box. By this I mean she like us to dangle her toys ina box rather than chase them, I guess she just can't be bothered to stalk her prey!

My Daughter: Milli is 3 and likes anything pink girly and loves disney princess and dora. She is forward for her age and she loves trying new crafts.

My Son: Blake is 8 months and is into anything he shouldn't be lol!

My Hubby: Mat loves funky but dark things, Tim Burton inspired stuff, computer games and retro characters, reading, cars, making and un-making things, typical man things really.

I am pagan following the nature path, though I don't discuss religion unless asked.

My Birthday:

4th August. I'm a leo.

Due to the unreasonable cost over here, I am in desperate need of rubberstamps un mounted/mounted, store bought or handmade anything goes but I am especially looking for non cute stamps in a nature theme or a face or one of those background stamps with random words (not quotes). If I find one in my mail box I will always give a heart :)

I'm not particularly obsessed with vintage but it that's your thing then I'll like it cause you made it!

Favorite Books:

I love Terry Pratchett.
I like reading mostly fantasy.
I'm not keen on chick lits.
I am still reading LOTR but now I am reading silance of the lambs after picking it up in the bath when there was nothing else to read (hubby's book). I don't normally read this kind of book but I'm finding it quite good.

Favorite Music

Bands with celtic influence like The Corrs and Enya. Songs that make you want to explode with singing and dancing.
