I’m 34, married and have 5 children, 4 boys and 1 girl. I live in the south of England in a seaside town called Bournemouth. I love all crafts and have just discovered atc's, but I also do scrapbooking and sewing. I’m not to keen on card making and only really make cards for family and friend. I also love to read, go walking, cinema and shopping although most of my time is spent with the kids. Have said that I love sweets and ice cream, which is true, but have recently been diagnosed diabetic so no more of the good stuff for me. I have joined this site as I would like to do more swaps than I’m doing now and hopefully some internationally. Like I say I’m pretty new to all this so it may take me a while to see how this site works but hope to do many swaps and make lots of new friends

I pledge to other swap-bot members to:

Rate for every swap i take part in.

Rate as soon as i am able to get on line after swap is received.

Rate Fairly, I will only give a 1 rating if a swap hasn't been received and that no contact has been made from the sender. I promise to pm member first to give them the chance to resolve the situation first.

I will only give a 3 if i feel that the swap didn't meet the requirements and that the partner choose's not to correct the swap.

I will try and leave a message on all ratings to state what i received and what i was happy with, even if its just a thankyou.

I will not use slander or badmouth anyone when given a rating, facts is all that is needed when rating a 1.

Meatloaf, abba, queen, 60's and 70's don't really like the modern stuff that my kids listen to

Love all fantasy books and Steven King but I will give anything a go

Harry Potter is a fav

Atc, fat pages, scrapbooking, just got back into sewing and i love dottee dolls but looking to try anything different

I will watch all movies I don't really have a favourite but really like musicals, fantasy, crime and comedy.

Lost, prison break, hero’s don't really watch much telly to busy crafting

Yellow, red, purple, green and autumn colours

Love vintage and fairies but really like things that are different and unique

Really hate butterfly’s and flowers apart from these I’m open to anything really

Like fantasy this includes every thing to do with fantasy, fairies, dragons, unicorns, mermaids anything cute or dark love them all,

Books love teen fiction and horror mostly don't like non fiction but open to anything else,

Craft supplies especially stamped images, rubber or clear stamps, inkpads, papers, embellishments, beads, buttons, fibers, ribbons, fabric, charms any thing for sewing. Really hate glitter, funky foam, sequins and butterflies,

Little Knick-knacks well what can I say I love all the little things that come from gift shops magnets, badges, bookmarks, stationary, joke or saying plaques and postcards, mugs, coasters, scented things but only in vanilla or lavender, fantasy ornaments these can be anything but fierce looking dragons I have always wanted a cute dragon ornament but they only seem to do fierce ones in England. Don’t like animal or Disney ornaments, only characters I like are diddl, snoopy, me to you, hello kitty, betty boop, forever friends, Mickey mouse and friends, winnie the pooh and friends. Ok just discovered kawaii and really like it so anything like that is fine. I love stationary and writing sets and this is the only thing that I don't mind having cute animals on.

Sweets and chocolate but must be diabetic and hate dark chocolate or fruit in it.

Clothes and accessories this can include bags, scarf’s, gloves and purses and love hair slides but not bands as I have short hair, only no socks I don't wear them or tights and hats drive me mad,

Makeup nothing in bright red really like natural tones but don't wear nail varnish,

Jewellery love all ear rings and pendants must be silver only I can't wear surgical steal and don't like gold also no bracelets as I’m a large girl and they tend to be a little tight brooches are fine, really like semi precious stones amethyst being my favourite and my birthstone.

Picture frames really love these but mainly little ones not ones that hold pictures bigger that 6" x 4" and not plain pine one's the more decorative the better this goes for mirrors too.

I also like glass but no big vases, I especially like the glass sun catchers that you hang in windows. I would really love a glass slide pendent

Dolls only rag type dolls no porcelain ones, they can be fairy prefer small ones and little teddies but no beanies and only dragons in stuffed animals

Christmas, I love Christmas and would be happy with anything that’s Christmassy and the same for Halloween I love it all be it cute or gross

Also love all handmade goods much better than bought

Dislikes Animals really don't like anything with photos of animals on it unless it's a dragon or unicorn but cute little cartoon animals are fine

Butterflies I love butterflies but don't use the in my crafts find them a little boring and predictable, I do use flowers in my crafts but don't like things with flowers on them e.g. mugs, coasters

I don't like Disney princess or most of the modern Disney characters but I do like Mickey and friends and winnie the pooh and friends.

I do love all sweet things but as I’m diabetic I cannot have anything with sugar and I don't drink alcohol or tea but love coffee
