THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED TO CANCER RESEARCH THROUGH MY LINK - THE TOTAL RAISED BY MY TEAM WAS £2476 AND THE GRAND TOTAL FOR THE RELAY FOR LIFE WAS OVER £82,000!! AND THE ACHIEVEMENT WAS DISCUSSED IN THE SCOTTISH PARLIMENT!:)
If you don't receive your package from me please PM me and let me know before leaving a rating... so I can investigate!
I like to think I put heart and soul into making my swaps.
All my swaps are made in a pet and smoke free environment.
Hello, I live in Scotland. I am very happily married with 2 great but cheeky children,and am a qualified jeweller. I love to make jewellery (silver) and am currently trying to build up my own business, children and husband allowing.
LIKES:
I love anything out of the ordinary - faeries, goblins, vampires, ghosts, fairytale and gothic.. I like the dark side of otherwise mundane or cute things.....I am always looking for inspiration for my Jewellery.
Autumn is my favourite time of year - cool and crisp but not freezing cold!!
My favourite flowers are Nasturchums (spelling!!)Lilies, Orchids and lavender.
My fav colours are Purple, Black and Pink.. I also love the Autumn colours, dull gold, burnt orange, vivid red etc..but there aren't any I don't like.
I love chocolate, red wine (preferably together), black cherries, frogs, butterflies, rainbows, the sea, the smell of rain, thunderstorms, (lightning is VERY sexy), cappuccinos, snowflakes, watching the stars and gazing at the moon...journals - although i'm often reluctent to write in them!!
I don't follow a religion...I was brought up christian but am leaning towards pagan....
I like the smell of woodsmoke, Lavender, peach, fresh coffee and bread!
I love walking through crunchy leaves in the Autumn, frosty ones in the winter, and barefoot in wet grass in the summer!
Christmas..the lights, smells, traditions and the total delightful innocence of my children.
Halloween..come on who doesn't..the one chance you get to dress up and go out in public without people pointing and staring!! but seriously..I love the whole feeling that it's a special time, the transition from Autumn to Winter.
Photography: have always loved to take unusual pictures but had no-one to share them with until...SWAP-BOT!! yahoo!!
Emailing and my computer, my family and long hot bubble baths.. (without the family!)
Traveling - I love to visit other countries. I have the book '1000 places to see before you die' i'm working my way through it!! so far i've been to Malta, America, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Lapland, Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, France, Spain, India, Bahamas, Dubai, Tenerife, Lanzarote,and Majorca.! phew..
There's not much I dislike really..Tea, Liver! Racism, (obviously that comes before the other two!) lemon flavours (like the smell though),chewing gum - that's about it.!
I would love to receive anything.....handmade or otherwise. I LOVE getting things in the post, makes me smile to know someone's thinking of me.
Things i'm curious about.....
POCKY - no idea what this is but everyone seems to like it!!
KAWAII - not much experience with it!
Wicca/Pagan practices...would love to know and receive more about this from the people who really know!!
I'm sure i'll add others soon!
MY FAMILY:
My daughter (9) is a real girlie girl... and a bit of a Diva She likes drawing, faeries, unicorns, mermaids, pink, purple, glitter, fluff, dress up, the works!! she loves to get things through the post - just like her mum!! Her fav programmes/tv is H2O, Hannah Montanna,HSM, anything on the Disney Channel!
My son (12)is a Star Wars fanatic, loves lego, cars of any kind (takes after his dad!) does judo, likes drawing (mainly manga),writing - currently in the middle of writing a novel, the colours black and green, skulls, vampires, demons - (think Darren Shan) - reading and music. He thinks my parcels and cards are 'COOL'..
My husband has his own business, he likes reading - crime/court thriller type, wine (red) cars and car magazines, films, watching Scotland lose at rugby (we always do!) and playing his PS2. He can not grasp the idea of swap-bot or the idea of spending money on some one I don't know,then more money to post it out to them! He thinks i'm insane, and in need of help, but he smiles, tolerates me, follows me around the shops, and I love him to bits for it!
Linkin Park, Aerosmith, snow patrol, Blink 182, Pink, Evenescence, Fall Out Boy............
Moulin Rouge, Armageddon, I always, always cry at the end! I love the old Marilyn Monroe films, thrillers and scarey -makeyoujump-films.:)
Heros, Las Vegas, lost, Supernatural, grays anatomy, Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives!
jewellery,(obviously) ATC's, scrapbooking, i try sewing on occassions! I'm hooked on Dotees just now...they're FUN!! I like altered art too. - I love the altered text swaps.

My Flat Me arrived today... and I really wish I could give you a heart for it! I laughed so hard when i saw you'd put a kilt on my Flat Me. And since I read the Outlander series I have been sooooo wishing to visit Scotland. Now I have a scrapbook album of "me" drinking a beer in the Highlands! So awesome!!!
And thank you so much for the postcards and notebook. I love it all!
