About Me

I am 27, a mother of four and I love to read. I am engaged to my High School Sweet Heart, we have been best friends since the age of 9 and we started dating at the age of 14. I love teaching our kids new and fun things; climbing trees, art & craft, cooking and reading & writing.

I am in the early stages of writing my own novel series and I one day hope to have my story made into a movie.

I am also studying Small Business Management as I want to start my own Party Plan Business. I love planning and hosting parties and dinners.

At the moment I am planning our wedding! (it has taken us 13yrs to get there but it was worth the wait)

Favorite Crafts

I miss working with clay, I hope that one day I will have my own kiln.

With our kids we make cardboard houses and pirate ships.

I have also discovered a love for Scrapbooking and Card Making!

My glue gun is nearly all ways on and I am running out of glue way to often.

I love to get creative with cooking to, from trying to flavours to making funny faces in hamburgers.

I am learning to machine sew and I hope to be able make more of my own clothes.

The kids and I upcycle our old clothes al the time and I hope they take the whole 'waste not' attitude into their adulthood.

Favorite Movies

I love classic horror movies from the black & white originals to the slasher movies from the 80's & 90s.

Romantic comedy and musicals are my faves too.

If I had to list ALL my Faves we would be here for a very, very long time!

Wedding Plans

We are having an Addams Family themed Wedding, on the 1st November 2014. I am having a blast planning our wedding, its hard and at time I want to tear my hair out. =) But its going to be amazing!

I am hoping to balance Gothic Glam, Dark Romance with Elegant Halloween.

I am wearing a gown by the designer Henry Roth - her name is Elma and when I found her it was an amazing feeling.

We are DIYing a much as possible, I am going to be making our wedding favours too. Voodoo Gingerbread men cookies, toffee apple slices and tombstone truffle balls.

What I love/What I dislike

I love cats and pigs. I am planning on owning a hobby farm one day with sheep, a goat, chickens, maybe a cow and of course PIGS! =)

I love strange and odd costume jewellery, I prefer silver and bronze over gold.

My fave colours are Red, Emerald Green, Pink, Purple, Silver and Black.

I love trying new recipes, desserts are my favourite, but I do love a great big home cooked dinner. Roasts, Lasagnes, Spaghetti, Mac & Cheese, Tacos & Wraps, Fried Rice - are my weakness.

I love apple Pie with Cream, Carrot Cake and Lemon Cheese Cake.

I cant stand cooked carrots, I love pumpkin soup but despise baked pumpkin.

I love family. We stand together, we work together but we also let people make their own mistakes.

When we laugh and have fun we really are amazing family, but on the flip side when we argue we are all drama queens and divas. I cannot stand conflict, I respect calm and respectful conversations like the adults we are.

I am not saying I have never been the immature brat and said some stupid things, but I have learnt that nothing helpful and productive comes out of a situation by acting like a brat.

Beilefs

I am a firm believer in Aliens and I also believe in a Higher Power. A lot of people say its one or the other, but I can not ignore amazing things that happen to us and say there is no Higher Power.

I have no time for judgmental people. I love a good chat about beliefs and values, but I don't want to be told I am wrong. I wont belittle you so don't treat me that way.

My heritage is a mix of the mystical and the religious. My Mum comes from a long line of celtic druids and I am excited to learn more about Ireland and Scotland. My Dad on the other hand is a religious man, he has nine brothers and sisters. His parents originally came from a small town in America.

My Mum raised me to be strong and independent, to fight for equal rights and stand up for the little man. She is a firm believer in working hard for your dreams. My Dad and his beliefs on woman are the complete opposite to that of my Mum's. But I do understand the benefit and the great feeling you get when you take care of someone and they truly appreciate what you did for them. My Dad can come across as a bit 1950's, but he taught me that it is its own reward in being selfless.

My kids =)

Jazmyn is a sassy young girl, she is 10 and thinks she knows everything. She can come across as a bit rude and obnoxious but part of it is an amour and the other half is her finding her own type of sarcastic humour. She loves anime and manga, Pop music, chocolate and is one step away from becoming a vegan or vegetarian. Jazmyn dreams of attending art school in Paris one day.

Liliana is very much a tom boy, she does love her girly dresses and make up but she loves her jeans and wrestling t-shirts too. She is 6 years old and loves to read & draw and rock out to country 7 rock. Lili wants to be a nurse by day and a rock star by night. She loves her new faux hawk hair cut.

Aleksis is our Princess, she wants to be the next Disney Princess in movies and up on stage. Aleksis is 5 years old and is loving school. She is shy and quite and holds her two closest friends to her heart. Aleksis loves spicy food and playing dress up. Aleksis reminds me of myself, quite and loves to read on a lazy day in the shade.

Maximus is 4 and is our youngest. He is very much a typical boy, I never took any stock into what people said about boys and girls being so different and I was proven wrong. Maxi loves to play fight, water fight, ninja people and scare his sisters. He is a prankster and loves to be chased around the house in a tickle war. Maxi wants to be a race car driver when he grows up and he wants to fly planes too.

Comment: It was sent late, but I got it. I've been scared to open it until now. Thank you for the items (just remember to try to fit them all into a bag next time). I especially love the painting and the scarf! The keychain of my favorite pairing is most excellent as well. Thank you! I put the scarf on Sherlock immediately; he loves it.

Comment: I hate having to rate a 3 as this is a wonderful package. I love the book in particular, but tge send by date on this was 20th June, you marked as sent on 20th June, but the printed postage is dated 2nd July. If you had let me know that there was a problem and you couldn't post on time, I would have been understanding, but there was no communication.

Comment: Lovely cards. I would not have thought of tie-dyeing or the firefly. I will have to look up salt painting and will be very awkward painting left=handed. Very creative.

Comment: Thank you for the two bookmarks. I am not sure if there was supposed to be something else as the envelope was very torn on arrival. There is a small metal ring with some bits of chain attached, but nothing else. It is always a good idea to tape all sides of an envelope to stop it getting torn in the post. They are not very gentle sometimes!
