Hi there guys,

My name is Emma, and I live in Australia and I am extremely new to 'swap-bot' but excited to start swapping!!

I have now sent away a few swaps, but please, if they don't arrive or you have a problem, please email me before giving me a rating so we can sort something out :). I will always try and fix a mistake, a misplaced post item or a misunderstanding. Cheers.

I am a Mum with 2 absolutely gorgeous, although very cheeky boys! They keep me busy but I love it. Being a Mum is fantastic! In my free time, I love to scrapbook, create ATC's (just started a local swap with a few girls), anything creative really. I also love to read - magazines, books, anything, and chill out in front of the t.v!

I am definately addicted to going to the movies - I'll go with friends, or with the hubby or with the boys, I don't really care, I just love going to the movies!!! Tattoos are also another interest of mine and do hope to collect more in the future. The art of them totally fascinates me and also the reason behind them... different ways of tattooing, the meaning of tattoos in different cultures and so on and so fourth... I have a nerdy obsession with scrapbooking - I am totally addicted... I think it is more the arty side of it rather than the meaning... it gets the creativity going and also lets me relax and just have some 'me' time - one day I might even get around to posting some of my pages....

Well, when I am not working, looking after the kids or building our house, I generally like to do anything that involves my family.... just hopping in the car and driving - not knowing where we are going and having a great time on the way, holidays - the beach, Grampians, QLD, wherever.., zoos, parks, wherever the day takes us actually...

I do have a soft spot for leaving my hubby in charge of everyone at home and nicking off to do some retail therapy... but don't all women enjoy that??

Definately a quiet obsession with magazines, house mags, craft, mags, real living mags, celeb goosip mags, you name it, I've probaby bought it at one time or another. But, my pet hate is when I buy a mag and before I have even had a chance to look at it some bugger picks it up and reads it... seriously... buy your own...!

Building OUR HOME!!!!! Absolutely one activity that brings a smile to my face - I can't wait until we move in!!!

Goodness. Fav music. This is a tough one. I really enjoy all types of music. I generally will give anything a go... Depending on what type of mood I am in will depend on what type of music I want to listen too.

I steer clear of country but if you think I might like it, show me what ya got :). No death metal. Not interested.

I do have a particular fondness for 80's music. Especially when it comes to 'Singstar'. Gosh I love that game!!!

I really enjoy reading and some of my fav authors at the moment are Paullina Simons, Jodi Piccoult and I have always been a fan of Bryce Courtney! I usually don't leave myself enough time for reading, but once I get going, I really get going!!! The latest book I have just finished reading was 'My sister Madonna' by her brother Christopher Ciccone. All I can say is "Interesting..... very interesting!"

Man, my Fav TV show change like there is no tomorrow - at the moment I am really lovin' 'Australian Idol'. I used to be totally addicted to 'LOST' but then it really really LOST me and now I don't know what the bloody hell is going on... So, I don't watch it anymore, although it isn't on in Australia at the moment! Heroes is number 1 on my list followed closely by Californication. It is good to see all the new CSI's and stuff back on telly as I was sick of watching repeats and terrible movies... 'Sex and the City' is bloody awesome - now repeats of those, I don't mind. I could watch them over and over :).

HHHhmmmmm too easy! Pink and black!!! Definately the BEST colour combination ever!!!

I do also like lime green and silver and I do LURVE bling!!! Bling is cool LOL!

I like any colour combination from your earth tones to your brights but I generally don't use pastel colours in my work, but this doesn't mean you need to avoid this.

I love:- Pink and Black, Stars, Skulls, Bling, Owls, ATC's, Stationary, Scrapping and scrap supplies, Acrylic stamps, Surprises, Birthdays

I generally will love anything anyone sends me as long as a bit of thought and effort goes into making it :).

I definately DO NOT like the smell, the texture and definately the taste of bananas so please avoid this. Thanks.
