ShaziaK

I spent all my life in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, until I moved to India (my native country, although Riyadh will always be home!) a few years ago, for college.

As long as I was in school I didn't give a thought to ALL the awesome stuff my mom would make (sew, cook, knit, embroider.....!). To her credit, she tried to teach me something (anything!), but I wasn't interested then. Now that I don't live with her, I wanna learn it all!! Which I will, but sadly, it'll take time :(

I don't really celebrate most holidays, so I won't be participating in those swaps.

I don't like pictures of anything living (except plants- no animals, birds, etc), so please don't send me those or expect me to make any. I know its odd, but I'd appreciate it if you respect that :)

Aaah, where do I start? ;)

absolutely love thrillers, crime-based novels & chick-lits.

Some of my fave writers:

Jane Austen (P&P ♥)

John Grisham

Jodi Picoult

Jeffrey Archer

Danielle Steel

J.K.Rowling

Debbie Macomber

Jude Deveraux

Julie Garwood

Janet Evanovich

(I have absolutely no clue why so many of their names start with a J!)

I also love the chicken soup series. And no offence to anyone, but I cannot stand the twilight books. I don't like anything with a sad ending (for example Titanic).

Drawing (I'm studying fashion design)

Embroidery

Scrapbooking

Baking (I don't know if that counts as a craft, but hey, its just as awesome!)

Cooking (ditto above)

Accessories (Jewellery, Belts, etc)

Sewing

to laugh

Chocolate ♥

Sports (I'll play almost anything I can. I'd rather play than watch)

Cookbooks (omg who doesn't!)

Stationery (a girl can never have enough!)

Kittens ♥

Ribbons

Beads, buttons

Pink, Brown, Black, Silver, Blue. (actually, i like almost all colors, but these were the first to come to my mind. Except for pink, I would marry it if I could ;)

Riyadh (and I miss it terribly)

Bags (ofcourse.)

Letters (there's something nostalgic and exciting about them!)

Sarcasm, clever puns.

I'm a romantic at heart (even though I don't celebrate Valentine's), and get excited about the smallest wonders. I'm a dreamer. I love making things for others. I hate anything gory or even remotely creepy.

I just realised that the above makes me sound like an angel, but I'm not ;) Both my brothers consider me to be a pain in the neck, I laugh like a lunatic (so I've been told) and I'll put chilli in your tea if you piss me off. (just kidding!)

I hate being rude to anyone, so please be nice in your comments
