I'm English and currently living in France. I've always loved France and decided to give it a go with my family, you only live once after all!

I love travelling and have visited lots of countries but there are still plenty of places on my wish list. I love chatting to people wherever I go and I find all the different cultures fascinating.

If you don't receive my swaps it won't be because I haven't sent them but I am reliant on international post so please don't give me a bad rating. Just contact me instead.

I love most things crafty, it must have all started with watching Blue Peter on TV all those years ago.....I'm into card making at the moment, stamping, embossing, die cutting, you name it. I love learning about Tim Holtz techniques.

The trouble is I see other ideas and crafts and then want to have a go at those too, I'm running out of stash space!!!!!!!!!!

I find this a hard one to answer as I have varied tastes and it depends upon my mood. As a student I was into the usual Pink Floyd, David Bowie etc but I like to discover new music wherever it may be from. I now love a good beat and singing along to most music!

Currently into biographical , autobiographical and historical concerning the lives and conditions of people in the area of France where I now live. I also collect vintage illustrated childrens books ( I think it's the child within me who just refuses to grow up!!!)

I love anything vintage: annuals, including foreign as well as ephemera, postcards and photos.

I watch medical/hospital dramas, costume dramas, documentaries, love programmes about travel and craft channels.

Anthing pretty or vintage, however also into the grunge look including lots of techniques. I love to add to my own repertoire of techniques so really appreciate it if you take the time to tell me how you achieved the look. I collect antique sewing materials for future use i.e. buttons, lace etc and I love narrow ribbons.

I buy scented toiletries and make up but rarely use the make up, I'm still a student/boho at heart and what you see is what you get!

I like gardening and currently have a rented garden right outside the back door and our own smaller one up a slope and surrounded by trees. I'm working on the rented one but need to tackle the other one before it turns into an uphill struggle (literally!!).

Would love to receive packets of seeds, I grow flowers, herbs and vegetables

Pretty much anything goes. I love all colour tones, whether they are more muted, antique, or more vibrant and contemporary.
