Hello, I am Helen, I'm 30 and an RAF wife with a 8 year old son and a 1 year old baby girl. I grew up in Cornwall (UK) by the sea and love going back whenever i can. When I'm not up to creative mischief or changing nappys I like reading, lazing around in the sunshine, shopping and eating out.

I love anything crafty - I enjoy scrap booking, painting with acrylics and watercolours, sewing, card-making, quilling, journalling, making fimo creatures, drawing, crochet, jewellery making, glass and silk painting ....amongst lots lots more. I also love kids crafty activities with my son and the baby is constantly covered in glitter....!

Anything from the 80's !

Anything girly really - Grease, Dirty Dancing, P.S I love you, Confessions of a Shopaholic, Four Weddings, The Notebook..

I am addicted to all stationery and paper-type things - ephemera (especially vintage-style), memo sheets, stickers, decorative tape, book plates, die-cut shapes, mailing labels, library cards, postage stamps etc etc

I've recently discovered K and Co Smash books and am working on the pink one... So anything "smashing" like journalling pads/sheets, pockets, tabs etc would make me happy : )

I adore Kawaii flake stickers, the dinky memo pads and letter sheets. The food and animals with smiley faces are oh-so-cute but any themes would be appreciated for my very new collection!

Oh and any "pieces" from K and Co. Die-cut Ephemera packs - these are fab!

I love Beatrix Potter illustrations and Quentin Blakes from the Roald Dahl books and any Sylvanian Families stationery or stickers.

General themes I love:

1. Pink
2. Hedgehogs
3. Matryoshka Dolls
4. Nature - especially cute forest critters
5. Cats
6. Ditsy Flower Prints
7. Kawaii
8. Small buttons
9. Beatrix Potter Characters
10. Seaside and shells
11. Polka dots and stripes
12. Owls
13. Cute bugs - ladybirds/snails/bumblebees
14. Strawberries

And my son loves Lizards and would love anything for his Lizard scrapbook!

Please nothing political, religious, gothic, tatty, involving black themes, skeletons, skulls... Not a big fan of disney stuff.

I hate flakers - I will always send out and always on time so if you have not received a swap please contact me and let me know and I will happily re-send if necessary : )
