About Me

I am a chef by trade. Love cooking desserts, Italian food and feeding my family with good food made with love. I love anything to do with cooking, whether it is cook books, recipe cards or vintage cooking things. I love it all! I have a love affair with Mrs Beeton.

Love paper stationary; crochet; cross stitching and colouring in!

I have a 22 month old daughter, who is amazing and just starting to talk. My husband is the nicest man in the world and puts up with me talking a million miles an hour!

I am a social media junkie and just started studying a Bachelor of Business.

Favorite Music

I am a massive 80s music fan.; Think Hall & Oates, Huey Lewis and the News, Toto, U2.....so many more!

I also love pop music and every now and then jazz and classics like Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.

Comment: Thanks a lot for the beautiful envelope you used. Wow, may be the most beautiful piece of mail I have ever seen. And thanks for the airmail themed goodies. I abosuletly love airmail envies! It would have been nice to hear something about why you love snail mail (was in the swap description). Oh, and next time donƂĀ“t forget to mention the name of the swap somewhere to avoid confusion.
Response: Oh! I am so sorry that I didn't write that. I thought I did on the envelope the mail name. I love airmail because of comments like the one that you left me! :) Thank you for the feedback!
