Swapping.. I always send my swaps, if you haven't received one please email me before giving me a no send rating. I promise it's on it's way, and if for any reason it never arrives I would like you to give me the chance to re-send. Thanks xxx

About me.. love my boys, love my family, love my friends, love to craft, love to make a difference....

particularly enjoy stamping, scrapbooking and altered art....

Because I do altered art I collect a lot of bits and pieces, ribbon, buttons, tickets, coasters, you name it I collect it .. I can always find somewhere to stick it!!!!

like loads of different music, particularly people and bands that play real guitars!

Other things I like:

Handbags!

Love my food.. too much though!!!
Love a little drinkie now and then, and in between like a good cuppa tea or a frothy latte!

I like unusual.. different. I like to explore new places, countries, and learn more about new cultures Love to meet new people

I teach craft to kids, adults and people with learning difficulties which I get a great deal of enjoyment out of.

I generally get involved in papercraft type projects, although I do like playing with beads and wire, materials (for stamping and altered art). I'm not a great cardmaker but I have tons of stuff so should make more effort. I prefer stamping as a technique and will try most things related to stamping products! I love to scrapbook especially my boys.

I like to make jewellery and alter things. I really enjoy swaps at the moment that force me to try something new.

Colours that I'm into at the moment are pink and brown, light green and brown. Pinks, lilacs and purples. Blues of all desciption.

Send me anything you like I'm sure I can make use of it some how.

I am so easy! Just no gum..thanks...

I love to receive anything handmade.

I like wax melts, especially clean cotton type smells.

CHOCOLATE... I only like milk chocolate and I love prauline!

Prefer a good thriller. Really into crime forensic type novels at the moment.

Don't watch much, but totally addicted to CSI - Vegas of course. CSI Miami and Criminal Minds come a close second!

Films - I love musicals, and of course a good psychological thriller!

Pretty easy when it comes to music. My only dislikes are rap and heavy metal.

My family consists of lots of boys! My husband Tim is the best husband, friend and everything else! I could possible want for. This is a second marriage for both of us and we know we've got it right this time!

My boys:

Phoenix is 3 and a real poppit. He's so adorable to look at which makes it much harder to tell him off! He's the youngest and stands up for himself very well against his big brothers! He loves anything boys, but his particular favourite at the moment is spongebob squarepants and power rangers!

Kylan is 6 and is so much fun to be with. He has just got into computer games, although, thankfully he also loves crafting which I am so pleased about as he and I can spend quality time together doing something we both love. He also enjoys helping me bake (but I think that's so he can lick all the bowls clean!)

Kobe is 9, he is my step son and lives with us full time. He is adorable, sensitve and forgets everything! He loves to play board games as well as ride his bike, play computer games and watch tv. He also enjoys cooking with me and playing ball games with his dad.

Rosie is the newest member of the family she was born in July and is a black labrador/retriever cross. I never had any pets when I was a child so am trying to make up for it now! We've had (although no longer) hampsters and rabbits and several cats. I have a big fish full of fish.. and next on my list is chickens...just need to mention that to Tim!
