About Me

I have come back to swapbot after a long hiatus (12 or 13 years). Life got crazy busy but I always wanted to come back, and finally made the time. I am a Mum to 2 kids 12 & 17 and 2 cats and wife to my best friend of 25 years.

Things I like to do

  • I love to read (almost) all genres, and write fantasy, spec-fic and YA.

    • I will try almost any craft, currently focusing on fiber/yarn crafts, such as spinning, weaving, crochet, needle felting and wet felting. I also love to sew, and have too many wips to count.

    • Papercrafts inclding scrapbooking, journaling supplies envie making, atcs etc.

Colours, patterns etc...

My favourite colours are purple, blue and green. I am not a big fan of pink or yellow, but I can tolerate them ;). I do like the odd paisely pattern but not bold geometric patterns. I also like the old faded postmarked/mappy background print(if that makes any sense!!).

Animals

All animals, including prehistoric. Hippos, marine life, reptiles, birds of prey...

Wishlists (stuff I love gettin

Stuff I am always using:

Writing prompts

Reading suggestions

Bookmarks (handmade, store bought, free adverts whatever)

Labels with my swapbot name for putting in with swaps/ address labels etc

Rinestones and pearls (the stick on variety, obviously)

12x12 scrapbook page refills with 6x4 photo inserts

Paper and fabric flowers (the scrapbooking type)

Brads

Washi tape

Novelty usb flash drives :)

Stamps/stickers/address labels with "I love snail mail"

Writing paper

Comment: I'm so glad with the Nana comic. Number 1 and 2 aren't on my list because I already have them. I can't wait to start reading the third part. It was a great choice, thank you.:-D
Response: I hoped that would be the case - but with a wishlist of over 1300 books, I couldn't be sure! :) thanks for the heart :)

Comment: A little late, but I understand that sick children take priority! Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the book with me. I love Neil Gaiman, but I haven't read any of his books for younger audiences; this sounds like one I would enjoy.

Comment: Thanks for your review of three things you've been reading . I don't think the Book Thief, as a movie was broadly released here, I don't remember any ads for it.

Comment: Thank you for your thoughtful answers! I know what you mean about this genre being "short-term" compelling, then realizing after the fact that sometimes the books are quite silly. I enjoyed reading your replies. :-)
Response: thanks - I'm glad you understood what I wasn't talking about - I thought maybe it was just me :)

Ha! That's hilarious! I see her posts in your comments. She's done 7 of the swaps too - this is the first one she's missed.

Bucket on May 18, 2011:

Just noticed you haven't joined the new Mystery Microfiction swap and I didn't want you to miss it if you didn't know about it - here's the link: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/89267

user2637 on May 13, 2011:

Haha, I did that in my Microfiction! I did president of the Paris (my other word) Street homeowner's association. Great minds... ;)

user2637 on Mar 26, 2011:

I know, right! So funny! Bucket sent me my words and your words and I just laughed and laughed. :):)
