If any of my stuff didn't arrive that means is lost in the post. Contact me and I'll resend it.

I work with numbers and data as a day job but in my spare time I like creating. I discovered paper crafting in 2010 and now I am eager to learn and get better.

I specially enjoy making cards and paper quilling. I am learning to draw and watercolour as well.

I am involved in a project called mailart 365 (see my websites) where I have to make a card every day and mail it to strangers using postal services. I joined swap-bot to be able to share my creations and swap cards and ideas.

I am open to private swaps.

I love:

• flowers
• butterflies/dragonflies/ladybirds
• birds specially owls
• fish
• angels
• Japanese manga characters
• anything Japanese/Asian images/paper crafted
• landscapes and nature related cards in general
• stickers
• nice coloured/patterned craft paper/card
• rubber stamp images
• quilling paper
• hand made postcards/cards
• craft stencils
• craft magazines/books

I don't favour a colour. I like all of them.

I totally love paper quilling and if there is anyone who want to swap their quilling creations I'll be over the moon.

I DON'T LIKE PICTURES WITH ANIMALS, INSECTS (apart from butterflies/dragonflies/ladybirds) OR PEOPLE(apart from manga characters).

NO RELIGIOUS stuff please (I like angels though).

I have arachnophobia so NO SPIDERS please.

Oh and NO SCARY/GRIM things. They'll end up straight in the bin.

I like reading shojo manga books which is Japanese comics books for girls. Some of my favourite writers are Rinko Ueda, Yuu Watase, Ai Yazawa.

One of my favourite books that is not a manga book is Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

I am open to suggestions if you read an amazing manga book.
