Francella

I am 35 years old, from Malta. I have been married for over 14 years. Up until a few years ago we had a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Scamp ( I cannot get myself to remove this part), we have a tri-color cat called Tipsy, a gal English Setter we called Brew and her daughter pup Wick.

At this point in my life - I am trying to remain afloat, one foot after another, stay positive and be grateful.

My philosophy is 'it matters not where you're going, nor when you're going to get there; all that matters is the journey.'

I like listening to music, especially rock ballads.

I love animals - dogs and cats, dolphins, horses, tigers and lions, giraffes ... all of the animal kingdom - but horrified of snakes.

I love flowers, my favorite being Lilies.
I like anything Gorjuss, too :) I like things colorful, bright and cheerful though my favorite are pink & purple. I am also fascinated by images of angels, fairies, dragons, gnomes, unicorns and depictions found on oracle cards. I am a collector - I collect semi-precious stones and crystals, I collect shells, feathers, stamps, coins, photographs, stickers, Greek mythology statues and hand-written or blank Journals/diaries - which I write in regularly. I enjoy travelling to places rich in cultural heritage, with ancient landmarks and monuments, but also to places with natural, wild beauty where I can take landscape photographs.

My favorite book is 'A walk to remember'(also my fav. movie) by Nicholas Sparks. I like reading fairy-tales, myths and legends, and general chic-lit. I tend to lean towards book series too. And currently into manga (shoujo).

Books that I've enjoyed: Memoirs of a Geisha Harry Potter Jezebel - Eleanor De Jong Goddess of Spring - P.C. Cast The Hunger Games 'The Godfather - Mario Puzo Undead and unwed - MaryJanice Davidson Persephone - Kaitlin Bevis

Books by Sophie Kinsella, Lindsey Kelk, Kaitlin Bevis. Books where the protagonist travels to other countries / visits new places - like the' Lonely hearts travel club' book series & the 'I heart' series.

I do a lot of crafts; from crochet to sewing, to all sorts of paper crafts. Currently focused on Scrap-booking and cards making. I'm the kind of person who sees/thinks of something and will try to make it with my own hands - sometimes not quite successfully but on the whole I'm pretty happy with the results :)

The list is (virtually) infinite :) I like almost everything - in fact it would be easier to mention what I do not like (snakes, gory, nude people at the beach or wearing tiny swim wear)

I am sure whatever I receive I will like :) but if you're looking for inspiration:

Badly or carelessly made things. Broken or damaged things that I can't fix or up-cycle into something else.

Green Tea

Anything with Snakes on it.

Boyish manga and anime (the girly ones I love)

Images of horror, violence and abuse against other beings and against nature. If it's meant to sadden or shock the viewer (even to make him/her aware of some important reality) I don't want to see it - I don't need to see a picture full of tree stumps to know that too many trees are being cut down, destroying homes to many animal species.... The same goes for illnesses, sickness, injuries, blood scenes etc....

Mint flavored chocolates and those with raisins and fruits.

Citrus perfumes/scents

Skin care product (as a beautician I make my own) Make up ( again as a beautician I have cases full, to last me and my clients for a lifetime :) - ) Nail polish, unless it's gel polish (regular nail polish doesn't dry on my oily nails and I have tons of them - gel polish I have a whole range available too but at least those I use)

Short or frailed ribbons

Unsigned works of art - ATC, Postcards, drawings and paintings. - pls sign them :) every artist deserves credit for his/her work.

I won't rate down if I receive things from this list, because I know that not everyone reads their partner's profile but probably I will hold back on the heart in that case.
