Sadly due to Royal mail postage hikes as of May 2012 I am now severely restricted to what I can post and to where. I have really enjoyed my time on swap Bot but finances mean I simply cannot continue save the odd flat swap here and there. Thank you to all those who have been partnered with me or joined one of the swaps which I have hosted. I hope to return to swapping one day but for now I say farewell.

I'm a 34 year old mum to two girls aged 13 and 7 and one boy who is 5.

I live with my husband and children in London. My son has Achondroplasia (dwarfism/little person) so I haven't worked full time since he was born as he has always had lots of hospital appointments to attend.

I get bored really easily so fill my time with cooking, gardening and crafting. I strive to be greener and cleaner and base my life round my beliefs as a hedgewitch.

I am really hard to offend as long as something is meant well but hate rudeness and bad manners. Manners cost nothing and go a long way.

I have wide tastes in music but admit to being a bit stuck in the past. So anything late 80's or 90's and you'll find me rocking along generally. I dislike Jazz, really heavy metal and wouldn't cry if RnB took a back seat for a while but even then the only thing I really ever turn off is my husbands talk sport radio show. My particular favourites are Newton Faulkner, Cranberries, Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Queen and Alanis Morissette.

I love anything Wicca, Witch, New Age and at the moment I am really getting into pagan beliefs in England and magic through the ages.

I also love Historical Novels but you'll generally find my head stuck in cookbooks, sewing books, spell books, gardening or craft books.

I will watch ANYTHING except 28 days later. I do have a few favourites though.

Labryinth (David Bowie in tights, who wouldn't), Legend (with Tom Cruise, before he got all up himself), Top Gun ( when he got a little bit up himself). I like all the James Bond movies, Star Trek movies and anything by Tim Burton.

I love giving everything a go once, but if you can make it with a sewing machine then I'm happiest.

I've started making ATC's, hand drawn, painted and collage style and am really loving doing those, especially where there is a pagan/mystical or dark theme.

I really enjoyed making a journal recently so more of those are on the cards.

I make pagan items such as wands, altar cloths, annointing oils, perfume oils, matchbox shrines, book of shadow pages and anything else that tickles my fancy really.

Rap music and music aimed at the under 18's. I think they call it pop, but as I'm getting on a little I find I dislike it more and more. I'm beginning to sound like my mother,lol.

Star Trek. Dr Who. BBC Period dramas are usually pretty good in my opinion. Grand Designs- who would't want some of those houses.

I refuse to watch sport on TV, especially football and I really don't enjoy endless repeats on Disney Channel or Playhouse Disney. Unfortunately it seems to be what's on most in my house with three kids and a husband who loves sport!!!!!

I pledge to rate fairly and within a few days of receiving your package, I will contact you before dishing out any bad rates to give you a chance.
Also I really appreciate when you rate me, I take time and effort over all my swaps so please bear this in mind even if the item is not to your taste or not what you expected, although I ALWAYS read your profile so hopefully this shouldn't happen.
