I'm a happily married stay at home 32 year old mum to 2 young Kidlets, a boy and a girl by day and a cake decorating, small business runner by night =) Scatty, disorganized and love everything crafty. Ive got loads of big ideas but rarely have the time to complete it all... Ive recently had a problem with depression and anxiety so have gotten into Yoga, meditation and attempting to find some zen =)

I love Stephen King books especially The Dark Tower series and the Stand. also Traci Harding's The Ancient Future series for some romantic Sci-Fi and Twilight is pretty good also... and a little bit Harry Potter Obsessed! Occasionally i read grown up books ....

I like - making softies, Crochet, Sewing and picture journaling usually with a number of projects going all at once

would love to try ATC's but im pretty hopless at drawing and paper craft..

Im Mildly (as in extremely) addicted to Tea, anything Blue, Buttons, pretty fabric, yarn, getting mail that isn't a bill, quirkyness, small things, toiletries from hotels, stationary, the weird and wacky, candlelight, sugary goodness, FREE STUFF, massage, eco friendly, pretty photos, countryside, freedom, dancing, giving gifts, getting gifts, my dog, geocaching, nowhere to be, stickers, finishing a project, Coins from other countries, postcards, aromatherapy... and i could go on forever

pink... slightly allergic, religion just not my thing, my sons bodily fluids, needles and the dentist, bugs, internet advertising, country style crafts, hidden costs, heavy metal music

i like a wide range of music especially stuff from the 60's and 70's, music with a groovy beat that you can dance to (but not really top 40 stuff, sometimes it surprises me tho) and chilled out beats.

Some FAV artisits include: David Bowie, Blondie, Empire of the Sun, Jamiroquai, The Cure, Radiohead, Muse, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Jimi H, Powderfinger Etc...

WOULD LOVE - if you are making me a mixed CD, i would love to get something you think i might not have heard before, like a local band or something a bit quirky..

NOT FUSSED ON - heavy Metal, Country, Opera, Rap (but im open to a bit of it)

Australian - 20c ACT Centenary of federation Any pre-decimal coins

Euro- Any commemorative and almost any from most countries in the euro but contact me first if possible..

UK - new design 2p, 20p 50p and any 1or 2 pound coins

And any other country also LOVE pressed pennies...

i Love Tea! All types of Black tea, mint and herbal teas are my faves but love to give new things a try.. however, Green tea and Cinnamon flavored ones are a bit yuck.

i also collect tea tags.. you know, the little bit of paper on the end of the string... i know, a little bit odd.

Due to the strict quarantine laws in Australia only sealed tea bags are allowed in. (ive had some confiscated before)

Happy Swapping!
