I've always loved most kinds of art, and 'tried' most of them. I've worked as a graphic designer (the old fashioned pencil, paper paint type, not pc) Sign writer, then changed direction and did a Beauty Therapy course, which included make up. Loved the Theatrical side and eventually went into teaching at colleges. Moved to Spain from UK for 6 yrs (then back!) Started teaching again, in my spare time I started making cards etc. Not working at the moment as I have a frozen shoulder, but getting better. Anyway, I've just recently become interested in ATC's. WOW, some fab work in them, oh and I used to make life size babies out of clay, and 6 inch fairies too. I take aLOT of pride in any work I do, and hope my swap partner does the same.I make sure it's something I'm so proud of that I want to keep it! Please put effort into the work you do. I know everyone's artistic ability differs, but I can see who has tried and made a real effort .........and the ones who just stick something on a peice of flimsy paper and call it finished

Easy reading, not that I read much, rather be 'doing' something. Love Sophie Kinsella books, craft mags , favourite being Craft Stamper, and the Somerset ones

Good comedies, nothing too heavy or depressing What women Want As Good As It Gets Something's Gotta Give Some Like it Hot How to Marry a Millionaire Gone With The Wind for costume Marie Antoinette (I'm always a late viewer) only watched it 2 weeks ago, love the costumes!
