I am 29 (well at the end of March anyway), I am married (7 years this august) and I have two children, A son born in 2000 (who has ADHD) and a daughter born in 2004 (who has suspected ADD). I have two cats, who I adore. I am a big animal lover, in the past I have had, cats, dogs, hamsters, rats, rabbits, fish and birds. I have to admit fish do bore me, I much prefer an animal that you can cuddle. And Cats are my favourite, they are so full of character. I have never been without a animal for as long as I can remember.

I also love various other animals. My favourite are Elephants. I don’t know what it is about them, but they are amazing animals. Maybe it is the resemblance between me and them lol. Any animal from the feline family, monkeys, bears, even reptiles (but not creepy crawlies).

I don’t like creepy crawlies at all, especially ladybirds and spiders, oh and worms, ewwwwwwwwwwww.

I love soft girly colours, especially pink & lilac. I prefer silver over gold. Although both are nice. I do also like blacks and reds. I’m not a lover of greens, grays & browns. I love minimalistic as well as OTT. Love frills and lace and gems. Glitter I can live without but don’t not like it.

I love to cook although I don’t get as much time as I would like to do much, what with having my young daughter around, but that will change when she starts full time school later this year.

I don’t drink and detest being in loud busy places (I am acrophobic/claustrophobic), but I’m also not a party pooper. I just don’t see the fun in going in a nightclub, drinking so much that your ill afterwards, and when out giving yourself a headache because you have to shout because the music is far to loud. Id much rather go to a nice quiet idyllic country pub and drink fresh orange and have a meal and a chat that all this night clubs, night life.

My family and friends mean the world to me, I don’t socialise very much, but what friends and family I do have I would go to the end of the world for.

I don’t specifically have a favourite, but I have prefers. My style of music is something you can listen to quietly, as background music. I love soppy love songs and mood music. Especially Clanad, Enya, Celine Dion. I even love most of the 50’s & 60’s music.

I can’t stand the modern music, with its boom booms, and noise. You can’t call that music it is literally noise and annoying.

To be honest I don’t read that much, but when I do the books are usually ‘rags to riches’ I.e. Catherine Cookson. But my ultimate favourite book is ‘The unadulterated Cat’ by Terry Pratchett. I never have been into reading, but a friend of mine a few years ago said, I have a book you won’t be able to put down once you start. So he gave me the book to read, and he was right. I read the full book from cover to cover in 8 hours with only 1 half hour break. I have since bought the book and read it twice more.

I do read a lot of crafting magazines, does this count as reading books lol?

Well, this is something I don’t do very often, Usually to busy crafting than watching movies. so much so that I don’t really recall many names of movies that I do like. I do have a genre that I like to watch, and that is true life. I don’t mind watching some comedies, especially ones with Eddie Murphy in them. I did and still do love ‘Dirty Dancing’ classic film.

I don’t like B movies, Horror, Sci-fi. Basically everything my husband likes. Now maybe that’s why I craft so much on an evening, to save me having to listen to his taste in movies lol.

I rarely watch TV, It bores me. But then there are certain things I do like to watch (when I remember they are on).

Lost, Big Brother, House of tiny tearaways, Corry, Wife swap.

I have also recently watched a fair few documentaries. They never use to interest me, but i put them on as background noise at times, and then end up fixed watching them.

Oh, how could I possibly think of a favourite, or even a few favourites.

I have as long as I can remember been creative. I am never happier than when I am creating something.

I got into Card making November 2005, and got the bug fast. That soon moved over into scrapbooking. I also enjoy doing altered art, drawing, painting, ATC’s. Pergamano, Stamping, anything crafty basically. I will have a go at almost anything (craft related) providing I have the means to do it. Wont guarantee that they will be good, but I will have a go all the same.
