Hello there, nice to meet you and thank you for looking at my profile. I'm taking a swap break at the moment because I'm carer for my elderly parents now and don't get much spare time as I work full time as well.
Thank you to everyone who has swapped with me in the past and my groups. I'll be back!
I am a 54 year old woman from Weston-super-mare,
a typical English seaside
I have three grown up children, two boys and a girl but no grandchildren yet, I'm hoping! instead I have ....
Cutey Cat, Charlie.
I love gardening, walking, swimming outdoors and wildlife. I love to cook but people don't always like to eat the results.
I can't drive to save my life and I'm not keen on exercise, apart from my Nintendo Wii
I am a bit of an ageing hippy and a geek. I like science fiction, horror and I'm interested in alternative lifestyles and people who are individual and different.
A big Lost fan, I was outraged by the finale, still angry now. Damn you Lindelof! (Sorry if you liked it)
Also into comics, graffitti, Banksy, zombie films, Dr Who, Star Trek, Day of the Dead, Battle Star Galactica, Inception, Ugly Betty and Oscar Wilde. In other words, I'm a bit odd....
I like to use recycled materials in my crfts an would like to create some swaps which cost nothing for materials but are full of creativity and imagination.
I have always been an activist who wants to stand up for what I believe is right. The ooks that helped form my opinions were The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists an The Grapes of Wrath.
If you are looking at my profile to see what I'd like in a swap, I'll say straight away that I'm not doing this to bag lots of expensive loot. I love hand made and meeting new people so if you send me something you've made yourself, especially if it has a personal touch, I'll be thrilled.
I also have a silly sense of humour, so watch out!

I work in an office now but when I was young, I went to art school and did some book illustration. I still think of myself as an artist and enjoy all things arty/crafty. I do craft fairs with my mum
(who can knit anything in the world.)
I like to try lots of different crafts. Just a few that I do........
I like designing webpages and blogs and have just started my own craft blog. I am going to put on my Swap-bot swaps, tutorials and craft chat. It's only just started but have a look and see what you think.
.
Like I said, I'm not grabby or picky but I don't like..
Thank you again for looking at my profile and I hope I get to swap with you soon. xx
My favourite authors are Stephen King and Phil Rickman, who writes horror stories about my part of the world.Recently, I've been getting into Jodie Picoult, lots of food for thought, it's like arguing with each of the characters. Although sometimes I think they are too formulaic.
I like so many different types of music but it's completely random. My children say the contents of my Ipod are proof that I'm insane. At the moment I'm into Brandon Flowers, of The Killers, Dory Previn, Eva Cassidy, and I've got that phrase by Seether stuck in my head:
"Who can tell if your soul will fade at all?"
Dawn of the Dead, Aliens, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Inception
This is what I pledged
I will rate for every swap I take part in.
I will rate fairly. I will only give a 1 rating if a swap hasn't been received and no contact has been made from the sender. I promise to pm member first to give them the chance to resolve the situation.
