I am a 30 year old Optical Dispenser from Adelaide, Australia. I live with my partner and my cat and we are expecting our first child in July.

I currently work PPT because of a car accident that I had last year, and the Dr won't allow me to work more than 25 hours a week, So I have quite a bit of free time on my hands.

Update 03/02/2012

I have a new addition to the family. Not the baby, that's still Baking...... I am looking after a Cat for a friend, so for the forseeable future Monkey is also part of the Family.

I love crafting of pretty much any kind, maybe except knitting (I can't knit to save my life).

The ones I mostly enjoy are:

• Scrapbooking
• Making ATC's
• Journaling & Art Journaling
• Photography
• Sewing
• Baking & Cooking
• Painting & Drawing

I have just discovered Smash/Junk Journals as well and I must say I am in love!

And Many Other things.

I listen to most types of music, but I am especially fond of 80's music, such as Madonna, Michael Jackson, Dire Straits, Jimmy Barnes, Cold Chisel, plus many more.

I am also a fan of newer music from the likes of David Guetta, Snoop Dogg, Pitt Bull, Britney Spears, Adele and many more.

I will pretty much read anything that can keep me engaged beyond 2 pages. Mostly I read historical fiction, things like Phillipa Gregory, and also the occasional historical non-fiction.

I am currently reading The Holy Man by Susan Trott, very interesting book along the same lines as the Canterbury Tales. It was lent to my buy the optometrist that I work with.

I will watch pretty much anything, except for thrillers, and movies that are all gore.

My favorite movie of all time is Now and Then, I love the whole movie it is like Stand By Me for girls.

I actually don't watch television that much the only thing that I really watch is Glee and Once Upon A Time, I also occasionally watch Hardcore Pawn, Swamp People, Sherlock (the new series), Top Gear (The Good verson with, Clarkson, May and Hammond), & Grimm.

I was a really big fan of Charmed when it was on TV, now I watch the DVD's probably once every 6 months.
