Hi! My name is Rosie, I’m 23 and I was born in Surrey, England but I now live and study in Leeds. I’m a law student by day, compulsive maker of things by night. I love to bake, sew and I crotchet a little. I’m new to swap-bot but I think it’s a fantastic idea. When my great aunt was alive she would send me letters, stickers and badges from New Zealand, it was so exciting to get a package from the other side of the world. So I'm very excited to join in!
I currently live in a tiny house with my boyfriend but dream of a cottage with a huge kitchen in the Yorkshire countryside. We don't have the room or garden for a dog but my family have a ancient greyhound and a manic lab/spaniel puppy. But we do have a part time ginger cat who likes to visit for milk and a cuddle. Her name is Simba, but we like to call her Number 6.
I nearly always rate as soon as I open, so if you think I should have received something that I haven't rated you for, please let me know. I'll always contact you before rating a 3 or 1. If you haven't received from me please, please pm me before rating and hopefully we can work it out. Thank you! xoxo
If you want a private swap please pm me! I might not always be able to say yes but I'll appreciate that you took the time to read my profile and make the offer!
I take delight in anything naughty, silly, clever, witty, geeky or heartfelt. Handmade is always welcome.
I'm not easily offended so feel free to curse away, the more elaborate the better.

Bobby pins
Pretty notebooks, note cards and stationary (preferably not spiral bound)
Pink sparkly things (yeah, shoot me!)
Brown paper packages tied up with string

My least favorite colour is orange

Not massively into Disney or hello kitty
I don't scrapbook or make cards so please don't waste lovely supplies on me!
Discworld, Jane Austen, Angela Carter, Raymond Chandler, Bridget Jones, Daphne du Maurier, Tintin, Dennis Mckail

My lovely boyfriend loves the idea of swap bot, but as it's mainly ladies on here there aren't many manly swaps for him. So If you feel like sending him a little something he would be thrilled! He likes:
All types of dogs particularly Alsatians/German Shepherd
WWI/WWII history
Orange chocolate
Snooker/pool/billiards
Mooses (seriously, he loves them)

the other side of the clipping was "crime baron's life of luxury dismantled." LOL!
Dear Rosie, I just want you to know how incredibly moved I was by your kindness and compassion in responding to my mother's death. You are really the sweetest. Other people were a big cold about me being late, but you actually mentioned my loss and said something nice about my mother. I cannot tell you what a big heart you have and how much your simple yet moving comment helped me towards healing. I guess we all want our losses to be taken seriously by the "outside world". You have an enormous heart. Thank you so very much.
Hi! Thanks! About the warning...I found that out the hard way! I love the idea of your "What's Going on in the World Today?" swap! I love this site!
Welcome to swap-bot!!! It's lots of fun...and addicting. LOL
