May 2020 Update We finaly got our home fixed so it could be lived in 3 1/2 years ago but sadly in the mean time my DH lost his final battle with cancer so was not with me to see that happen. I also had a brush with a cancer in my mouth when he was still well enough to look after me. It was cought early so only needed surgery to cut it out. So lost part of my tounge. Since he died I have had a 2nd cancer but all good again after majour head I neck surgery but also eartly so that was all that was needed. I'm finaly starting to get my head around all the very very late swaps and sorting group membership out of groups I was a founder off. I have even starting to write agin the first since the earth shook.

January 2012

SO SORRY FOLKS!!!

Sorry for any swaps that I may owe you! The reason is because further earth quacks on December 23rd and 31st has make our home uninhabitable and we have been advised not to enter it. We have been going in quickly to get cloths and other essentials but my computer is still in there. We are living in a friends spare bedroom and I now have Scotts lap top to work on and internet access, YAA.

I am returning to study as well as continue to work full time so I will not be doing so many swaps in 2012.

Well except for photos as I will still be taking lots and lots of photos :-)

If you still are waiting then it is missing and I will resend, Please PM me.☺

If a swap does not arrived please let me know as I will resend. Mail from New Zealand can be very quick and then for some reason it can take what seems like forever. Thanks

I have been a member of Swap-bot since June 2006. I'm female with a DH and one son of 32 and we live within the sound of the sea on the edge of the city.

Favorite colours are in the blue, purple, pinks for all the year except at Christmas when they are all the Christmas coulours.

I drink my coffee black and strong and a little herbal tea-mainly citrus blends, also in one swap I got a packet on hot spiced cider red delicious, yum yum.

My tip-in size is 8 1/2 x 11 and folded so 2 pages of 8 1/2 x 5 1/2.

I am a mad collector and collect magic lanterns, plates, egg cups, optical toys, pigs, dolls, scraps, rubber stamps, cat postcards, hand made postcards, very old Christmas cards and Christmas decorations to name but a few.

DH and I belong to a group that care for an Edwardian house in Ferrymead Historic Village and dress Edwardian quite often for different goings on in the village and for fundrising projects.

I read Si Fi, craft mags and poetry.

I'm in love with my digital camera and it goes almost every where with me.

I am slowly getting back into a little writing after working long hours and a morning of voluntary work on one of my “days off”, Also editing a magazine for a organisation I belong to. I have been writing short stories and very bad poetry. It is something I am really enjoying getting into once more.

jaz and blues

all si fi

hospital dramas and crime and si fi

all paper crafts. all colours and styles excet crude and dark arts. I love taking photos and swapping them. Altered books and hand made postcards. Buton and Beaed fairy's are cool. I love taking photos and a camera goes with me whereever I go. I am slowly getting back into writing.

***** I love the Mott's hot spiced CIDER in different apple flavores that have been sent me from the US. I cannot buy it in New Zealand so if you would like to send me one or two - THANK YOU XXX

I love small heart shaped paper doilys and as I cannot buy them in New Zealand I would love it if any one sent me one or two in their choice of colour. I love Wild Sweet Orange herbal tea I think it's made by TAZO.

I love all that is made or written for me as I really value the time and effort that has gone into it♥♥☺♥.

Many thanks, love and light to you all who read this profile♥ Hugs :-)
