God Lover. Arts and Crafts Meddler. Inspired Explorer. Daydreamer. Hoarder and Collector. Story Teller. Photo Capturer. Book Reader. Belle Cuddler. Word Fiddler. Poker Player. Movie Goer. Music Listener. Booyah Lover.

These are the words that best describe me that's for sure... however, I am a person with many different passions such as arts and crafts, reading, writing, weddings {everything about it except the $$$ needed to execute it} travelling and taking photographs. I do also enjoy listening to music and watching TV series and movies. I read all kinds of books though I am not too fond of historic novels and biographies.

I am a collector of all things craft. I have heaps of patterned paper and stickers. I remember being as young as 4 and already having a sticker collection and I still have some stickers from when I was super young. Stickers and patterned paper rock!

Over the past 3 years I have been steadily building my clear stamp collection and every time I look at it, I smile… actually I smiled whenever I see all my craft supplies which is quickly followed by a shudder when I realise how much $$ I have spent.. LOLs.

I made a hand stitched and cloth notebook early this year and am looking forward to making more. I also would love to make a tote bag and a complete a few cross stitch projects.

Since I was a kid, I have collected letter sets as well and I love note cards and stationery. I have some gems in my drawers from way back when I was a kid and used to write to my crushes and besties.

I recently started PostCrossing and have been looking around for postcards. I enjoy receiving all kinds of postcards – am not fussy about this.

I have not had the time to really start on my scrapbooking or Project Life as work keeps me super busy. I do try to make time to make bookmarks and cards... I also just started a little online store selling stickers and washi tape and other happy things :) So it gets tough to juggle all the things I like to do. Like they always say “So many ideas. So little time!”

I think Marta Stewart and Becky Higgins rock! I enjoy following the works of Elizabeth Kartchner (Dear Lizzy), Amy Tan, Marta Writes and most of all Elise Blaha. These ladies inspire me.

Once upon a time I was afraid of dogs but the past 4 years have seen a shift towards me being a dog person. This is partly due to my husbands miniature schnauzer, Moshi who thought me how to care for dogs and love them. Sadly, Moshi passed away about 9 months ago.

Because of Moshi, we welcomed a tri-coloured beagle called Belle into our home. She is loves to eat and is a mischief but, oh such a joy. Anything beagle related is most welcome.

My perfect day would be writing, reading, or crafting with music playing in the background {depending on the day it could be Coldplay, Tchaikovsky, Avicci, Dido, Pink Martini or some top 40 stuff}.

This will be followed by a date night or hangout session with friends or family. We will have dinner, watch a movie, play bowling and then have ice cream or drinks followed by a monopoly or poker session. Awesomely perfect day indeed.

I love love love Famous Amos chocolate chip and macadamia cookies and dark chocolate with nuts. My fav. Baskin Robbins flavours are Love Potion #31, Jamoca Almond Fudge, Pistachio Almond and Peppermint Chip. I love chicken, burgers and seafood. I love a good cup of tea {all kinds of tea are find by me}, ice mocha and a good cocktail every now and then.

I am online all the time so I look forward to reading about swaps and etc. Do let me know if you are running late on your swaps. I understand that sometimes things crop up at the last minute but just let me know so I can watch out for it still and not write it off as someone who didn't send a swap :)

Oh yes. I am a newbie to this swapping thing but I really do so enjoy getting mail in my mailbox, hence why I decided to join swapbot. Nothing beats having a handwritten letter or little gift in the mail after a long day at work. Smiles can be packed into envelopes I have come to realize. Happy swapping and God bless!

P.S: Please do let me know if you have not received your swaps. I will send you another swap, so you don't need to rate me a 1 or 3.

Also, I would love to control the postal system but sometimes mails from Malaysia take longer to receive.Thanks for understanding.
