Hi! I'm Julie, I live in a little village in Scotland UK with my husband and our tribe of beautiful rescue guinea pigs - we love our boys so very much!

I'm a full time crafter - jewellery is my day job and I trade at lots of events (mainly horror conventions) all over the country.

IMPORTANT: Being in the UK it can sometimes take a few weeks for items to arrive to the USA, Canada and other parts of the world so please don't panic if your swap doesn't arrive the next day. If you haven't recieved your swap after a reasonable amount of time, please just let me know! Always happy to put things right.

PLEASE rate! I always rate when I receive my swaps and I would really love it if you did the same.

I listen to lots of music but my all time favourite artists are Social Distortion, Misfits, Danzig, Johnny Cash, Brian Setzer and Jerry Lee Lewis. Going to shows is one of my absolute favourite things to do.

I adore horror movies. I'll watch pretty much anything in the horror genre. I also love anything by David Lynch who is my all time favourite director. I really love Harry Potter too - proud Slytherin!

• Die hard Twin Peaks fan! It's somewhat of an obsession.

• Pretty Little Liars

• Buffy

• Anything to do with true crime and ghost hunting

• American Horror Story

Although I definitely enjoy the 'darker' side of life - I love thunder storms, old houses and cemeteries, dark coloured flowers and everything 'spooky' I'm also a bit of a girly girl - My favourite colour is bright pink and I'm a doll collector - Monster High and Ever After High. Might need to move house to accommodate my collection!

I also collect anything with guinea pigs - cards, magnets, note paper - I do love those fuzzy little balls of gorgeous - especially my precious rescue boys.

Things I love that make me smile....

• Halloween - my absolute favourite holiday. I love everything and anything spooky and Halloweeny! I especially like things with vintage Halloween images

• Guinea Pigs - my favourite animals

• My planner - I'm obsessed with my A5 Filofax and Kikki K's

• Stickers - pretty much any kind (except reward, Emoji's and tiny ones). If they have anything spooky or Halloweeny on them, even better.

• Harry Potter - both the books and the movies. I'm a Slytherin so I especially like things with my House.

• Cute stationery - letter sets, notecards, washi tape, clips, cute pens and stuff I can use in my planner

• Sweets, Chocolate & Snacks - I LOVE trying sweets, candies, savoury snacks and other goodies from other countries. I don't have any allergies so if you'd like to send something edible I would love that!

• Lisa Frank

• Christmas postcards and notecards with vintage, victorian or nostalgic designs

• Bats, Llamas, Sloths, Wolfs, Cats and Alpacas

• Tropical prints, especially if they have flamingos, pineapples or watermelons

• Mark Ryden

• Crazy coloured and patterned socks - you can never have too many pairs of socks!

• Candles - mainly Yankee but as long as they're cruelty free I'll use them. I really love candy scents, grape, watermelon, apple, patchouli and any Christmas scents too.

• The colours pink, mint, baby blue & turquoise

• Anything glittery and sparkly.

• Anything Kawaii

• Anything with cupcakes

• Thoughtfully packaged mail

Unfortunately I'm having to edit this section as I've received some very questionable things in my short time here on Swap-Bot that have made me cringe

I would appreciate if you take a second to read the following before sending me a swap:

• Cosmetics - I do love makeup but I'm very very picky. I hate brands like Mac, Benefit and any others that test on animals. Cruelty free only.

• Dolphins - they just freak me out! PLEASE don't send me anything with dolphins.

• Anything with Emoji's - I keep receiving things with Emoji's!

• Anything religious

• Anime and Pokemon

• Musicals and Reality TV

• Ripped, torn and dirty items

• Tiny stickers or stickers cut from a sheet

• Freebie items that advertise stores, products etc...

• Deco tape samples

• Scrapbooking

• Project Life

• Pocket Letters - I love swapping pocket letters and I'm always on the look out for new Pocket Letter Pals so please get in touch if you would like to be friends.

• Loaded pocket bags & envelopes

I love buying, sending and receiving postcards. I've recently joined Postcrossing and it's quite addictive! I'm trying to get a card from every state in the USA. I like my postcards naked and written on unless the swap calls for them to be in an envelope then I prefer them blank.
