allthatglitters

Hello I am a very keen crafter and love anything arty and creative, I have been penpalling by snail mail for the past 8 years and love to meet new friends of all ages from all over the world.

I love anything cute, cuddly, shiney, pink, purple, black and white check, stationery or crafty - anything creative and all that jazz really.

I love to write and recieve long chatty letters, swap fbs when I have them and swap other bits and bobs if my penpal likes to swap. I like cute paper and stickers and like to use deco tape to decorate my mail.

I am 28 years old, married with a son, reliable, honest and genuine. Im a bubbly and chatty person who is reliable and likes to send people nice things and put thought into what I send - i would never send someone any old toot I found lying around my bedroom :)

I like most things, im happy to swap with all types of people but I ask that I am not sent anythings really demonic or hardcore sexual/pornographic type items or items featuring a lot of foul language and sick jokes. Im not a prude and im up for a laugh and have a sense of humour like most people - witchcraft items, inuendo type jokes, mystical objects etc are fine but not to the extreem please - also not extreem religious parafonalia etc either ta very much :)

I have a little boy who loves Disney, Mickey Mouse, Art Attack and Mr Maker, Handy Many, colouring, numbers etc so feel free to include anything that might appeal to a little boy if its relevant to the swap and of course only if you wish :)

I am looking forward to some good swaps with likeminded honest and genuine people xxx

I love all sorts of music depending on my mood, i am very keen on 80s, Rock and Power Ballads and also Musicals, Classical and some Modern Charts.
