My name is Amy, I come from New Zealand and I am 36. I love to read and write. I am a mother of two Children and one cat.

I also love to craft, bake, game, drink tea and make art.

Lots of people seem to be pretty interested in this little Island nation of mine, so if you have any requests for New Zealand related stuff you can go ahead and pm me for a swap :D
