Paper crafting I am an avid paper crafter, began scrapbooking 13 years ago, diversified into cardmaking, progressed into bookbinding and now often undertake off the page projects.

Crafting things I use a lot, obviously more than my trimmer, dimensional magic, tape and scissors. I love ribbon, flowers, 3D, ribbon, lace as well as dies and beautiful papers

Other hobbies include walking on the beach, gym sometimes, gardening and cooking sometimes.

My favourite colours are blues and purples, but I love all colours, shades and textures

My family I am married, we have three adult children and one grandchild, soon to be two grandchildren (June 2014). We have worked in the public service for most of our working careers, and are now both semi retired

I have no pets, but have an grandpuppy English Staffordshire that we sit now and then

Music Music that interests me is rock n roll (we took up rock and roll dancing classes although we are beginners still) other music I like to listen to is the Beatles, Elvis, John Lennon, Eagles.

Television Shows of interest include music, dramas, and crime.

Sporting interests, The whole family are are avid footballers (soccer) the family have all either played, coached or refereed. We have four different teams we follow in the A-league (Australian) and in the English Premier League, so as you can imagine it gets a bit heated at times

I am a member of both a scrapbooking group that meets fortnightly, and a cardmaking group that meets monthly. I also participate in a secret sister (cardmaking) once per month and a calendar challenger yearly. Inspiration always comes from other crafters using different techniques and mediums.

I love... I love teddy bears, as well as vintage ephemera, cute, seaside, grunge, some steampunk and floral. I am a coffee and chocolate addict. Other areas of interests are 1950's and floral.

I am not interested in.... I am not overly interested in fantasy and science fiction.
