My name is Emma, I am 33 and I live in Bristol which is a city in the south west of the UK.

I live with my husband and our two cats named Costa and Starbuck.

I am currently learning to play the piano. I took my grade 1 exam at the end of 2016 and passed with distinction! :-)

My favourite TV shows are Aussie soaps Neighbours and Home & Away.

I also love to watch Casualty.

Am currently enjoying Orange is the New Black which is a TV series on Netflix.

Colours - Fave colour is pink. Although I love all pastel colours.

Animals - I love seals but it is very closely followed by dolphins and cats.

Patterns - Stars, stripes, polka dots, floral, geometric designs. I am also really into anything watercolour!

Food - I am a massive chocoholic! I love most chocolate but am not keen on raisins in chocolate.

Drinks - I do drink tea and coffee. Not a great fan of hot chocolate though.

Other things I really like:-

• Hello Kitty / Sanrio • Unicorns • Despicable Me / Minions • Musicals • Disney • Bath & Body Works stuff (US brand) • Cath Kidston • Pokemon

Hmmm I'd like to think that I am pretty easy to please however, there are some things that I am not keen on.

• Rude items • Items that show war or violent things • Religious items (although I celebrate all holidays etc and am happy to receive Christmas and Easter items, I am not someone who goes to church or really believes in God - Sorry!) So please no quotes or things like that in relation to religion as I will not use them. :-)

In 2016 I got into planning. I am currently using a Happy Planner.

This year (2017) I have been starting to get more creative with journalling, snail mail & project life.

I would also love to start using brush pens and improve my hand lettering.

I love my stickers - it's probably my favourite thing to use.

Although, I love all stationery items!!

I am happy to receive any kind of stationery, craft items or things that can be used with planners, journals and project life. I am also happy to receive tea.

I am NOT particularly interested in receiving things like - nail files, coasters, keychains, toiletries (except Bath & Body Works) or anything else like this as I am here to swap stationery and craft items :-)

I am really looking forward to swapping with you.

What do I expect to get out of it? Hopefully some fun and a chance to use things that perhaps I cannot get my hands on in the UK. For example if you have an OliClip you no longer want I would love to give it a new home :-) Also, if I make any friends along the way that is also a bonus!

Planner Society Items - ANYTHING! But would love one of their girl clear stamps or sticky notes. Brush Pens Gelly Roll Pens Oli-Clips Recollections Mermaid & Unicorn Washi
