Hiya everyone, Just wanted to let you know that i am running a little behind on some of my swaps. Have been having a few probs at home and have been a little distressed about it all.
So just wanted to let you know that they are coming, just may be a little later than the usual time.
Thanks so much for your understanding.
Hugs Mandymoo =^..^=
BANNERS....
Hiya. I'm
Im a 37 year old married, fun loving and friendly Chicky. My children walk on four paws and are covered in fur.
Im a HUGE Animal l♥ver. I Especially like Cats and have a great affinity for them.
I love to write letters, and swap things with new friends. Im an internet fan, and you will find me on face book everyday for a couple of hours.
I love cooking, but am not always successful in my baking. But i do try! :o)
I write in my journal every day and have some which i read over occasionally and wonder what was i thinking and why..lol
But it is very relaxing and it helps when you need to tell someone, but are unsure of others reactions. Safer in a book. =)
BOOKS
I'm a real book worm. I have gone through many genres, and at the moment i'm into Crime/Mystery/Femle Investigators, and some Fantasy. If you have any good Authors Names, please let me know.
Some of my favourite Authors are, Lillian Jackson Braun (The Cat Who series..), James Patterson, Alison Croggon, Patricia Cornwell, J.D.Robb, to name a few. :o)
TELLY
I don't usually watch a lot of tv. But some shows that i do watch are NCIS, Numbers, Burn Notice, Lie to me, CSI (all of them), two and a half men, Masterchef Australia Man verses Wild, Documentaries about the planets and wildlife.
Hestons Feasts - what an awesome (if somewhat crazy) chef. Love this show.
well, I love drawing and painting. Not that i'm all that good at it. I think of myself as a bit of a try hard...LOL But it can be so relaxing to paint, just to let all thoughts but the picture i'm trying to create, come to life from the end of my brush.
i'm also an avid Journaller. I buy heaps of stickers and things to make the pages bright and fun. Esp when i read them after a few years.
I also like a mixture of all crafts, bit of knitting or cross stitch, scrapbooking, all kinds. I'm totally interested in New kinds also, like to try the ATC and the Dottee dolls. Also if you send me some paper patterns, i'll give them a shot. :o)
Thanks so much for understanding.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Harry Potter (all of them) Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Tomb Raider, The Mummy Returns, Indiana Jones, Underworld, Underworld 2 & 3, Stealth, National Treasure 1, Avatar Movie, Chronicles of Narnia, Batman: The Dark Knight, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, Grease Movie and heaps more (i'll be adding as i remember them) =)

Renate
Hi there. Your Ratings have fallen way below Group standards, for the "Treats and Sweets Swappers Group", so I will have to remove you. Hope your alright. Audra.
Hey Mandy! Your kitty kat postcards haven´t arrived yet.. It has been over 2 months since you have marked it sent. is everything ok? I have seen you haven´t logged in a while. Let me know, ok? Byeee
Thanks so much for the envie of stickers for the October wish list on Aussie Swappers :)
As a fellow postcard lover, I thought I'd invite you to check out * Postcard Confessions: animal familiar ...hope you'll join if you can!
Thanks for your comments Mandy. Much appreciated. :) I am hoping my next Chiro visit on Thursday will help.
Thanks for the great Sept wishes you sent me for the Aussie Swappers group! I love the cat post cards and the cute pieces of ribbon. You really cheered me up when I was having a painful day! Thanks. :)
Hiya mandymoo! I'm here through the "Read My Profile and Leave a Nice Comment" Swap! I've just gotta say, I love that link for "What NOT to send to Australia." Incredibly useful, and inadvertently hilarious.
My favorite forbidden item?
"mooncakes containing meat" \o/
I have to admit, I really am more of a fantasy fan but my best friend of 11 years is a mystery fan and she's the one who got me to read Laurie R. King's mystery series based on a fictional assistant to Sherlock Holmes. The Beekeeper's Apprentice is the first in the series, if you're interested.
Another Burn Notice fan! YAY! Have you been keeping up with the latest season? I'm totally in love with Jesse. ;D
Your furbabies are absolutely adorable, and it's so great to see cats who are loved. My friend rescued kittens in the area for a bit, and it just breaks the heart a bit to see how little some people care. They look gorgeous, and their names are so great. I can't believe you've also got dogs, a turtle, guinea pig, and chickens!
When I was a kid I saw the Rex Harrison version of Doctor Dolittle, and I was so jealous of the Doctor because of his home overflowing with animal friends. It looks like you've got a bit of that going on. :D
Hello :)
Nice to see a swapper from Australia. Where to do you live in Australia? I have parents who in live in Newcastle, NSW and I also lived there for 6 months. It's really a nice country to live in :)
What a lovely profile! I'm here for the 'Leave a nice comment on my profile' swap. Your cats are so pretty. I have two dogs also, but no cats. I see you enjoy journalling - I wish I could be more disciplined and write more in mine! I love doodling and zentangling too, and I'm a little bit obsessed with Facebook :-)
