Hi my name is Cheryl and I am a SAHM since being made redundant in December 2010. I have 3 wonderful children, Emily-Rose 3, Siobhan 14, Jared 17.

i love papercrafts, cardmaking and altering things. I am currently addicted to making my own flowers and rosettes thanks mainly to tim Holtz! I use paper or felt/material to make these. I love anything vintage or vintage inspired. I prefer darker colours to brights except for creams and pinks. Not really into animal prints or pictures except for birds/birdnests. I absolutely love the work of Tim Holtz and aspire to one day be that good!

I collect scrapbooking products such as paper of any shape or size prefer Graphic 45, Websters, 7 gipsys, Tim Holtz that sort of genre rather than bright cutesy, embellishments such as pearl, diamantes, jewels, ribbons or lace. Love faux flowers be they card or fabric and glitter. A girl can never have too much glitter lol!

My favourite holidays are Christmas and Halloween and i decorate my house to the occasion. Again vintage/vintage inspired is the flavour i like to have for these occasions.

I love fairies and angels and butterflies. I believe in fairies at the bottom of the garden and magic does exist as long as you believe it does.

I love an English country garden with the perfume of roses, lavender and sweetpeas. Ladybirds and butterflies complete the picture to me of a perfect restful haven. These smells transcend into my home which i love to fill with these frangrances both for the home and personal products.

I love old-fashioned lollies the sort that send you back to your childhood and bring back lovely memories of summers past. Wine gums and pastilles, strawberries and cream, sherbet lemons and palmer violets all have a place in my heart.

I really dont like bright colours or cutesy but apart from that i am pretty easy to please. I promise to send swaps that i myself would be happy to receive.
