I'm very sad I got a 3 for two of my swaps. I always put a lot of effort and thought into each swap I do. i really can't comprehend how they could have been rated at 3!
Hippy, crafty, geeky mum
I live in South East Queensland, Australia, but grew up out bush (in the Northern Territory). If you've seen the movie Crocodile Dundee you've seen the landscapes I grew up in.
I grew up a bit wild and barefoot with a love for wild areas. I can't get enough of swimming and delight in being underwater. I love huge clashing thunderstorms and watching the sun set slowly over the garden while the birds and fruit bats fly past and I potter in my vege patch.
I live with my husband, two former RSPCA cats and a varying number of chickens. We currently have four beautiful black chickens that are known as australorps, but I think of them as austra-goths.
I used to say comedy fantasy/sci-fi, but lately my taste has become a bit more academic...it's so hard to find good fiction! Whats good? Well...

I'm so sorry to hear of your health concerns. I hope you are feeling better. I'm bummed we won't be doing the goblin ATC swap. Will you be re-hosting this again when you return, or would you like me to take over hosting of this?

Hi, the "1" rating you received on Dec 15th is a hoax by a disgruntled swap-botter. You can remove this rating from your profile since the user has been fully suspended. You do not need to resend your postcard to this person. Hundreds of people received this hoax on the 15th on their profiles.
ps. congrats on your baby and hope you get some sleep!!
