I'm a Scottish lass, mum of two girls 14 & 17. We have a golden retriever called Cooper. (and no I'm not into dog things)
I work in an infant school (age 4-7) in a specialised unit for children with learning difficulties. (and I do not need school stickers :).)
I love the seasons and what the calendar year brings, in January - Burns Night, though in Feb, I'm not big on Valentines.
March/April - the arrival of spring, flowers, blossom and Easter. April is also my birthday month.
Summer - means more time at the beach, picnics, bbq, days out :)
Sept, Oct and November - Autumn, love this season and then Halloween, being a Scot, the true meaning of Halloween.
I love Christmas and all the that it brings, Advent, mince pies, Christmas pudding, cake, cards (vintage, winter wonderland, a card that reflects where you are from, owls, reindeer, traditional) Panto, mulled wine, Family and Friends.

My favourite colours:

I think because I'm such a seasonal person I find my colours change as the season's change.
TEA, TEA and TEA as I really don't drink it, coffee is my thing.
though I love to cook, I have no interest in recipe cards.
please no plastic washi.
I do love a piece of chocolate and would rather a small quality piece over quantity. In regards to sweets (candy) if it's a little extra to pop into the mail that's fine but I will always hope for a piece of chocolate over sweets.
No thank you to gum.
cute stickers of any kind, I really do prefer nature stickers but plants should not have faces on them :D
I have no interest in foot products at all.
