Hi I am Tracey, I am from Belfast in Northern Ireland. I live with my partner James and 3 daughters. We also have a dog and a cat. I found this site through a lady who sent me a postcard via www.postcrossing.com (try it for all you postcard fans). I love the idea of getting and sending little bits and pieces through the mail. I love needle crafts, cross stitch and felting, and crochet. I like to make things with paper too. I am a stationery addict, I love it, pens, paper, envelopes, labels stickers, ink, oh it's bliss!

I am new to needlefelting but I really have fun with it. I am not really one for patterns and kits I prefer to do my own thing. I often use books and pinterest etc for inspiration but like to follow my own designs. I like to upcycle paper for craft and wrapping etc.

I like very simple gardening in pots etc although with limited success. I like to write stories and short rhyming stories for children.

I like to read, I like a good story with believable characters. I don't have a particular genre although recently I have been reading more historical novels. I like a good thriller too. Most recently I read "The Thoughts and Happenings of Wilfred Price, Purveyor of Fine Funerals" by Wendy Jones. It is set in Wales in 1924 and is just beautifully written and will tug at your heart strings. .

I LOVE chocolate, but I am a little fussy. I like dark and milk chocolate but not white. I like chocolate with orange, mint, chilli, salt, toffee, fruit and nuts. I prefer a little good quality chocolate rather than a lot of cheap chocolate. I don't like candy/chocolate flavour, just real chocolate!! I like sweets but prefer chocolate to sweets or candy.

I do not like fruit tea, white chocolate or cheap /poor quality candy or chocolates. I don't like lots of kid things like Hello Kitty and Disney or Japanese anime. I don't like spongebob or similar. I do like colourful stickers, notebooks, paper, ink, pens , pencils. I do like beauty products, tea, coffee, chocolate, sweets and any stationey. I do like homemade items (good quality). I will send all swaps and try to send at least one thing I know you will like. hearts will be awarded to those who try to send things I like.

if you want to send anything for my daughters they are 17- so chocolate, green tea or make up samples, pens and pencils. 4 and 3- Disney, princess, my little pony, stickers candy, pencils, hair clips etc
