So I adore cats is the first thing I have to tell you!

But other than that I love to read, garden and grow veggies, I also enjoy baking, mostly cakes as I'm awful with biscuits and I enjoy crafting and love finding new ways of creating something new.

I studied environmental conservation at university and i feel strongly about protecting what we have now.

I had a kidney transplant on the 16th June 2016 and then married my best friend 9th March 2018. We just recently also moved and I now have a dedicated craft room which I am IN LOVE with.

Currently on my shelf to read I have:

Land by Alex Campbell 1st to Die by James Patterson Touch by Claire North

and ohhh so many more.

I basically read anything young adulty, so romance, the sci-fi stuff and a few crime books my nan throws my way.

So i really don't do favourites when it comes to movies. I always feel on the spot when asked this question! I watch most things that are popular at the time or that's on at the cinema but I don't do scary, at all!!

Again with TV i watch whats on at the time, but dont purposely go back to something I've seen before.

Right now I do love a good bit of survival tv. You know the type, throw a few people onto an island, give them an axe and watch how they survive. Usually not well!

I dabble. I go from one thing to another.

smash book and scrapbooking are my go to but I'm just learning so will get there!!

I have a new found obsession with water colour paintings. Especially of animals so I've got myself a set of brushes and will be giving it ago! (so i wrote this in 2016ish and I never got very far with this! Maybe I will one day go back to it)

I absolutely love pastel shades and rose gold at the minute, but appreciate being shown new things.

I joined Stampin Up which is a craft company where people sell craft stuff through a catalogue. I don't sell it but I do buy far too much of it so use this in most of my swaps. I love making cards and little boxes out of their stamps and papers.

I love the softer rock genres such as Against the Current, Blink 182, The All American Rejects and Fall Out Boy.

I also love Mumford and Sons!

I love horse riding, it's not something I can indulge in often due to costs and I wish I could go daily!

I recently took up Archery which wasn't something I ever thought I would do. But the club we shoot at is lovely and I've really gotten into it.

any paper craft bits are appreciated, stamps, dies, glitter etc etc

Anything cat related, dog related or animals in general!

Bee related anything, absolutely love bees

My fav colour is green

any pretty writing sets, desperate for these as I have a few penpals and I'm running low on options where I live don't seem to sell anything like this.

Any sewing kits, the little cross stitch kind with the coloured threads and patter included.

Book marks are always welcome

I'm very tolerant however please don't send anything offensive e.g rude images/jokes or pictures of disgusting/disturbing images I doubt that this will happen on swapbot but you never know!

Also any tea/food swaps please send either in original bag with ingredients listed or list the ingredients yourself, due my kidney transplant I'm more cautious with what I eat and certain herbs and what not are a no
