About Me

I'm in the process of moving house, so I'll be taking a short break until the move is complete. Too busy and don't want mail going astray to old house!!

I'm a confirmed hoarder, i have piles of craft materials that i always intend to use when i buy them and then don't have the time to use them!

Mom of an 12 year old boy, currently laid up with a bad back so trying to do some of the more time consuming/ intense crafts is hard - note to self, must try and do some more crafty stuff, even if it is only a little bit at a time!!

I'm 43 and English, but have spent the last 15 years living in Dublin, Ireland.

Like reading, confirmed computer geek and gamer, love craft bits and pieces, collect postcards, dabble with cross stitch and wire work and jewellry. Love zentangles so having fun with those.

I'm a cat person through and through, although I'm now catless as my poor hubby had 18 years of putting up with taking anti histamines (as he was allergic to my cats), so I won't be replacing my dear old cat that we lost this summer.

Favourite historical period: Tudors

Comment: I've been loving your postcard for so long that it with shame and utter horror that I realise I haven't even rated it yet! Apart from the bridge that's SO pleasing to the senses (over the River Liffey), I have to tell you - I love what you wrote (about not touching a word on my profile - though it's only due to laziness that I don't!), and I adooorrre your handwriting. Can't explain precisely why - I just know what I like when I see it. :D

Comment: Thank you for the lovely PC. I can't remember if I ever visited Hunstanton? It doesn't look familiar. I hate it when I realize I missed a great place to visit while I was in England!!!!

Thanks for the post card

SapphireFlame on Jan 28, 2011:

Have just started swapping on here, loved your card. I find it a bit strange to swap with one person, and someone else swaps with you back. I hope to be able to send you a swap as well

My husband is really interested in Ireland. He is bothering me to get some candy from there. Would you be interested in a swap?

artmum on May 15, 2007:

Thanks for the post card, I used to love hanging out my washing to dry and the fabulous smell of fresh air on it when dry. None of that here in Houston, we're not allowed to hang it! Did you know, socks are solitary creatures by nature! Barbara B
