Spelldra

Well, my names Helen (Hell for short) im 25 and I live in England, UK. I'm hoping to go to the USA in a year or two to do some extra studying after I finish college here.

It's been almost a year since I was last on here and did a swap!!! Been so busy with starting college (National Diploma in Fashion & Clothing) I just havnt had time for swaps. Wanna get back into it though, missed it all haha!

I have enjoyed crafting all my life, my favourite being designing and making things with my sewing machine such as bags, clothes, pet accessories etc. I also love to make cards, handmade ones are the best :)

I discovered this site when I was trying to find out what an ATC was! I really love them and want to start collecting/swapping them. I made my first set of 3 a while back now for a swap on here, they were a shiny blue background with hand-drawn kuwaii/anime on the front.

I'd like to have a go at a Dotee Doll :)

I am allergic to face paint!

I am taking down the link for my website as it needs some serious updating! Will be back in a couple months when i've made a few garments and handbags to put on it.

The Simpsons, Eastenders, Americas/Britains Next Top Model, Real Life Documentries, Miami Ink, LA Ink, Animal Cops, Crimewatch, You Are What You Eat, How Clean is Your House, My Name is Earl, Top Gear, Family Guy, That 70's Show and many, many more (oh, and original 80's cartoons like My Little Pony, Moondreamers and Rainbow Brite etc.)

Joke Books, 80's My Little Pony annuals, Any horror book, especially Stephen King or any book in the Point Horror Series. Faces of Bento.

If I were to be part of a swap that involved swapping based on wish list's, here is just some of the things I'd like:

• Original 80's My Little Pony's/accessories/books etc.

• Anime/manga related items (books/posters/DVDs/figures/Stickers etc.)

• The Nightmare Before Christmas stuff.

• Bento items

• Keyrings

• Badges

• Stickers

• Spell/Tarot/ghost story books

• Gothic style stuff/Emo Stuff

• Bracelet Charms

• Rubber Stamps

• Anything Alice in Wonderland.

• Stationary (nice paper/pencils/erasers/gel pens etc.)

• Air Fresheners for your car

• Stuff that smells like vanilla (my favourite smell!) and also Cherry or Watermelon smellies.

• Vintage/Retro Charms

• Mystical/Fantasy related items

• Accessories/Clothes for my Blythe

There are other things but I can't think of them off the top of my head! If you can think of something thats not on my list, then ask me ;)

I don't have many dislikes, but here they are:

• Clowns

• Colours Green/Yellow/Orange

• Antyhing citrus flavoured such as Lemon, orange & lime (love Grapefruit though)

• I'm not a huge fan of neon things

• Face paint

• Disney/Pixar

• Winnie the Pooh

• Religious things (but I like pictures of churches, graveyards, cross's etc)

I love many, many things, far too much to list, so here's a taster.

I LOVE to draw, horse ride, shop, watch horror and comedy films, read and write, Write poetry and short stories (ive had 7 poems published) I love my Blythe doll, she's fab! Love customising her too (will add pics soon enough) I also collect all sorts ranging from Nightmare before Christmas stuff, keyrings, badges, stickers, gel pens, stationary, anime stuff, buttons, crystals, note pads, blank journals/diarys, anything to do with The Nightmare Before Christmas, anything 80's my litlle pony related, Emo stuff, things with skulls on, kawaii stuff and tonnes more!

My most favourtite thing in the world is original My Little Pony, I still collect them and am always on the hunt! Nothing makes me more happy than to find another pony to add to my collection.

I also love most of the old 80's cartoons, Moondreamers, Rainbow Brite, My Little Pony, Moomins, Transformers etc.

I adore cute anime and manga (watching it and reading manga books) as well as drawing manga characters (or making up my own) I can draw one up in about 4-5 mins off the top of my head. I love everything japanese, so Hello Kitty, Sanrio, San-X, Chococat, Cinnamon Roll and all those cute little characters! Just love anything Kawaii really haha, love Bento related stuff too.

I adore anything vintage, old notebooks, postcards, posters/flyers, tins, fabric, jewellery... gotta love that retro stuff :P

As for colours, my 2 favourites are Pink and Purple, closely followed by Red and blue. Even though I dont like yellow, I love black and yellow together, as long as its a bright yellow. I like alot of colours with black actually, bright red, bright pink, kawasaki green, rich purple with black etc.

I also love my Blythe very much, I have had her almost 2 years now (pics on Flickr) I would love to get accessories or little stuffies for her. She would love you forever if you got her a gift ;)

I love playing guitar, I love music festivals like Download and Sonisphere - talk about the best time ever!!!

I love cats (especially kittens) and horses. I suppose I love most animals, I also love reptiles like snakes and lizards.

I love Big/Wild cats

I also really like mystical creatures like Dragons, Unicorns, Pegasus' etc.
