I'm a traineehippywitchcowgirlbikerchickgoth with a sensible mumsy type person trying to get out. I'm mum to 3 wonderful kids, Ryan, Rebecca and my babsy Jonathan, who are my entire world. I've been with my other half since 1999 and would be lost with out him (just don't tell him that or he'll start thinking I like him!) We own and run our own craft shop where I spend all my time creating wondorous works of art in the form of greetings cards, scrapbook pages and jewellery - I basically live the ultimate 5 year old's dream - colouring in, cutting things out and making things everyday.

I've been openly Pagan for about 2-3 years though I got interested in it all way back when I discovered the Arthurian Legends. I've always had a thing about witches and over the years I read as much as I could and realised this was the path I was meant to follow. As much as I'd love to be part of a coven, I like being a solitary and doing things my way - I feel I tend to learn things better that way than being told what I should and shouldn't be doing.

Spending time with my two sons and my daughter ( and my fiance of course!!!) relaxing with my incense by candle light, moongazing, working with my crystal, my Goddess cards, men with Goatee beards and cowboy boots, making things and having time to myself(and lots of it!!!

discrimination, rudeness and ignorance, not having time to myself

Anything crafty - if it sits still long enough it gets a make over!!! I own a craft shop so it's an occupational hazzard that I'm always making things. You name it I've palyed with it - card-making, scrapbooking, polymer clay, jewellery...the list goes on! I discovered Artist Trading Cards this year and got hooked in a week and I've gotten back into knitting again thanks to my daughter finding all my toy patterns

I'm an avid reader but having 3 small children I don't get to get reading much these days. I love my fantasy fiction - Marion Zimmer Bradley, Charles De Lint, David Eddings, Mary Stewart and Raymond E Feist. I've usually got about 3-4 books on the go - fantasy and factual. I tend to go through phases where I just gt totally absorbed and then something happens and I don't get to rad for ages.At the moment I'm back into "the Chronicles of Pern" series by Anne MacCaffrey - and I've been working my way through "The Womans book of Healing" by Diane Stein for a while now. And I can't live without my "Crystal Bible"

I tend to listen to most music - like they say - if it's got a beat and you can dance to it. I'm a rock chick at heart - definitely old skool 80's rock - Queen, Bryan Adams, Zeppelin, Def Leppard and the like. Oh any anything Goth - The Mission, the Cure, Souxsie & the Banshees, All about Eve, Evanessence etc. But saying all that I do have a quieter, milder side - loads of New Age and Celtic style stuff has found it's way in there too - loads of Enya and Medwyn Goodall - anything which helps me relax and chill.

Where do I start with my movies??? Big Sci-fi fan - Star Wars, Star Trek, Aliens...but I also enjoy a good romantic comedy. Just a few of my favourites would have to be (takes a deep breath): The Crow, The Lost Boys, Practical Magic, The Craft, The Terminator (1&2), all 3 Back to the Future movies, Robin Hood-Prince of Thieves, the Blade Trilogy, anything with Judy Garland in it especially The Wizard of Oz, anything by MGM, Armageddon, Muriels Wedding, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Chronicals of Narnia - The Lion,the Witch and the Wardrobe
