I live in the UK and have been making cards and jewellery for two or three years. In papercrafting, I am just starting a love affair with vintage styles and colours. Please check out my blog at http://cambiel.blogspot.com/ to see the kind of things I make. I also like to make jewellery from time to time, and I adore beads - especially glass ones and pearly ones.
I have no food allergies bar shellfish and celery, but doubt that would apply to any swaps here! lol
Mainly cardmaking and some jewellrey making. I also like cross stitch, but it is a very occasional craft for me - I don't do a great deal of it.
My big ambition is to create a quilt, but I have never done anything so major before, and so far I am contenting myself with collecting "fat quarters" of different fabrics. I love hoarding these :-)
Shabby chic
Vintage, especially Tim Holtz items.
Flowers, swirls and leaves.
Dragons
Butterflies
Watches
Vintage style postcards
Rubber stamps
Die cut decoupage
Rich, lush colours.
I ADORE Matryoshka dolls, so anything featuring them is extra welcome :-)
My favourite crafting ranges are in DCWV, Papermania, Basic Grey and My Mind's Eye.
When it comes to beads, I especially love pearly or glass ones, and also silver looking charms and spacer beads.
Decoupage that is not die cut (I have not the patience for some of the more intricate designs).
Too cutesy bears and the like. Smirk, Gorjuss etc.
Baby or child stuff (I don't often make those cards and prefer to choose my own items if necessary).
True Blood
24
A Town Called Eureka
Lark Rise to Candleford
Silent Witness
Probably loads more I can't think of at the moment! lol
This should probably read favourite books too, as most of these were good reads before I saw the movie.

The Twilight series
The Time Traveller's Wife
Frequency
Sliding Doors
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Memoirs of a Gesiha
Pretty much anything with Jonny Depp
And because I'm still a kid at heart:
Monsters Inc
The Ice Age films
The Toy Story films
