Affiliations

  • During my free time I enjoy reading and crafting. I enjoy a challenge so any crafting projects I have undertaken have been entirely self taught. An example of this includes, during the pandemic lockdown I taught myself how to make cold process soap from scratch! This goes to say that during my free time, when I'm not socialising with my cat, you'll find me releasing my creativity in one way or another! I am also an avid Disney fan! The movies, the sound tracks, the characters, the theme parks (not to mention the snacks at the theme parks also!) i just love it all!
