About Me

Hello, My name is Monica.

I'm currently Studying at Enmore Design Centre (Sydney), in Jewellery and Object Design, I have an interest in Contemporary Jewellery and Silver-smithing.

Design has always been a passion and also textile ever since a child. I love to make my creations. My home and the people in it are an inspiration. I grew up and still live in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, Australia. This area is stunning and keep me interested in the world around me. Each day entices me with new creations circling in my mind.

My other loves are old films, bunny rabbits, tea cups, the colour green, crunching through autumn leaves, tea, antique postcards, hot water bottles, rose jam, magnolias, my old pianola piano and stereo cards.

I hope you have a beautiful day :)

Things i don't like...

Snakes, Chili, In the area of tea I don't really like peppermint, camomile, and licorice or aniseed. I'm not so keen on chai either. That's all I can really think of at the moment it's not a very long list ;o)

~*TEA*~

In regards to tea. Australia has heavy Quarantine Laws and tea can not come into the country. So even though I would love to try your fav tea, if your from overseas I won't be able to. :(

Comment: I just got back from holidays to find my parcel of goodies! I love it all: the lovely old magazine, the seeds and the little stamp! I will have to sit down and have a good read of the mag, but I had a quick flick and it looks great! Thanks so much for a great swap!

Comment: i recieved a very nice package from monica which is why i am rating a 5 + heart. i think it is only fair to other swappers that i mention that despite the fact that in the end i recieved a nice package, it was still a rather difficult swapping experience. in this instance i would really prefer to rate a 3 + heart, however that option doesn't exist and i really do feel that the package was worthy of a heart. the package was sent late, which doesn't bother me so much as the fact that monica never initiated any contact with me, i was always having to chase her to find out what was going on. i think monica could be a very good swapper, but she needs to learn to communicate more often and she needs to realise that if you are sending late it is your responsibility to contact your partner with an explanation, it is not the responsibility of the recipient to harass you (which i felt like i was doing by the end) to find out what is going on. i hope you don't find this comment unfair as i don't think i have, in any way, exaggerated or embellished and i think other swappers have a right to know what kind of swapping experience they should expect from you.

Comment: Hi pappasmonster, Thank you for all of the lovely stamps that you sent, my son has only been collecting for a couple of months now so doesn't have that large of a collection so the ones that you sent were perfect. Steven said to say thank you very much and to give you a heart. Cheers Linda
Response: I'm so glad to hear that He enjoyed the stamps. I was a little worried that he would have most of them as we both live Australia. You can tell steven that he's very welcome and I'm willing to do stamp swaps at any time I have plenty:) Thank you for the heart, Best Regards, Monica

Hi Monica, I've noticed that you have read my message regarding the Aus and Nz gals swap but haven't replied. I'd like to know if it has arrived, the other swaps it was sent out with have all made it to their destination. Kerri
