now I'm standing here, my heart so full I can't explain
I thought I would go ahead and start one, as i really want to know what my SS recipient likes. Me, I don't drink tea or coffee, I love the colour purple. The iris is my favourite flower. I like Dr Who and Star Trek I like to sew (when I get time) I love to paint, watercolours mostly. I have just begun studying at uni for the first time. I do not like soaps, candles etc that smells, perfumes or skin products. I hope that gives someone a clue as to what to get me. This post has been edited by Barefoot: 05/11/2012, 02:20 PM

Hi Secret Santa, Thanks for participating I am very easy to please. I am a SAHM who likes: I am learning cake decorating I love to bake decorated cookies and make chocolates Magazines Vampires (including Twilight, shhhhh it's a secret) Would like to learn to scrapbook my millions of photos. Reading Candles, oils Coffee, tea, hot chocolate REALLY I will love anything you are kind enough to send. Dislikes My only dislike and it is not that I don't like it, but I can not use any perfumed lotions, soaps or body washes etc due to skin allergies. Thanks SS and I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.
