WentworthX

My name is Tracy and I live in a small fishing town in the North East of Scotland with my husband, 2 daughters (22 and 19) and 2 cats called Merlin and Sonny. We moved to a larger house with a bigger garden a few years ago and since then I have been growing my own veg. in the summer months. I work at one of the local Primary schools as a Teaching Assistant and I have been employed there for nearly 15 years. I am also a Boys Brigade officer in the Anchor Boy Section (5 - 8 yr olds) and have been doing this for almost 30 years.

Since I was a teenager in the 80's I guess I still love all 80's stuff (sad eh??). I was brought up with country music as a kid (even sadder??!!) so I still have a soft spot for older country artists. Mostly I listen to rock and soft metal, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, The Scorpions, I also love Brian Adams, Robbie Williams Swing Album and just now my favourite album is by Nightwish, although my daughters have influenced me and I enjoy listening to Taylor Swift.

I don't read as much as I used to I just don't seem to have the time AND if I read in bed it makes me fall asleep lol. I love the Twilight series and I am reading the Morganville Vampires series at the minute.

(I love loads of films Twilight, Harry Potter, Bridget Jones, American Pie, The Lord of the Rings trilogy (Mmmm Aragorn), Meet the Parents/Fockers, Something about Mary, Goodfellas, Titanic, the Alien series, Pirates of the Caribbean (Mmmm Johnny Depp AND Orlando Bloom), Dirty Dancing, Top Gun, The Breakfast Club, St Elmos Fire, The Lost Boys, Grease, Hairspray - the list goes on and on.

I havent been watching a lot of TV lately. I like nature programmes and gardening shows. I am obsessed with the show Criminal Minds ......I'm sure I could spot an "un sub" no problem.

Iona is our eldest she graduated from University last year with a Masters degree in English Literature with Creative Writing. She is now studying to be a Secondary School English teacher. She self published 2 books Fighting Fate and Eden which can be found on Amazon and was recently "officially" published in a book of short stories .... Electric Reads, The Young Writers Anthology

Isla is our arty child. She lives in Edinburgh and is studying Musical Theatre at a performing arts Academy there. Before she left school she played Sandy in Grease and was Lady MacBeth in school productions of both.

I love crafting - Scrapbooking, ATC's and Mini books. I enjoying drawing and watercolour painting although I have to be in the "mood" or it just ends up all wrong. Me and the girls love going to the theatre and try to go at least a couple of times a year (if it weren't so expensive we would go more). Mal (my hubby) often treats me to a weekend away in an expensive, fine dining hotel on our anniversary. In the summer months my garden is my first love and I am out there pottering. This year I built a pond with a little help from Mal and Iona and a rockery. Me and the girls started painting a fairy mural too much to Mals disgust.

My hubby is 53 this year but like every man still thinks he is a teenager! LOL. He loves all things motorbike. He was in the RAF and is a bit of an aeroplane buff as long as it has a bit of age to it (no airliners or helicopters - he spends too much time on those with his current job). He does karate and likes Andy McNab books or about planes or war. He enjoys hiking and like most men likes gadgets.

I love fantasy such as dragons, fairies, unicorns, witches and wizards and anything gothic. I LOVE MY TATTOOS ( I have 9 of them varying in size and I would love to get a few more). Anything animal as long as it is not cartoony my favourites include cats, tigers and gorillas. I love mean and moody men LOL, my favourites being Wentworth Miller, Edward Cullen (Twilight), Johnny Depp and Sawyer from Lost. I am happy with any kind of papers I could use for either scrapbooking or ATC's. I love ribbons and buttons and any unusual embellishments - I am a real magpie and collect stuff that I MIGHT use! Other likes - stamps, hearts, flowers, brads, inks, letter stickers or rub-ons.
