About Karen...

-Born Dundee Scotland, lived in England, Solomon Islands (Bougainville) & Australia. I attended 11 schools (one twice) in four countries as a student. I teach Maths/Science to teenagers. I do patchwork & quilting, cross stitch, knitting, crocheting, love to read & am basically a homebody. Though I do love to travel but as usual I'm financially challenged so won't be going anywhere except locally (like, down the street) for a while.
-I have 2 dogs Tam ~17 year old Corgi x Jack Russell (?) whom I saved on day 21 from the Pound & Maggie 9 year old West Highland White Terrier ex-kennel dog who loves being an indoor dog & enjoys her home comforts as does Tam.
-I adopted Maggie because of Tam being so old (and having a cough that is related to his heart not his lungs) & as it didn't look like he would last much longer. Well that was in December 2009 & he is still here with me & I love him to bits (even if his cough drowns out the TV sometimes), & Maggie is also loved heaps but lives with Mum & Dad as their dog, Isla (4 yo) (a puppy of Maggie's from an early litter), would pine for her.
-Am single (by choice) & have no children except those I teach, four nieces & a great niece. Love fun things & have a quirky sense of humour. I did collect stamps (still have some for old times sake & I still love stamps so I do look at them too) but gave that away for patchwork, can't possibly afford both along with cross stitch hence I'm always broke.
-I love all animals especially elephants, pandas (giant and lesser), dolphins, polar bears, puffins, hedgehogs, koalas (no they are not koala bears they are marsupials & their young are called joeys), platypus (their young are called Poggles, cute hey!!)...the list goes on!! Basically, all animals!
-I am possibly the only female that was happy about having turned 50 in 2011 as I have Multiple Sclerosis (MS) hence my sometimes illegible writing so postcards are good (not much space to write LOL) though it can still be difficult to read usually too small, severe clincal depression & had ovarian cancer twice so I'm just glad to be here. LOL
-Actually I'm happy to receive any postcard (not so hot on those that are rude or demeaning to others)except Ad cards. I love a good joke!! I stress 'good' here LOL.
-News for 2012 - I'I'm moving continents and heading back to Britain mid-August. Of course, closer to that date I'll be going inactive and once settled I'll be back!!
Happy Postcrossing Everyone ♥

-PS I try to register a postcard the day that I receive it & as soon as one of mine arrives I ask for the next address to send to & mail it ASAP.
