About Louise:
I’m a 20 something girl, living in the South East of England with my fiancé, Dean and our two cats, Ruby and Leo. By day I work as a Marketing Assistant for a Recycling Company and by night I am an all round crafter. I dye my hair too much, get excited over anything to do with stationery & have a serious addiction to trashy TV. I love chick lit, tea, high heels, my two lovely little cats and my gorgeous fiancé.
