My name is Joanna Bates and I'm gone 26 years old in April. I live in rural Ireland; Beautiful if nothing else lol ;)

I was born with Spinabifida and have spent my whole life fighting for my health in ways that most people wouldn't understand.. Although it comes with a lot of (what some would call) physical Limiation and challenges; I like to think that every one of those are also my strengths and my opportunities... or the reasoning behind them! ;) ..Who knows!

These are my main reasons I strive above all else, each and every single day to have only one intention; to do what I love and love what I do ;)

I Love to take photo's of the world around me; and make ones of the world witin me ;)

I 'doodle' pictures and just love to draw; even if I rarely refer to it as that myself ;)

I love to write, and often create a fantacy unlike my reality; or at least have the choice to!

I love knitting and crochet; and do it in ways like no other; and create the very same! ;)

Most of all though, I LOVE anything to do with art and crafts; it's one of the only things that I feel exists that I can whole heartedly consider as nothing but limitless! And that's really okay! :)

I believe that in life, there are no guidelines on how things should be done; no 'right' or 'wrong' way, only 'Different! ;) ..Just whatever it is; it is! :)

Imperfect in it's very own Imperfections <3

As strange as this might sound to some, no matter what I do; I just love the idea of creating something that didn't exist before now... whatever that might be! ;) It doesn't matter!

I believe that all of the good stuff in my life exist because i have the bad stuff to compare it to in order to define it as just that; bad stuff! lol ;)

"I am what I am and it's all that I am-Popeye" x

I have a facebook account and blog on wordpress for anyone that might want to get in contact with me and/or read more of my story..

I also have email so anyone feel free to use it if you wish! :)

Much love! Over and out! <3 x
