I've always loved to create. Anything. My mother was wonderful at coming up with arts and crafts projects to keep my brother and I busy as kids. She always encouraged us to be creative and come up with our own way of doing things. Now that I'm grown (ha.) the tradition lives on. There's just something satisfying about getting an idea or a picture in my head and working with my own two hands to make it happen. Paper crafting is one of my favorite ways of expressing myself, but I'm working to fill my house with all sorts of other homemade artwork (both practical and...not so much). It's such a blessing to have an outlet like Etsy to share my work with people across the country - and hopefully around the world! I love "meeting" so many unique people and connecting with others who get the same enjoyment from this as I do.
