I’m a wife and mother to 4 wonderful kids – 3 boys and 1 girl. I have an incredibly sweet and supportive husband who encourages me as I balance between family, work, and hobby.
I was introduced to Stampin’ Up! in June 2014 and the rest is history! We had moved to a little town in Ohio at the time and knew no one, so I self-taught through You-Tube videos and found that there was a BIG world beyond Stampin’ Up!
We’ve moved “home” to the Kansas City area since. It has been slow growth for me since I worked full-time for so long, but I’m ok with that. I stopped working as a pharmacist in May 2019 and have dove full force into creating full time. I’ve learned so much about the paper crafting world and feel that I am constantly learning and growing.

[Today, December 16th, 2014, I’ve made my first baby steps to living a new dream – a corner of my happiness. I’ve created this blog and a crafty email address just for myself to store my ideas and share my craft ideas with everyone.]
This is going to be so fun to be able to follow you and learn from you!

I’m so happy you’ve found this hobby! Everyone needs to have something of their own to break from the daily life activities, and I will always support it.
