I love to create hand made journals, mini albums and other paper crafts. I use all kinds of median to create my designs. I also scrapbook and make cards and atc's to spread encouragement to those I know and come across in my day to day adventures. I am totally excited about doing some swaps!

After reading several profiles, I realize that I need to chat about myself a bit more. So here goes: I am an empty nester with two fabulous young adult kids. Grandbabies in the future for sure: more to love and scrap! I was busy building my career with lots of travel and crazy work hours for many years, so I didnt do anything crafty. My need to have a creative outlet grew and grew. I decided to pick up paper crafting again and have since branched out to all kinds of different medium. I love to take classes and learn new techniques. I can not draw to save my life though i have been doing a bit of doodling. I love color, but i like grungy too. My favorite colors are oranges and greens and any earth tones...I guess I am not really a pink and blue girl (warm tones are my favs). I am really excited about these swaps and want so much to do them well. I am open to feedback as I want to be one of those swappers that people get excited about. so Share, share, share...looking forward to making some new friends. :)
