I began doing paper crafting about 25 years ago after attending a Stampin' Up party. I started with stamped greeting cards but have since become interested in collage, assemblage, journaling, soldering, book making, junk journaling. etc. I participate in several swap groups and enjoy making ATC cards and coins, journals, collage, rolos, and all kinds of mixed media.
I have been married 57 years, have 3 children, and two wonderful grandsons - 13 and 16. I am retired so get to spend lots of time in my studio, which is my favorite way to spend free time.
My husband and I love to travel and do so as often as we can. We have a home in southern California but I am originally from the mid west.
I love antiques and love using vintage and antique embellishments on my artwork. I have a thing for butterflies and owls. We have 4 little rescue dogs named Little Brown, Pip, Kiké, and Poco who keep us and on our toes.
We love going to the movies and see most of the new movies in the theatre as they come out.
I love 80's music. I wish I could dance. I love William Morris and the Arts and Crafts Movement of the late 1800's as well as the PreRaphaelite artists.
FaceBook, Instagram, and Pinterest are some of my favorite sites to browse the internet.
I think my kids are some of the most interesting people I know. They love art and music and fashion and can talk about national and world affairs intelligently. They all read and listen to lots of different kinds of music.
I like red wine, dark chocolate, grilled cheese sandwiches, watermelon, raspberries, crispy bacon, and York Peppermint Patties.
