Hey All, My name is Amanda and I live in the Fraser Valley on the West Coast of beautiful British Columbia, Canada with the man of my dreams, and my cat, Chili.

I'm a Preschool Teacher and ex-Florist, which means I love all things whimsical and floral. Also, vintage, retro and a tad bit kitchy.

I collect and trade ATC's and love any kind of paper ephemera. I enjoy tea swaps too (anything but Chai-it makes my tongue itchy). I also love to make and collect handmade bookmarks- it's a crafting fetish of sorts.

I work mostly with paper and do mostly collage type projects. Modge Podge is my friend. I love crotchet pieces, but have not learned it myself, so any little bits are always welcome and loved.
