I am a craft loving wife, mother & grandmother living in Michigan. I have 2 daughters and 2 grand children whom I adore! I have been married for 12 years to my wonderful husband. I love papercrafts; card making, scrapbooking, ATCs, postcards, mixed media and art journaling. My girls aren't into crafting unfortunately, but my grand kids are!

I love classic rock, pop, some country & Christian music. I have to have music playing when I am crafting & I always sing along & bop around in my chair! Music has always been a BIG part of my life.

My favorite shows right now are Once Upon a Time, New Girl, Law & Order SVU, The Blacklist, Hart of Dixie, Downton Abbey, Parenthood. I've been catching up with a lot of shows on Netflix & now I'm spoiled; I hate watching just on show a week on TV now, I would rather watch a whole season in just a few days!!

I like daily devotionals & love Joyce Meyer books! I love crafting books/magazines: cardmaking, mixed media, art journaling, papercrafts. I also love decorating books & DIY. I'm into Shabby Chic & cottage style decorating. I still love books & magazines even though you can find everything on the internet!!

I just recently got into art journaling & I like it but don't think I'm very good at it! I love making ATCs & mixed media too. I love creating on canvas for wall hangings. I also make a lot of cards. I have never done a Smash book but would love to try it! I have done scrapbooking in the past but am WAY behind right now! Hopefully, I will get back into it some day! I just love to create! Anything really, as long as I'm being messy!!

I love trying new DIYs that I find on Pinterest. Like painting furniture, frames, & decopauge. By the way, I'm ADDICTED to Pinterest!!!!!!! I also love trying new recipes that I find on Pinterest. So far my family has liked everything I have made so that's always good.

I spend soooo much time "pinning", it's kind of un-natural. I have over 36,000 pins!!!! I know, SICK!

I only drink tea-iced & hot. I only like plain old fashioned black tea; no flavors or colors, preferably with caffeine. I was a Diet Coke fiend for over 30 years but haven't had any pop for over 3 years now.

I love pasta, most veggies, salads, chicken & salmon. Don't really like red meat.

If I get hooked on a certain food, I will eat it every day for months & then when I'm tired of it I won't eat it again for a very long time. Weird??

I LOVE anything shabby chic, tattered, worn, old, distressed, faded, vintage. i like muted colors like, creams, greens, blues & pinks. I love old, vintage sepia & black & white photos. I LOVE handmade flowers!!!!!

I like to go to Goodwill, Salvation Army, thrift stores & garage sales. I enjoy re-using & re-purposing.
