I am so thrilled and beyond honored to be part of the Dirty Dozen (omgosh! did I just write that?!) and feel so excited to be joining such an amazing group of talented ladies! I was frozen in shock when Lydia contacted me and I still can't believe that this is real!!

I started scrapbooking in 2006 and cardmaking in 2008 when I started my blog. What started out as a hobby (where all my crafting supplies could fit in a shoebox), has slowly exploded into an addiction that flows out in all directions in our bedroom

My husband and I live in the Midwest with our two children ages 7 and 5. Along with making crafty projects, I also teach Ayurveda part time at the University, give health consultations at the Spa in town and am currently trying to finish my PhD in Physiology.

Crafting is such sweet therapy after a busy day of working and running around with my children. I love bright, sunny, whimsical designs and making projects for my friends and family - it makes me so happy to be able to create keepsakes for my dear ones
