I am many things; wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, sewer (WHOA! Wait a minute, let me clarify that one! According to Merriam-Webster: definition of SEWER: one that sews. Ahhh, much better!), quilter, paper crafter, scrapbooker, card maker, a 1 month & 3 day blogger, Stampin� Up! demonstrator, but most importantly, I am the daughter of the One True King.

I joined Stampin� Up! in the fall of 2004 after attending a friend�s Stampin� Up! workshop / party. I was *hooked* and needed to feed my new addiction (at a discount of course) so I signed up as a collector demonstrator a few days later. I �collected� a lot and stamped a little for many years while I was trying to find my "style�. I blurfed (you know, blog surfed) and stalked followed a number of paper crafters and in the end, I pretty much settled on the Stampin� Up! style of the one and only, Beate Johns. After falling in love with Beate�s work, she gradually moved away from Stampin� Up! to pursue other opportunities which left me lacking inspiration. Stuck in a lull, I finally stumbled across Jeanie Witmer, Becky Roberts, and the Pals Paper Arts and MOJO Monday blogs which I think have ultimately defined my style. I *wish* I was a creative person, but since I�m really not I will simply say, I love what I do and enjoy sharing what I love. In the end, that�s what�s important � right?!?

I hope that you will visit often and find inspiration through my creations and / or commentaries, whichever you prefer. In the meantime, I will stop chatting and get to crafting �
