About

I've been a fan of crafting since I was little, and blogging since I was in high school (in retrospect, I didn't have anything meaningful to blog about in high school or college), but it wasn't until shortly before I finished college that I had the means and the time to really get into crafting, and shortly after college that I started blogging in earnest.

It was making wedding invitations that second semester of senior year in college that started me on papercrafting as a more serious hobby, and what began as more of a personal blog is now both a personal and craft blog (maybe more craft than personal these days).



I work full-time in the financial services industry, but when I sit down to craft, Evelyn has been my favorite scrapbooking subject for the past several years. Now, with the arrival of her brother, Parker, the two of them are likely to share the spotlight as the subjects of all (maybe not all, but at least many!) future scrapbook layouts.

I'm also fortunate to have a husband, Greg, who supports my craft hobbies, especially by letting me have almost half the basement for crafting and sewing!

In addition to scrapbooking, I also make cards, mini albums, other paper crafts, and other crafts in general, which I also share here:

I also dabble in sewing, including making quilts and totes (and one day, maybe clothes).
