As of this writing, I am 34 years old, married with 1 daughter. I work part time at Trader Joe's. I have been crafting my whole life; Rubberstamping, cardmaking and papercrafting for over 10 years. I dabble in carving my own stamps. I also knit and sew. I've been eyeing the "Cute Stuff" books by Aranzi Aronzo and diving into "felties" but just haven't taken the plunge into yet another branch of hobby.

Oh yaeh, the P key on my keyboard is acting up. So sometimes I don't catch if it didn't type if I'm going really fast. Sorry.
