I am a lover of all things crafty. I love to experiment with paper, fancy and pretty embellishments, stickers, and sometimes fabric. I make my own embellishments, stickers, and even envelopes! I enjoy learning new techniques to improve my crafting skills.

I love buying paper crafting supplies. It's my favorite type of craft to do. I have my own etsy shop where I sell decoupaged notebooks and handmade scrapbook and journaling supplies.

I love to journal, with a little bit of art journaling on the side. My number one go to art journal inspiration is paper relics, better known as besottment by Hope Wallace. I love her stuff and her classes are relatively cheap and amazing.

I am addicted to receiving mail, which is probably why I sop online too much. I decided to try here instead, to explore my creativity and make new friends all at the same time!

Happy crafting!

My favorite crafts are those made of paper. I adore buying, collecting, and sometimes hoarding pretty paper. I enjoy learning new ways to incorporate it in my designs. I like to decoupage, collage, and make greeting cards. I make my own stickers, envelopes, and embellishments out of pretty paper.

There is just so much you can do with it. You can still add dimensionals to it. I like to add layers to my paper. I build my embellishments; I start with a punch, then I layer on a sticker, or maybe a button or both, depending on the sticker.

Then there's making 3D objects to add to scrapbook layouts, or in my case notebooks. Rosettes, pinwheels, and more. I can go on and on.

I am an indie girl through and through. Although I was raised on 70's Punk (which I still love. Joy Division and The Cure forever!) I love all sorts of Indie music. From Purity Ring to more mainstream Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I love Warpaint, Coleman Hell, Damien Rice, and Daughter to name a few.

I love music. Next to crafting, then books, music is my everything. I listen to music more than I craft or read. I am constantly on the look out for new bands and songs.

These are a few of my favorite things...

Tea...loose preferably. BLACK!!! Irish, fruity, or floral. My favorite is Rose Marzipan. Or Irish Breakfast for bags.

Notebooks and journals of all kinds. Pretty, pretty ones.

Headbands.

Broaches.

All things Alice in Wonderland, Tim Burton, and Jane Austen.

Inspirational quotes.

Polka dots and hearts.
