lovetherain

I'm 26 yrs old, and I've been married to my husband for 6 years. I'm also a new mom to my baby girl who was born in Jan of this year. I graduated with my Bachelor's degree last summer, and I'm currently trying to find a job that will allow me to work from home. Though it would be my dream to go back to school and study to get my Master's. Or maybe something that will lead to a more lucrative job. My hobbies/interests are reading, dancing, music, crafts, visual journaling, learning languages, and nature.

I love crocheting and knitting. I do some sewing and embroidery. I visual journal a lot too, my inspirations are Anahata Katkin, Suzi Blu and Teesha Moore. I love mixed media and altered art.

Please, if you live in a country other than the US, I would love it if you could put a stamp from your country on your envelopes (even if it's equivalent to 1 cent). I collect foreign used postage stamps, and love seeing the art on other countries' stamps
