I'm a 30-something year old Polish mum to a 7 year old boy and a 1 year old girl, living in Melbourne Australia.

I have grown up surrounded by craft and art and started my first scrapbook when I was in primary school (elementary). I still have that scrapbook. It's not exactly what you would call fancy, but it was all of my worldly possessions at the time and I love looking through it.

I love to craft and I love getting random surprises in the mail from strangers. It always makes me wonder about the person and place it came from. And then I get itchy feet and want to travel again!

I'm kind of an all-round creative person and like to give things a try at least once. However, I do have my favourites and sewing is definitely up there along with all types of paper-craft.

I hand make toys (for little people and big) and I enjoy making quirky postcards. I love sewing clothes, making journals, altered art, upcycling, vintage and crochet.

I love giving the gift of handmade. It's so much more personal and meaningful.

Here's a list of some of my fave things: *typography *dia de los muertos (day of the dead) *bunnies *tea (cups and pots) *vintage *old pictures from children's picture books (esp Golden Books) *colours - red, yellow, greeny-blues *kawaii *strange, bizarre, unusual, unique, made-up or supernatural *postcards

Be happy and creative, Magdalena

I love to SEW softies, knick-knacks, clothes and anything that I can imagine in fabric! Machine sewing and hand stitching are both passions.

I PAPERCRAFT and if I could I would make my whole world out of paper. If it just weren't for the darn rain, it would all be ok!

Scrapbooking, making cards, hand made postcards, journals, altered projects.
