Hi there, this is Darshana here. I am born and bought in India living in the US from past 2 years. I enjoy the swaps and challenges that happen here quite often. I have been crafting since 2010 and have never stuck to one kind of crafting. Currently s stay at home to a 7 year old boy who enjoys crafting as much as I do. Though he is more into portals and dinosaurs.

Some more details about me : 1. I love listening to music while working be it the craft table to kitchen. 2. I love watching movies and others series on Netflix. Binge watched Better Call Saul and Breaking bad for the second time recently. I am dedicated viewer of Criminal Minds (they are almost like family now). 3. I don't enjoy travelling that much, though Travel albums and the theme in general is one of my favorites. 4. I don't read either. Books put me to sleep, I prefer the audio books. 5. I love watching craft videos and true crime videos on you tube. Kendall Rae is on my fav Yo tubers when it comes to True Cime videos.

Well, I have tried my hand at quite a few things. - My crafting journey started with Krystina Werner who actually got me hooked to Cardmaking. I still enjoy her videos and re watch some of her old videos for inspiration. - Quilling & Jewellery making : Something that I have attended classes for. I was passionate about jewelllery for quite some time. I also did sell them at some point in time. Quilling required a lot of patience so I gave up on hat quickly. I also made dream catchers at some point. - Then came the phase of Junk Journaling and Scrapbooking. I enjoy making journals and would say that it is my fav craft form. I also enjoy trying out different tutorials on youtube and making embellishments.

Things that I love : 1. Pattern Papers : I can never have enough of Pattern Papers. Once I buy them I cannot convince myself to cut them. So I am a hoarder of paper. 2. Doilies : They are a very integral part of all my crafts. I add them on everything that I can think of. 3. Etsy Printables : I am frequent visitor on etsy looking for printables. I get lot of my junk journal printable from there. 4. Washi tapes : I have enough Washi's said no one ever....... Most of my swaps are for washis so far. 5. Pens : I buy a lot of Pens from everywhere and everytime. 6. Paper Ephemera and embellishments : That's some thing that you will see me making all the time. I have a huge stash of scraps that go into making embellishments. Septeria18 on Youtube has some really nice tutorials that I like to follow.

Favorite Color : Blue and Yellow. I love bright colors, Pastels are not for me, the brighter the better. I also love the color red sometimes.

Fav Theme : It would be travel / Summer / spring. You find some of the brightest colors in these themes.

Fav brands : Maggie Holmes, Echo Park and Simple Stories.

Dislikes / Not for me : I am not much of a fan of brown color, but do enjoy it in the vintage theme. Also no religious sentiments of images. No Kids stickers. No Political items.

I appreciate anything and everything that is handmade.
