I’m 35 years old and married with 2 daughters. They are 11 and 14. I am a maker and I absolutely love what I do! Most of my makes are alien and cryptid themed as I am a bit OBSESSED.
I love happy mail. I love the idea that someone sat down and took the time to put something together with me in their mind. I also love making packages the same way. I love getting to know a person a bit and making something special for them. Sometimes that is just little things to make them think of happier times or things to remind them that things will get better. I love being able to make someone smile. I really enjoy getting things that are handmade and unique. I also collect cassettes.

I do lots of different crafts. I get carried away learning new hobbies. I absolutely love working with clay. I love to make jewelry. I love making stationery and greeting cards. I also paint and draw. I crochet and sew, really I do a little bit of everything. I love to smashbook too. We do a new one each summer of our summer bucket list and my kids love to show them to guests. I also have a happy planner that I love decorating. Oh, we are also huge fans of perler beads,lol. I am a big geocacher and love making swag for them.

I am a music addict! My husband is a musician and I think that is where part of my passion for music comes from. My tastes are all over the place. Some of my favorites are Jake Bugg, Van Morrison, and J Roddy Walston. Seriously my tastes are all over, lol. I love making mixes for people, I find it easier to express how I feel in a mixture of songs than in actual words. I'm the girl who still wants her cds signed, why did people ever stop that?

I love to write but I also love reading. I love zines! I love murder mystery type stuff, thriller, horror and trashy books. I also really love young adult books. Some of my favorite writers are Kathy Reichs, Tess Gerritsen, and Dan Brown. I host a book club once a month and it has really opened me up to a lot of new books. I just finished reading This is Where it Ends and I really liked it. My book club has this habit of trying to up one another making each other cry, lol.

I love tons of things and anything I get that I can't use I will happily pass it on to the next crafter. Some of my favorite things to receive though are... Anything handmade Aliens and cryptids animals with glasses anything teal all things fox Yarn especially scraps and odd yarns for magic balls! Fabric Washi planner goodies crochet patterns cotton yarns safety eyes for stuffed animals girl scout items bouncy balls zines all things mixed tape fun goodies for my kiddos. They love pandas and mermaids. Little trinkets and toys to use as swag for geocaching.
