Hi there! I'm an American homeschooling mom of two little ones. We recently moved back to the USA after living in England and Germany for a few years. I love making and crafting, genealogy, antique shops, going to the beach, and jigsaw puzzles. Check out my Pinterest boards (link above) for the easiest way to see what inspires me.

I mostly love making collages from painted paper, creating minizines, and painting with watercolors. Also stamp carving, book binding, embroidery, and painted rocks. But really I love to experiment with any medium.
