I’m 28 from Michigan.

I love arts and crafts, I knit, sew, junk journal, journal, draw, and paint.

I love nature and hiking. I love ferns, lotus flowers, sunflowers, and mushrooms.

I love coffee. I have to have my daily coffee!! I also like to try different teas. I love vanilla chai tea.

I have a dog and a cat. I’m a bit of a crazy cat lady.

My aesthetic changes on my mood but I like all things spooky, vintage, cute, pastel, and floral/nature.

I’m a Capricorn and I love crystals and stones. I have collected many stones and keep them in tin cans.

I’m a huge collector of sticker sheets and stickers in general. Right now I get pipsticks!!! I also find stickers on Etsy and AliExpress.

I like writing longer letters. My intro letter may be shorter.

I love to decorate my envelopes! And make homemade envelopes.

I love stickers, washi tape, stationary, memos, pens, and more.

Handmaid’s Tale is my absolute favorite!!!

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Love, Death & Robots, Scandal, Orange is the New Black, Shameless, Game of Thrones, Insecure, 90 Day Fiancé, Married at First Sight, Black Mirror, Once Upon a Time

Jane Eyre, Titanic, Studio Ghibli

I like all kinds of music. I recently have gotten into kpop.

Some of the music I like is: Billie Eilish, Lana Del Rey, Neutral Milk Hotel, Post Malone, Bright Eyes, Mac Miller, and more

I especially love paper crafts. I enjoy journaling and junk journaling. I have a happy planner and I’m a teacher so I need to write down a lot of things. I make my own junk journals. I’ve recently learned how to bind a book so that is fun. My junk journals typically are a mix of vintage and floral. However, I also create themed journals such as: baby girl, Alice in Wonderland, halloween, and Christmas.

I also love designing sticker sheets and stickers. I use ProCreate and the pocket version on my phone. I need to get a new iPad lol.

I also love to draw and paint. I have been doing art since I was a child. I love lowbrow art and pop surreal art. I draw with colored pencil, graphite, markers and ink. I use acrylic, watercolor and have recently been trying out oil paints.

I love to knit!! I wish I could crochet but I haven’t learned how yet. I’d love to make a granny square blanket eventually!

I love sewing. I have made blankets, aprons, dresses, and more. Quilts are the most fun for me!!! I love playing with different fabrics!! I also sew details into my junk journals. I like to sew art pieces as well. Tiny art with sewn details.

I am making an Etsy shop for my art, junk journals, and stickers!! @strawberrycurlsco
