My name is Anna, and I love to get fun mail! I love paper crafting and sharing crafts with others! I have a teenage daughter, Katy, who is about to finish her junior year in high school. I have been married to my husband, Brad, for 5 years. We have two insane cats, a Russian Blue named McCartney, and an orange tabby named Happy, both boys.

I joined the group because it makes me happy to make things for others, or send things to others to brighten their day. And who doesn’t like getting things, too?

I have a permanent back injury that I struggle with, so I don't work a full-time job. Instead, I drive for Uber and Lyft on my good pain days. I mostly enjoy it. People are generally nice, and it's helpful to be able to bring in a little bit of extra money.

Some of my favorite things are cats, unicorns, washi tape, stickers, scrapbook paper, any paper crafting supplies. My favorite colors are teal and purple.

My favorite shows are Supernatural, Parks and Rec, The Office, Breaking Bad. I also watch a couple of trash tv shows, 90 Day Fiancé and Married at First Sight. Other favorites are Mindhunter, The Walking Dead, Criminal Minds. Friends, How I Met Your Mother, Ozark, Arrested Development, Orange Is the New Black, The Good Place, and really anything related to True Crime!

My main love is paper crafting. Making things out of paper brings me such joy. I always enjoy projects like flipbooks, pocket letters, mini albums, and things of that nature. I'm also always up for finding a new youtube video and learning a new project of technique. Sometimes I'll spend an afternoon just crafting various embellishments in order to expand my stash! I also just got a Cricut a few weeks ago, and I'm very much enjoying learning how to use that to enhance my paper crafting abilities! I've felt very proud of myself to have figured it out pretty well so far! Hopefully, soon, I'll have all the tricks learned!

In addition to the paper crafting addiction, I also sometimes enjoy doing diamond paintings, cross stitching (though not as often these days), jewelry making, and occasionally adult coloring.

There are also crafts I'd love to learn, the main two being crochet and sewing. My mom is an amazing seamstress, but I've never seemed to have the knack for it! Soon, I will power through that and learn how anyway!

I have lots of favorite books. I have been an avid reader all my life! I'll start with some of my all-time faves, in no particular order.

The Count of Monte Cristo She's Come Undone Great Expectations The Harry Potter series

Some of my favorite authors are David Sedaris, Chuck Palahniuk, Kurt Vonnegut. Lately I've been very into reading true crime books.
