Dislikes:

• Anything Satanic, Demonic, Wicca
• Witchcraft, Devining, (in worship, religious, or belief sense... fiction is okay) I don't mind Halloween for instance (though I don't celebrate it anymore), and I do enjoy Harry Potter and Anne Rice books, but things like reading palms and casting spells for this or that, tracking horoscopes and tarot cards don't interest me.
• If you would like to write about your story or experiences with any of the above and/or would like me to share my story I am 100% open to having those conversations so long as we both enter into the convo with the intent of learning and being kind! 😍

I love anything creative and see art in everything. I never know which medium will grab my attention each day, but I always try to have fun with it!

Some that I enjoy most would be:

All Papercrafts (scrapbooking; DIY ephemera, bookmarks, tags; flipbooks of all varieties, paper weaving, origami, decoupage...)

Bookbinding

Crocheting & Cross Stitch

Sewing (I'm a newbie with this one but have done a few projects I am happy with)

Calligraphy & Hand Lettering

Sketching, drawing, zentangles, doodling, digital art, painting (watercolor, gouache, acrylics), sculpting

Jewelry making, wood earring painting, dangle making, glitter and sequin shakers,

Stamping and stamp carving (newbie at making my own stamps but its a lot of fun)

Cardboard crafts & Carpentry... I like to make small and large furniture and storage pieces. Some I have done include:

• Foam board: pen organizer for a cube shelving unit to organize my obnoxious pen/marker collection...

• Wood: lazy susan organizers, kitchen drawer organizers...

• Cardboard: DIY boxes, slotted boxes with back flaps, DIY book covers, DIY binders, DIY organizers...

Rejoice always. Pray continually. Give thanks in all circumstances for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
