Hello! I have always had pen pals from people all around the world but have also been a huge fan of all things paper craft! I love being creative when writing and sending packages to my pen pals so I want to branch out and find something new and exciting to try!

I am obsessed with stickers, stamps, twine, and embossing. I can sometimes go overboard when visiting my local craft stores, but thankfully my husband was generous in helping me build a crafting room all to myself in our house.

I love tea, decorative envelopes, lovely stationary, washi tape, tags, and old post stamps.

I adore anything vintage, especially if it has a French feel to it! But I also love modern, monochromatic, and/or printed items. I certainly bounce back and forth between them all the time!

Favorite Themes:
- Vintage
- Floral
- Abstract
- Jewel-tones
- Shabby Chic
- Country Chic

Favorite Colors and Color Combinations:
- Rose Gold
- Teal
- Navy Blue and Gold
- Pink and Gray
- Gray and Yellow
- Any jewel toned purple, blue, and green

I am a total 80's fan. I grew up listening to 80's pop and rock. My favorite bands are Depeche Mode, Phil Collins/Genesis, U2, and The Police. I also love techno/EDM, 90's alternative rock, and classic rock. I can generally enjoy listening to anything though!

I am a huge fan of horror books. I have read almost everything by Stephen King and Dean Koontz. I also enjoy books by Kevin O'Brien, Greg Iles, Tana French, Peter Straub, Richard Matheson, Thomas Harris, and I was certainly the child who grew up devouring R.L Stine books!

I cannot get enough of good horror movies, but my overall top favorites would include The Strangers, Steel Magnolias, The Boondock Saints, anything by Alfred Hitchcock, the Indiana Jones trilogy, The Shawshank Redemption, Fight Club, and Sleeping With the Enemy.

My taste in TV shows is all over the place. My favorites would be Grey's Anatomy, House, Downton Abbey, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Twilight Zone, Doctor Who, Suits, Family Guy, How to Get Away with Murder, and anything fitness related on YouTube.

Crafting (specifically paper crafting) takes up the majority of my time, and I LOVE it that way. BUT, when I am not in my basement craft room, I do have other areas of interest!

I love spending time with my family. We recently bought a house, have converted our garage into a weight lifting gym, and are looking to improve our overall health.

I have been vegan for two years, although no one else in my household follows my lifestyle choice. Which is totally ok. I love sharing recipes and getting creative in the kitchen.

In my down time I enjoy reading books, listening to podcasts, watching movies, and experimenting with doing my nails. I am not your typical girly girl though, and love to also go ice fishing with my husband, go camping with the family, and lift some serious weights in our gym!
