Hi everyone, I'm in my early 40s, a housewife, and mom to three girls. Lately, I've started getting back into glue books/art journals. I take apart old children's books and turn them into journals. I no longer hoard/save craft bits for that special occasion (which never comes), and use them in my journals. Other crafts I sometimes work on are ATCs, deco books, altered matchboxes, stamp carving, some knitting, crocheting, and sewing.

• Magical creatures: Faeries, gnomes, goblins, elves, etc.
• Watery beauties: Mermaids, selkies, nymphs...
• Fairy Tales esp. Red Riding Hood, Rumpelstiltskin, and Snow White & Rose Red
• Classic storybooks: Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Robin Hood, and One Thousand and One Arabian Nights
• Nature: mushrooms, moss, ferns, dark forests, birch trees (my fav. tree), toadstools, clover, and moths
• Dark and creepy. I love Krampus, unusual oddities, spider webs, skeletons, Japanese obake, and Romanticism-Gothic periods.
• Classic American horror films (Dracula, Frankenstein, The Bride of Frankenstein, Creature from the Black Lagoon, etc.)
• Moon phases
