About Me

Me? I’m mostly a wannabe, because I wasn't the kid that got the artistic gene. But I try to make up for talent with creativity and have become an incurable eclectic crafter, mixed media and ATCs being my playground. I still dabble in several hundred other things though, such as handcrafted cakes and chocolates that were my first avenues into artistic crafting. I also like sewing, crocheting, polymer clay, jewelry making, and papercrafting, with some current leanings toward whimsical steampunk.

I'm passionate about family history and most of my creations reflect vintage and antique flavors that invoke the memories that I seek to share with my family. I married my best friend and we have a great big beautiful family of 6 kids and 10 grandkids, so my inspiration is endless.

Favorite colors are blues, pinks and yellows; I really love hummingbirds and butterflies and mermaids; Some of my favorite flowers are Roses, Forget-me-nots, Hydrangeas, Lilacs and Peonies; I love the outdoors, be it the mountains of Montana or the Pacific Northwest Coastlines.

Things I don't like: Zodiac,skeletons, witches and "dark" themes. Mardi Gras, Day of the Dead, Black and Red used together.

Favorite Music

Music is soothing to the soul and I like most of it but lean toward smooth jazz if I'm creating. Cleaning house, I like good ole rock and roll.

Favorite Books

Favs are Frank Peretti and Catherine Marshall

Favorite Movies

Gone with the Wind and anything with Goldie Hawn or Kate Hudson

Favorite Television

Not much for TV, but I like to watch General Hospital and The Shark Tank or Antique Roadshow

Favorite Crafts

Oh Boy.....I like all crafts! Have been doing alot of ATC's and Cards but am putting together some altered art/mixed media shadow boxes right now. Tim Holtz and Graphic 45 and 7 Gypsies always get my attention!

Response: Ha Ha~ Gotta love 'em! I'm really glad you like your card and extras! Just getting started here and am trying to catch on to the "unspoken etiquette." The "extras" just give the packet a little something, well, extra! Thanks for the heart!
