I started crafting about 2-3 years ago when my best friend at work who is a great paper craftier got me into it. I purchased a silhouette machine and here I am crafting away as a beginner. I just retired and moved to AZ. Single but my partner and I are very happy and between the two of us we have six cats.

Favorite Music

Crafting really relaxes me but listening to music while crafting is what i love the best and is most relaxing. I like all kinds of music but easy listening is my fave.

Favorite Crafts

I like wood crafting with vinyl and paint the most. Venetta is pushing me to do tags and cards and I really enjoy that too.

My favorite colors are red and yellow but i like gray also but I do not like blue or really any shade of blue except maybe midnight blue.
