About Me

When I started my “crafting journey”, I went crazy: macramé, sewing, needlepoint, crochet, knitting, crewel, mosaics, decoupage, watercolor . . . you get the idea. But nothing really “stuck” long term. I just moved on to another craft, feeling that’s the way crafting was going to be for me.

Eventually, I went to a “stamping party”. We followed the instructor, stamped onto paper, colored a bit, and made a couple of cute cards. Nothing “original” … and, I’ve never been really into “cute”! Then another stamp group entered my life. I was hooked!

These were women who were a little further along the card making journey than I was. Through their warm, accepting encouragement, ideas, technique instruction, and praise, along with their inspiring creativity, I realized I too, could “create” beautiful cards(the same me who can’t draw a stick person!) Because I love everything vintage, I finally focused on vintage-style cards and have never looked back. The joy of creating and giving these cards is a fulfillment I had never known. I can’t wait to share this joy with you!
