“I’ve always been someone who finds peace in the rhythm of working with my hands. Whether it’s the steady click of knitting needles or the intricate layers of a new quilt, I love the process of making. But there is something uniquely magical about papercrafting.
Unlike my ‘slow-make’ projects, a handmade card offers that spark of instant joy. Inspired by the colors of nature and the incredible community of makers online, I create because I love the result—but I share because I love the connection. There’s nothing quite like helping someone else discover that same ‘I made this!’ feeling. I’m so happy to share this journey with you.”
“When I’m not surrounded by paper scraps or quilting squares, my heart is usually occupied by my family and a very busy backyard here in Texas. My faith is the compass for everything I do, but my daily life is mostly directed by a cast of characters that keeps me laughing.
There’s Winnie, our young female Great Pyrenees with that unique combination of restful alertness and boundless energy, who joined our family after Gigi and Draco passed on. She is every inch her breed! And there’s Smudge, our rare male calico who was rescued from a storm drain during a thunderstorm by my daughter.
Speaking of my kids, I’m incredibly proud of my talented adult son and daughter, and of course, my wonderful husband who walks this wild life with me. Together, we share our home with the oiseaux sauvages—the wild birds in our backyard that seem to take great joy in taunting Winnie from the safety of the trees. It’s a full house and a full life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
