I live in northern Minnesota with my husband, teenage daughter, two rescued dogs, a cat and a goldfish. We spend a lot of time outdoors in the summer enjoying the weather but during the winter months when I’m not at work you can find me in my stamp room.

Over the years I have tried my hand at many different crafts but stamping is my favorite.  When I was young I used to collect cute stationary papers and I’ve always loved coloring so stamping and card making seemed like a natural fit for me. Now I have an entire room dedicated to papers, stamps, inks, colored pencils, markers, tools, etc, etc, etc. Life is good.
