I started at a very young age crafting and sewing and cooking and creating art, etc,. For me it was a way to get the things that I saw in the stores that I wanted but my parents couldn't afford to get me. So I would take what I could find around the house or my Grandparents house and make my own things. I would also craft with my Grandmother which led me to my love of Vintage. Vintage Craft Supplies remind me of her and I sitting at the kitchen table or at her sewing table and just making things. I would help her cook as well.

I also used creation as a way to escape, to give me something to do. We moved every 6 months to a year so I didn't have many friends. Believe it or not I was actually quite shy when I was younger. I know that no one who knows me now would believe me, but it wasn't until high school where I went all 4 years and finally got an opportunity to make friends that I came out of my shell.

Now I want to share my passion with others and help others find their creative side or help them with new ideas. I love to cook and sew and paint and just plain create in every aspect of life. If I could have my dream job, I think it would be set and costume design for plays and movies. A place where I could see my imagination come to life. :)
