About Me
I love creating with paper and have been making cards for over 25 years. For the past two years I gained a crafting buddy, my cat Harley. He would sit beside me as I crafted and provided valuable input on my creations :-) He recently passed away but I can still feel him beside me helping me create cards that I hope bring smiles to those who receive them.
