One of the biggest thrills for me, ever since I was a little girl, is the process of creating something beautiful from something ordinary, creating something new from something old...creating something, from nothing.

Like many little girls, I had a collection of dolls. But the greatest fun I had was not so much in playing with my dolls, but in making a creative, tiny world for them. I'd sew pretty clothes from scraps, and I'd transform shoe boxes into lavishly decorated houses. The tiny details were always my favorite part, and naturally, all the goodies I used were happily rescued from a wasteful fate in the trash bin...I was a great collector of all sorts of treasures to be up-cycled! So, that is how my love of up-cycling began...all those years ago. Now, I am so happy to make beautiful one-of-a-kind items for you to enjoy, too! :o)

For as long as I can remember, I have always had some sort of creative project in the works...or two...or three projects at once! From painting wall murals, illustrating, designing & making unique clothing & home decor, wood carving, music composing, writing, scrap-booking, photography...you name it! I absolutely love creating artful beauty in this world. And I love being able to share it with you!
