A Love Affair With Paper

I have always loved old things. They hold a magic of their own. Greetings cards, book pages, ledgers, stamps. Each has their own magical quality, a story that they hold. Dreaming of who held the book, tucking a bookmark in the pages, thinking of who wrote the letter, sealed it closed and sent it off into the world. I have been a collector for many years, repurposing items in my art journals, paining, collaging, enjoying. I also love sharing these treasures, packaging them up to send out to other lovers of old things.

You can find these special packs in my Etsy Shop if you need some magic in your life.

Hello!!!

Goal today: Publish a blog post.

This is kind of scary, but hey, just jump in, right?

You might be asking, why? Why a blog post? Why you? Why now?

Well, I am starting this blog for a couple of reasons. First of all, I want somewhere to share my work and my creative endeavors. I want a place that holds it all, that I can share with others, that encourages me and motivates me to continue to create.

My second reason is that I want to connect. Even pre-COVID, I have felt lonely and distanced. Sure I have an awesome family, but it gets harder and harder to connect with friends as you get older (can I get an AMEN?)

I guess my final reason is that I want to contribute. I want to share my art and my story.


Thanks for being here and thanks for letting me be real…I hope you will join me in creating, sharing and repeating!
