I grew up in Yakima, WA and I now work + play in Seattle. I have a beautiful dog, Bella Blue, and I love to be creative in my "spare" time. From cards + scrapbooking to photography, knitting, + baking...if it's creative, I'm interested.
I began my working career in banking (yes, banking!) right out of high school, not being sure of where I wanted to go or what I wanted to do. After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration from Western Washington University (Bellingham, WA), I continued my banking career in Seattle, WA, where I am currently.
While I have always been interested in creative/crafting projects, it was not until college that I truly began to understand the magic of stamping & scrapbooking. I took a few classes and started making my own cards. Shortly after graduating, I spent about five months in Costa Rica (and two shorter trips to Egypt and Nicaragua) with YWAM. When I returned, I wanted to remember the whole trip and created a scrapbook to document my experience there, solidifying my love for scrapbooking and paper crafts.
A lot has changed since then, but one thing remains the same, I love to spend my free time being creative.
