I was an arts and crafts enthusiast from a young age! I thought it was exciting in the 4th grade when my mom allowed me to run the iron all by myself.

I like trying all kinds of different arts and crafts and have a hard time following a pattern. I like borrowing ideas from other creative minds and making them my own.
