Describe yourself: Creative, quiet, reliable, contented.
What matters to you? My faith in Jesus Christ and my family and friends.
How and when did you get addicted to crafts? In 2000 a friend introduced me to cardmaking and I resisted scrapbooking until 2004 when I did a heritage class and fell in love with it.
What's your fav brand? Oooh...there's too many for just one! Kaisercraft, Basic Grey & Prima.
If you could only keep THREE products or tools what would they be? Craft knife, double sided tape and paper.
What does your desk look like before, during and after scrapping? Tidy, messy, tidy. Until a projects finished it's everywhere, but then it has to be tidy for the next project.
Do you have any crafting goals? Never stop creating......and finish my heritage album.
