About Me
A fresh new catalogue will always make me smile, a tall glass of lemonade signifies the start of summer. I will never underestimate the power of a post-it note. I love anything old, and with a story. I'm always up for a challenge. I love traditions especially when it comes to family & friends. I laugh when I'm nervous. I believe gyms are for sweating not make-up. I think crafting brings people together. That’s me, in a nutshell.
