About Me

I began doing paper crafting about 25 years ago after attending a Stampin' Up party. I started with stamped greeting cards but have since become interested in collage, assemblage, journaling, soldering, book making, junk journaling. etc. I participate in several swap groups and enjoy making ATC cards and coins, journals, collage, rolos, and all kinds of mixed media.

I have been married 57 years, have 3 children, and two wonderful grandsons - 13 and 16. I am retired so get to spend lots of time in my studio, which is my favorite way to spend free time.

My husband and I love to travel and do so as often as we can. We have a home in southern California but I am originally from the mid west.

I love antiques and love using vintage and antique embellishments on my artwork. I have a thing for butterflies and owls. We have 4 little rescue dogs named Little Brown, Pip, Kiké, and Poco who keep us and on our toes.

We love going to the movies and see most of the new movies in the theatre as they come out.

I love 80's music. I wish I could dance. I love William Morris and the Arts and Crafts Movement of the late 1800's as well as the PreRaphaelite artists.

FaceBook, Instagram, and Pinterest are some of my favorite sites to browse the internet.

I think my kids are some of the most interesting people I know. They love art and music and fashion and can talk about national and world affairs intelligently. They all read and listen to lots of different kinds of music.

I like red wine, dark chocolate, grilled cheese sandwiches, watermelon, raspberries, crispy bacon, and York Peppermint Patties.

Comment: Hey Laurie…I received your nostalgia themed tag flip and I quite simply “love it”. I strung the tags on the chain you enclosed for me but in the process of doing so I sort of ripped the 2nd tag when I was trying to get it thru the eyelet hole but I fixed it…all good…🤗. Thanks once again…happy holidays!

Comment: Oh, the horrible towering stacks of paper (etc.) on my craft desk...I'm trying to eliminate them, caused a huge landslide (paperslide?), which I suppose is a good thing, because lo and behold, there was your rolo with belly band! I owe so many people so many apologies, and I will start with you...I am truly sorry for my lateness in making and in rating. In my next life (I've already started planning), I will make sure I'm a deadline-compliant kind of person. Anyway. Ah-mazing rolo; love the belly band; and I also love the bits captured by the belly band. Seeing your name on mail means a happy day for me, Laurie, and I thank you so much for that. You're a treasure in so many ways!
