I also enjoy scrapbooking for my 2 grown children (a boy and a girl). I use multimedia here, too, meaning 'bumpy, lumpy' pages are okay!

I also love crocheting and photographing nature.

In general, I love creating things with my hands, and I love to doodle and write decoratively (calligraphy and hand-drawn lettering).

For TEAS, I prefer green or white tea, as I have a sensitivity to black tea. Chamomile and peppermint are not my preferences. I do love fruity teas (blueberry, lemon, peach, mango, mixed berries, etc.), though! Open to others!
