Crafty, Silly, and Aspiring to be the best me possible! A journey of a student of life!
Interests: If it's crafty I love it, I want to try it, do it, and make it mine! I also enjoy exploring my path, the world around me, and making other people smile. I make art every day and am studying to be an art therapist. You can catch me hanging out with my dogs and husband when I'm not making art, an awesome latte, or blogging!
