My artistic background has given me wide access to many art supplies and skills-from painting, sewing, mosaics, paper crafts and jewelry making. Through the years, I have also taught myself how to upcycle furniture and chalk paint-a great way to feed my need to frequent thrift stores and antique shops. Upcycling continues my passion to help the environment by keeping things out of landfills and reusing them in a better, more updated way. I like creating things that have a unique look and feel to them, which gives your home, or wardrobe a creative one-of-a-kind style. I am here to show you how easy it is to create things for your life. You can make your world lovelier, and I am here to help you do it.
