| Introduction | If you haven't figured it out already, I a native Chicagoan (northsider). I worked in the computer industry for over 20 years and now I am enjoying my semi-retirement. I have always loved to make things with paper. It started with scrapbooking and grew to a variety of altered items and cardmaking. I look at the world a little differently and try to find new ways and items to create and preserve memories. Welcome to my blog. |
| Interests | I love paper, inks, pencils, books, magazines. etc. I started working with paper over 13 years ago. I enjoy scrapbooking and designing new uses for old things. |
| Favorite Movies | Nightmare Before Christmas and Shrek are my favorite movies. |
| Favorite Music | Yes I am an 80's glam band junkie. Groups like Guns and Roses, Rolling Stones and Nine Inch Nails are just some of my favorite groups. It's kind of funny to see kids today who have ear-marked these groups as theirs - little do they know... |
| Favorite Books | I love to read history books and "How to" books. Fiction is OK like Harry Potter or super sleuth books. I have a collection of books just waiting for me. |
Which is more important to you and why: flexibility or expandability?
Life is short and it is important to take time to enjoy it. Flexibility helps to take life as it comes. Art to me is defined as "whatever gives you a reaction - whether positive or negative".
