About me

Location Kitchener, Ontario, Canada
Introduction Hey! So you want to know more about me? Well.... My real name is Jen and this is my fabulous blog about everything creative and the activities and projects that inspire me. Vivian the Viking is my alias for letterboxing, which is an urban treasure hunt for hidden art in the form of a carved stamp. I have been letterboxing for several years now and I find that the activity inspires me to be more creative in all facets about my life. So..... I sleep, I work, I letterbox, I craft... then sleep if I have time, work, letterbox and then craft. It is a viscous cycle that I wouldn’t have any other way. I am a stamp carver, crafter, glue gun enthusiast, amateur bookbinder (you are sure to hear much about my frustrations with anything requiring precision) and public art enthusiast. I have an obsession with vintage buttons, neon spray paint and thrift store finds. I believe that creativity feed the soul, binds community, and sometimes makes us just uncomfortable enough that we want to be more, see more, do more and take more chances. I hope you enjoy updates about my adventures in letterboxing, crafting, and everything else I just feel like posting about. I would love to hear from you.
