TO REACH ME
1) Leave a comment on my blog
2) Convo me through my Etsy Shop: www.thecraftjunkie.etsy.com


Read on for more than you'd like to know!
I live in beautiful (though rainy) Portland Oregon with my 2 kids and husband of 28 years. I'm a mother, artist, educator and active community volunteer. My passion is for crafting & and almost anything that is creative. I absolutely love figuring out how to make something, then figuring out ways to simplify the techniques in order to teach others.

For me, blogging is a way to organize my thoughts, improve my writing skills, learn more about photography, share my crafts, research ideas and connect with others who have similar interests.

For many years I enjoyed a professional career as a Graphic Designer - working with reputable companies such as Nordstrom, Ninetendo, and Microsoft as well as several Design Firms.

Favorite things (in no particular order)
Documentaries. Chocolate Chip Cookies. Rascal Flatts. Sunshine and Tulips. Car seats with warmers. Massages. Non Fiction. New tools. Haircuts. Getting my magazine subscriptions in the mail, seeing my dog wag her tail when I walk into the room.







Thank you for visiting. I hope you find something interesting or useful in my blog. Please stop by again soon!

  1. Hi. I love your shoes and I really would like to try them, however my walmarts don't sell the plain white shoes anymore. And I can't find them anywhere. Do you have any other ideas where to find them? Thanks so much! Maria

  2. Hi Maria,
    The stores I would check are: Payless Shoe Source, JC Penney, JoAnn Fabric and Crafts, Fred Meyer, Target, Kmart, or any other place that sells shoes. You can also go online and search for Keds brand shoes to find retailers.

  5. Hi there! I attended your class this last Saturday at the 100th Monkey. You did such a great job at instructing and having our kits neatly layed out. It made creating our necklaces so easy! I had such a great time, I rushed home and immediately started thinking of all the people I can make these for! That was the most fun I've had in a long time!

    I know you mentioned you were going to send out a list of wholesalers/locations you buy your pieces from (glass tiles, etc.). My email address on the form may not have been legible so I wanted to be sure I received the info. I wanted to make some for a benefit concert (silent auction) to benefit a young girl who has terminal cancer :) My contact info is: green.eco.chick [!at] gmail.com

    Thanks!
