About Me

Hi, I'm Dianne and I've been in love with crafting for as long as I can remember. I'm happiest when I have glue on my fingers, glitter in my hair, or a paintbrush in my hand!

My creative journey with paper crafting took flight 25 years ago when a dear friend invited me to a Stampin' Up! weekend retreat. One weekend was all it took. I was hooked! Since then, I've spent countless hours creating handmade cards, paper crafts, gifts, banners, home décor, and all kinds of creative projects. When Pinterest arrived, my crafting world expanded even further, opening the door to endless inspiration and possibilities.

My favorite thing to do is celebrate the people I love through creativity. Whether I'm hosting a card-making workshop, organizing a Pinterest-inspired craft party, or creating handmade gifts during the holidays, crafting is my way of sharing joy and making meaningful connections.

This website is where I share my passion for card making, paper crafting, DIY projects, creative inspiration, and the occasional crafty adventure. My hope is that you'll find ideas, encouragement, and inspiration to create something beautiful of your own.

When I'm not in my craft room, you'll probably find me cheering on the Seattle Seahawks, listening to baseball games, or attending musical theater productions. Friends and family joke that I'm in full NFL lockdown mode from Sunday morning through Monday night during football season!

I'm also a year-round Christmas enthusiast. I'll happily listen to Christmas music any day of the year, and I'm a devoted Hallmark Christmas movie fan. Christmas in July and the Hallmark Channel's annual Countdown to Christmas are some of my favorite times of the year.

I love treasure hunting at thrift stores and antique shops, searching for unique finds and hidden gems that spark creative ideas. One of my favorite ways to spend a day is exploring a quaint historic town, browsing local shops, discovering inspiration around every corner, and tracking down the perfect bakery for a delicious treat and a caramel mocha.

I also enjoy spending time with family, friends, and my pets. A few years ago, I added watercolor painting to my list of creative passions. The only challenge is finding enough time for all the crafts, hobbies, and adventures I love!

Thank you for stopping by. I'm so glad you're here, and I can't wait to share my creative journey with you.

Happy Crafting!
