Hi, I'm Suzie and I've been crafting for many years. 

I started cross-stitching when I was in grade school and still enjoy working on these projects -- especially as wedding gifts. 

Over time, I moved into wearable art (mostly Christmas sweatshirts), projects with painted wood, fabric crafts, and paper crafts -- which has transformed primarily into card making.  It started when I would find a fantastic piece of printed paper that just cried out to be a card.  Now, I still love to use fantastic paper, but these days I can take plain paper and turn it into something really great! 

I use a variety of tools and embellishments for my cards -- from simple stickers to the Cricut Expressions machine (...which I LOVE!). 

I also do some rubber stamping and some scrapbooking, but mostly I create handmade, one-of-a-kind cards. 

When I'm not crafting I love spending time with my 3 nephews and 1 niece, reading, listening to music, step aerobics, being outside, hiking, whitewater rafting, being at the beach, traveling, and going on the occasional sky dive. 

I recently had a partial thyroidectomy and this website has allowed me to share my story and help others going through a similar experience.
