Hello! I'm a proud fifth-generation Montanan, living in Columbia Falls with my wonderful husband, our three energetic dogs, and a cat who decided to make us their family and runs our household. I work full-time at an amazing physical therapy company that I love. We have three incredible sons who are now off on their own adventures, and with them grown, I've found the time to dive into the hobbies that bring me joy.

You'll often find me by the rivers and lakes with our dogs, indulging in my passion for rockhounding. My grandpa was the ultimate rockhounder, and the agates he found on the Yellowstone River are treasures I hold dear. When I'm not collecting and tumbling rocks, I'm busy with my tumblers creating sea glass. Discovering that I could make my own sea glass opened up a whole new world for me. My tumblers are always running, turning out beautiful, cultured sea glass that I use to craft stunning wreaths and sun catchers. Adding colorful beads and Montana wood from local lakes and rivers makes each piece unique. The sun catchers are especially magical, catching the light whether they're outside or in a window.

A couple of years ago, I started a new creative journey, making vintage handmade art from old books and paper. This has become my passion. I love collecting vintage books, staining paper, and creating beautiful journals, ephemera, and decoupage art. It's a wonderful way to breathe new life into forgotten books and turn them into eye-catching décor pieces. The pages of a book offer endless opportunities for artistic expression.

One of my favorite projects is making junk journals. These unique journals are crafted from found and recycled materials, and the process of collaging, layering, and embellishing with these materials creates visually captivating pages. Junk journals make wonderful gifts and are perfect for documenting memories, preserving cherished keepsakes, expressing creativity, and fostering self-discovery and mindfulness.
