About Me

I began doing paper crafting about 25 years ago after attending a Stampin' Up party. I started with stamped greeting cards but have since become interested in collage, assemblage, journaling, soldering, book making, junk journaling. etc. I participate in several swap groups and enjoy making ATC cards and coins, journals, collage, rolos, and all kinds of mixed media.

I have been married 57 years, have 3 children, and two wonderful grandsons - 13 and 16. I am retired so get to spend lots of time in my studio, which is my favorite way to spend free time.

My husband and I love to travel and do so as often as we can. We have a home in southern California but I am originally from the mid west.

I love antiques and love using vintage and antique embellishments on my artwork. I have a thing for butterflies and owls. We have 4 little rescue dogs named Little Brown, Pip, Kiké, and Poco who keep us and on our toes.

We love going to the movies and see most of the new movies in the theatre as they come out.

I love 80's music. I wish I could dance. I love William Morris and the Arts and Crafts Movement of the late 1800's as well as the PreRaphaelite artists.

FaceBook, Instagram, and Pinterest are some of my favorite sites to browse the internet.

I think my kids are some of the most interesting people I know. They love art and music and fashion and can talk about national and world affairs intelligently. They all read and listen to lots of different kinds of music.

I like red wine, dark chocolate, grilled cheese sandwiches, watermelon, raspberries, crispy bacon, and York Peppermint Patties.

Comment: Just as lovely as I knew it would be, Laurie...this beauty has the "look of Laurie"! My eyeballs are particularly drawn to the vintage aspirin advertisement...I have a 12-week-old kitten "helping" me on my craft desk, which means that I can definitely use "one or two tablets as occasion requires". This would be that occasion. Thank you for sharing your wonderful aesthetic with me!

Comment: Thank you for the wonderful 6th Birthday ATC, Laurie. I now need to look for a rubber stamp that is the sentiment you used on your card! As always, your vintage background is gorgeous, and the look on the girl's face is priceless. Love it so much. Thanks for the enclosed extra papers, too; you always send the best stuff!

Comment: What an awesome rolo once again :)! I really love all the elements you’ve used and the neutral colors. I’m just really sad that I can’t put it into my Rolodex as the notches are not suitable for it. I tried to message you but I guess you didn’t get/ see it. The last time I didn’t say anything as I somehow managed to cover the ones you made and make new ones, but the card is so thick it’s impossible to do it neatly. But otherwise I really love your work and all the lovely extras you sent. Thank you!

Comment: Oh Laurie...apparently I'm just a flake in every facet of swapping. Not only are my swaps frequently *tardy*, but my rating is as well. If I could give multiple hearts for this swap, I would do so...she is STUNNING! I adore the green-ness of the background, and the butterfly lady is simply gorgeous. And the wee bird she's holding on her fur muff is the sweetest thing ever (we will ignore the likely origin of the fur...). For some reason, the beautifully turned out lady with the fragile butterfly wings reminds me of the fragility of life itself, and the need to make the most of our time here. And part of MY "most" is having your beautiful artwork arriving at my mailbox as often as it does. You are a gem. I treasure you!
