Hi everyone!!! I'm new to blogger but definitely not new to blogging.

I used to blog a lot about my life, my ups and downs, my cycles of depression and "finding myself" while in college. Well, I've grown up a lot, I've been out in the "real world" and have come to term with lots of things and am focusing my life in one area: my art.

Since I was little, I would spend all day painting pictures for my dad when he got home from work. I'd collect leaves in every different color and paste them onto paper in an order that 'looked good' to me. I would string jewelry together in not so pretty patterns but for a child of that age, I was quite the mastermind.

Now, I use my talents as a form of therapy for me. No, I don't always add mustaches to pictures and call it art (although it is fun..). I make jewelry, accessories, paintings, and paper goods like cards and hand-painted giftboxes. Nothing is better than getting lost in a project, completing it, and having it being accepted and enjoyed not only by myself, but by others as well.

I am starting this blog in hopes to meet new people who have the same interests as me, perhaps some etsy people who want to share ideas. But I don't want to limit myself to just talking about my craft.. sometimes it's a good break to get 'out of my head' once in a while and step away from the craft table/photo area/etsy.com.

Sometimes I become so consumed in it that I stay up all night.. and tonight is one of those nights. Bed time and best wishes...

Love,

Melissa
