About Us

Humble Adopted: November 10th, 2004 [best decision I've ever made] Pet names: He has quite a lot of them [too many to list!], but among them are Bumble, Huh-Roh, Momo, Sweet Cheeks, Sweetness, Precious and Cloud Puff. :o) Loves: having unrelenting power over me his forts decorating our home with his hairs :o) shredding loo rolls shredding and sitting on paper towels shredding and sitting on cardboard shredding and sitting on paper bags giving birds "The Stare" lounging on the couch together watching Murder, She Wrote and Columbo brushings jumping out and attacking my ankles general mischief and shenanigans Prefers: his birthday suit over wearing anything when I don't sing to him [but he puts up with it so well!] Proof that he has a heart of gold: Humble is very gentle with bugs.  If we ever see one in our home, he'll try to pet and play with the bug rather than kill him.  He's tenderhearted. :o) Chan Loves: Humble other animals making things A dream of mine: To move us into a Tumbleweed tiny house.  My dream home is the Cypress 24.  IN. LOVE. WITH. IT. Prefers: the company of animals and a simple life My crafting: I've tried and loved many different kinds of crafts throughout my life.  In May 2009, I jumped into card making with both feet, and now paper crafting in different forms has become my 'longest lasting craft'.  I was actually interested in stamping long before card making came along -- I would stamp in my journals and on snail mail as a kid.  Before card making, I was really into hand-carving stamps [I would stamp in my journals and make ATCs], and my favourite stamp of all is one that I carved of my Humble cartoon. :o) Some of the crafts I was into before paper crafting took over were embroidery, woodburning and jewelry making.  I used to have a little web shop where I sold handmade jewelry and vintage finds. :o)  I really like hand-sewing things, and even though I don't work on embroidery projects like I used to, I love including hand-stitching on my cards and other paper crafts. I've recently gone back to carving stamps/linocuts, and I'm in love with it all over again!  It just wakes me up.  I hope that with enough practice, I can one day consider myself a printmaker.
