if I waited to write my bio, I might have never launched this site and images often speak louder than words, so check out my Instagram profiles for a quick glimpse of me, then check back again for updates...

Joker by @willbotic ❤️😊 I'm teaching one of my favorite upcycling projects this Saturday at the Sunderland Public Library! Join me for a lovely crafternoon!! Call the library to register: (413) 665-2642. Hope to see you there!! ❤️😊 My view from the "stage" tonight ❤️ learning the art of public speaking while sharing my love of crafting with Speaker Sisters in Northampton 😊@speakersisterhood Watching Movies + Making Art = how my kids are spending their summer days ❤️ We finally made it to ComicCon! I'm so lucky to have spent my Friday morning with these amazing women of the @speakersisterhood! Twice a month we meet at @ohanaperformingarts + practice the art of public speaking together. Each time I leave feeling energized and inspired!

Join me for a crafternoon this Saturday! Call the Sunderland Public Library to register: (413) 665-2642 😊❤️#sunderlandma #creativereuse #ilovelibraries Just look at how happy she is! I found this record at @turnitupnoho in the bargain bin. Of course, I wasn't looking for music, but rather a surface for my latest creative reuse project: finger labyrinths. I discovered this handy meditation tool in the serenity gardens at the @southhadleypubliclibrary earlier this summer & have been thinking about how to make them since. This project came full circle when I discovered that Margie Adam has a thing for labyrinths, too. So her album has not been upcycled (yet!) 😊❤️Swipe to see the finished pieces...they were so much fun to make! #serendipity #repurposedrecords #creativereuse #margieadam #fingerlabyrinth #meditationtool I learned a new paint technique & suddenly no surface was safe 😊 I painted boxes, buttons, bottle caps and created canvases from wood, cardboard & even a chocolate heart box ❤️so much fun!! thanks @louchmura for the idea & the paint 😘 #crafternoon #upcycling #creativereuse #diypainting #repurposed #trashismycanvas This week I got to design upcycled packaging to ship handmade gifts to members of the @speakersisterhood ❤️😊#dreamjob #speakersisterhood #repurposed #foodcardboard #diypackaging #creativereuse #cheeriosbox @cheerios I'm still feeling the incredible energy from the upcycling workshop I led at the Leominster Public Library this week 😊❤️Special thanks to their creative community and the Marcia O'Donnell Art Activities Fund for having me...I had a blast & look forward to doing it again! . . For anyone local, I'll be teaching this workshop in Southwick, MA on 5/6.
