Hi, I’m Sara! I’ve been blogging on and off for 15 years. During that time, I worked as a greeting card artist, graphic designer, small business owner, and social media content creator. I took a break from work to focus on my health and care for my son, but now I’m excited to dive back into the art world. I’ve always had a passion for sharing art, handmade, and products I love. I hope you enjoy my finds. Thanks for being here! Don't forget to follow on Pinterest for more things I love.
