An Auto"book"ography!
I fell in love with making handmade books when I was in high school. Mrs. Robbins, my high school art teacher had us tear up newspaper to make paper pulp in the process of creating our covers. Since then, over the past 30 years, I have crafted many books for the people I love in my life: from my own kids, to my niece and nephew, sister, friends, students and penpal.

The Storyteller
There was a single sentence that my Grandpa would hear from me every single day when I was a little girl, standing in front of his chair with a photo album in my tiny little hands and looking up at him with wonder-filled eyes; "Grandpa, will you tell me the stories about the pictures?"

Masquerades
“Hi! How can I help you?” I ask, bracing myself to mirror the person in front of me in order to react with whatever is needed. I slip into a mask and reflect what I believe is desired. I wear so many different masks every day: I am a lion, asserting and defending. I am a doe, capitulating and caring. I am an owl, wise and leery. I am a fox, sly and conniving. I am a monkey, silly and carefree. Yes, I am, I am, I am... but I am never me.

Crafting My Way to My Dream Job
Big scissors. Big ole scissors. Those big ole honkin’ scissors you see cutting ribbons for the grand opening of hotels, restaurants, railroads, or anything exciting and majestic. Where do you think they keep those scissors? Grand openings are a rare occurrence and one befitting a ribbon… even more rare. Do we think there is one pair that travels from New York to Miami to London gracing the world with their elegance? I tend to think there is, and do you know what that means? They have a caretaker. Someone who’s existence is dedicated to protecting them, making them shine, so they in turn, can make the moment shine even brighter – and that is my dream job.
