I'm a 30-something year old crafter from Australia. Also, mum to two little girls. I love papercraft and have been trying to teach myself to draw and colour with Copic markers, Prismacolours and watercolours. I'm currently keen to find some penpals and swap out excess supplies for yours. I've started a couple of small journals too and would love a range of tapes, stickers, rub-ons for them.
