I'm Veronica I am a sahm to 3 girls and 1 boy. i love creating things for my kids and our house. i also try very hard to artistically express myself through the decorating of our home.

I am a self-taught artist and enjoy working with many different mediums. Currently I enjoy making jewelry with resin, polymer clay, dominos, bamboo tiles, triominos, glass beads, soldered glass inks, stamps, lots of glitter, beads, paint, fabric, threads, yarn.and glass marbles.

I also enjoy spending time with my kids and husband playing out back and listening to my kids giggle and laugh. i love playing board & computer games with them. we enjoy putting puzzles together. crafting together is a favorite for us all.
