I love to make stuff!

My current arts and crafts involve: * Mixed Media on canvas * Smash Booking/Journaling * Baking and Cooking *DIY natural health and beauty products (i make my own deoderant, Dish and laundry detergents too... will be experimenting with more products soon)

I have - in the past year - worked with resin molding and polymer clay sculpting...

I want to try making my own wickless candle tarts.

I just moved to Maui July 3rd, 2013. Its the home I never knew until last summer on my vacation here. I fell in love with the land the people and the way of living. Every one is so full of love and life. No one really believed me that I swore I would live here some day. Some day came sooner that any one expected. Less than a year later here I sit under palm and plumeria trees.

There's no big box craft supplies stores here. I get my goodies from swaps n online shopping now. So help a girl out.

I'm open to trades and swaps.
