I am a native New Yorker who started out on the Lower East Side of Manhattan and ended up in Suffolk county (of all places). I enjoy my new nieghborhood. It's a change of pace from the "big city."

I enjoy writing and love writing letters. I journal when I can and like to decorate as I write.

I also enjoy coloring and it has become something both my eldest son and I like to do together.

My favorite genre to read is historical fiction, but I am starting to lean towards history and YA, as well. My favorite series is The Selection and I am actually sad that it ended. Lol I visit the library frequently looking for my next great read!

I definitely love to make things! I like to make charms for planners and I make the occasional bracelet or two. I'm not a huge paper crafter, but I decorate the heck out of my journal and do like to collect little cut outs and such. I have a thing for gift tags for some reason. Some of them are just so pretty.

Who doesn't love pretty things?! I'm a BIG stationery addict, with stickers and washi tape being at the top of my list. I love soft pastel florals and almost anything with turquoise, aqua or Frozen type colors. Alpha stickers are my favorite as well as functional stickers.

Did I mention I love planners?! Well, I most certainly do! I have Filofax, Happy Planner, Recollections, Kate Spade (one of which I converted into a traveler's notebook), Arc, and traveler's notebooks from various Etsy shops. I mostly use personal size for my ringed planners (I tried spiral and wasn't too crazy about it), classic and big for Happy Planner, and various sizes for traveler's notebooks. Planner/traveler's notebook inserts, folders, dividers, and dashboards are always welcomed. :-)

I also have random things that I love....
