Papercrafter, cake decorator, tattoo lover, cat collector, taxidermy hoarder, and the last candy corn enthusiast on Earth.

I work at two different bakeries, as both a cake decorator and baker. I love my job(s) but they are both stressful and tiring. When I'm not sleeping off 60+ hours of work I'm at my crafting table, brushing cats off me, trying to create something gaggably cute.

Paper is my favorite medium but I've never made a scrapbook page in my life.

Faux taxidermy paper mounts? Made it. Coffee filter roses? Have a million. Functioning paper potion bottles? Yes. 3D collapsible paper carousels? Done and done.

When I feel like I need a paper-hiatus, I also like to bake, do cross-stitch, and work with felt.
