There are three things you should know about me. I love coffee, cards and dancing. (The actual order on that varies daily...)

Hi! I'm Lea. Wife to Josh and mom to two precious babies in Heaven, Ellie & Layton. We recently said goodbye to our 19-year-old cocker spaniel, Sadie, and find ourselves dogless for the first time in over 20 years. Though it's sad, I'm taking the time to grieve both Sadie and our yorkie, Bailey, before welcoming another furry friend into our lives.

My faith is deeply rooted—not because my life has been filled with cupcakes and rainbows, but quite the opposite. Living day-to-day without our two babies, who we prayed for, longed for, and wanted to keep so badly, is a constant reminder of their absence. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't long for them and grieve.

I currently freelance for various craft companies, offering marketing, creative, and educational services. I use both my education and love of papercrafting every single day at work. I hold a BA in Business Administration from the University of Montana, with an emphasis on marketing and management. I also attended intensive career training at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography, which equates to the education level of a degree—without the extra studies or focus on photojournalism.

My life is incredibly creative, and I work extremely hard to have a career in the industry I love so much. We're currently in the midst of an exciting but crazy year, as we're moving back to my beloved home state of Montana and building our forever home. Thank you so much for being part of my little creative corner in this amazing papercrafting world!
