What or who is your inspires you to create your wonderful items?
"Gosh, I am so inspired by the vintage books that I make into booksafes, or Book Clutches... and the stories from customers who tell me about the story behind why they have ordered the one that they have!

If you were an animal, what would you be, why?
"I would be an eagle, to fly on the level of the heavens, and to experience freedom, peace of mind and freedom...an eagle that soars above all the worries and illusions of the worries here on earth. No war, no worries, just peace."
If told you had to, would you base jump or skydive, why?
"Could I do both?
I would love to do either, not much really scares me too much...except spiders!"

And Lastly....
Living or deceased, what famous person would you most like to meet, why?
"Gosh...Martha Stewart or Ellen Degeneres! Martha Stewart is a DIY Empire, and very savy...so I would meet her with a million questions! Ellen makes me laugh, she exudes such a wonderful light, and her comedy is witty, smart, and clean! There isn't an episode that goes by that I don't laugh and dance, she is what the world really needs more of. Positive energy, love, and laughter! :)"
