I am a Book Artist and love making something out of nothing. I love anything handmade.
I am the daughter of a farmer and originally come off a Farm in South Canterbury, in the South Island. I have a brother and a sister who still live in the South and a wonderful Dad and JenJen.
When I left school I came to Wellington and have never left! I have a gorgeous family. Gerry, my partner and 3 beautiful boys. The twins who are 6 and an 8 yr old son who has Down syndrome.
We live in a wonderful seaside village called Paekakariki on the Kapiti coast.

I love my Family
