About Me

I began doing paper crafting about 25 years ago after attending a Stampin' Up party. I started with stamped greeting cards but have since become interested in collage, assemblage, journaling, soldering, book making, junk journaling. etc. I participate in several swap groups and enjoy making ATC cards and coins, journals, collage, rolos, and all kinds of mixed media.

I have been married 57 years, have 3 children, and two wonderful grandsons - 13 and 16. I am retired so get to spend lots of time in my studio, which is my favorite way to spend free time.

My husband and I love to travel and do so as often as we can. We have a home in southern California but I am originally from the mid west.

I love antiques and love using vintage and antique embellishments on my artwork. I have a thing for butterflies and owls. We have 4 little rescue dogs named Little Brown, Pip, Kiké, and Poco who keep us and on our toes.

We love going to the movies and see most of the new movies in the theatre as they come out.

I love 80's music. I wish I could dance. I love William Morris and the Arts and Crafts Movement of the late 1800's as well as the PreRaphaelite artists.

FaceBook, Instagram, and Pinterest are some of my favorite sites to browse the internet.

I think my kids are some of the most interesting people I know. They love art and music and fashion and can talk about national and world affairs intelligently. They all read and listen to lots of different kinds of music.

I like red wine, dark chocolate, grilled cheese sandwiches, watermelon, raspberries, crispy bacon, and York Peppermint Patties.

Comment: I'm telling you, these belong in a gallery of small art. They are stunning. I'm so impressed! Did you make a Japanese masterboard (big) or did you beautifully collage each card? (Asking for a friend.) In all seriousness, what a wonderful idea...masterboards for use with some of the swap themes that come around regularly. I'm going to do it! If I ever get caught up, I'm doing it!

Comment: I've discovered that I also like the "rosewood" color, particularly the way you put it together with some yummy neutrals! It's a more sophisticated color than pink...more adult somehow. And less visually violent (I just made that up) than bright red. It may be the perfect color! Thank you so much for being the most wonderful swap partner, my friend. I don't remember if I told you, but my little foster kitten, Luigi Mangione Farrington, died. I was (I still am) broken-hearted, and I feel responsible. I'm devastated. He was such a lovely little baby, just perfect. And then he went downhill very fast...I didn't realize what was happening until it was too late. I'm not going to stop fostering, though. I love them all so much.
Response: D: I am sooo sorry about the little baby boy kitten you were fostering. He was so precious and I know you did everything you could for him. But it must have been so sad to lose him so fast and so small. Glad you are continuing to foster though. I know in my heart that you are made for this! Hugs. L

Comment: Well...stunning, as always! Although Adelaide has a rather somber expression, she has made me happy on this day. Thank you so much, Laurie, and I'n thrilled that your craft room is settled. I have been in my wee home for 6 months, and suffice it to say, I am nowhere near being settled. I have no one to blame but myself, and I think Miss Adelaide has provided an attitude adjustment!

Comment: Wow thank you for this great Orange page, so many great things to look at. Love those birds they made me laugh because they look like they are up to something in the garden. The tulips and heart and everything else are so pretty. Great job. Take care

Comment: It strikes me that this is a snippet version of one of your beautiful index cards...it has Laurie Davis written all over it! (You know...not literally!) I think we should keep snippet roll swaps going, in one group or another. You hosted this one, and I'll host the next one. I joined a swap in which we sent papers and random supplies to our partner...all in white. I made 3 pretty multi-layered clusters (among other white things), and she had no idea what they are. I put a sticky note on them, but I'm guessing she mostly does swaps of things, and not paper crafts. Anyway...your snippet strip is just wonderful.
