Hi, all! My name's Dawn I'm a 30-something originally from the Seattle area currently living with my significant other in Texas (I know, drastic change, huh?) with our 2 cats. I run an Etsy shop for handmade & vintage cute stuff. I haven't been on this site in a few years, but I'm back & want to try to do more!

If any of our interests seem to line up, feel free to message me about becoming penpals! I'd love more penpals into the same things I am, esp. ones around my age!

I love embroidery & applique, drawing & painting, decoupage, and other papercrafts! I also enjoy journaling/memory keeping.
