learning about life by creating

My name is Pamela, and I have a passion for creating something beautiful that did not exist before, and sharing it with others. When I am creating, I am fully in the moment. I love crafting with words, and working with mixed media and collages. Since I was a young girl, I have been fascinated by the concept of the collage: bringing together otherwise disparate elements into something new and aesthetically pleasing. Learning about life by creating.

Childhood fear is a funny thing. We see small fears in children as innocent and sometimes funny. But to a child, it can be terrifying.

Of Monkeys and Pigeons

I lay awake due to monkey brain, so I decided to begin reading Laudato Si' in order to fall back to sleep. Only it woke me more.

Fear Knocks, Love Answers

When I think back on the last six months, it seems that change has been the only constant.

Succulent Fandom

What is this obsession we have with these fat little fleshy plants?

Grazie Mille!

I received an unusual custom order in Italian.

So Perfect

It's extra special to hear the story behind a custom card.
