Hi my name is Janna I am a mom, wife, maker, small business owner, and I love to make and create. My introduction into the craft world was with bead work back in 2011 when I started my first job in education. Since then I have added new styles and skills to my skill repertoire. Currently I focus on paper crafts, resin work, and journal making. I am a Tim Holtz Addict, a Daven Peep, and an all around maker.
