About Shauna

I fell in love with the art of rubber stamping when I was 12 years old. I blame my grandparents. I already had every crafty hobby imaginable when they bought me a few stamps, an ink pad, and some embossing powder. I was hooked. From that point on, no special occasion has gone unmarked by one of my hand-crafted creations. Scrapbooking came next, and though it isn't my first love, it's a close second.

A Perfect Birthday

Parts of my birthday were pretty perfect. Like this raspberry macaron.  Not the part where I should re-learn how to walk, since clearly I’m failing at that.  Not the part where I splatted onto the middle of the street with … Continue reading

Fol Epi

Fol Epi.. Doesn’t that sound like a name of a god?  A bakery of the gods?  Why yes, yes it is.  Or at least their baked goods taste heavenly. I should really start out by putting some blame somewhere.  Blame … Continue reading

Simple Silhouettes

Do you go to your highschool reunions?  I had my 10-year last night, and I can’t say it was what I’d imagined.  It probably didn’t help matters that my head felt explodey.  I was walking around not enjoying talking to … Continue reading
