Hi, I’m Sarah. I live in the sunny (most of the time) state of California.  Scrapbooking has always been a part of my life since my high school days, but it has recently become an everyday activity. On top of being a hobby, it helps me relax and relieve my stress. Besides, the best part about scrapping is there is no right or wrong way to do it, so I can never make a mistake at something I love!

Never in my wildest imaginations did I think that I would be able to create with such amazing design teams,  see my work in printed publications, or be teaching at scrapbook stores. Seriously, it’s been an amazing adventure.

Here, I write about my life. It started as a way to keep in contact with my family and friends, and then it become an outlet for me to document my life. It’s become a place for ME to share my thoughts, my work, and my dreams.

Aside from all of the paper craftiness, I enjoy a bunch of other things in life:

  • bright colors
  • delicious sandwich shops
  • the sound of New York traffic
  • snorkeling
  • exploring tide pools
  • Kate Spade purses and accessories
  • good lighting
  • zombie shows/movie — definitely a guilty pleasure
  • my babies, Maui and Hilo
  • heaters and AC
  • Mediterranean food
  • sewing, knitting, and other forms of craftiness
  • festive decorations
  • finding great bargains and deals
  • visiting new places around the world
  • my phone
  • cooking and baking classic dishes
  • being in love
  • the color green — all shades
  • messy, beach hair after swimming at the beach
  • wearing my Kate Spade polarized glasses in Hawaii
  • the question “Why?”
  • learning and relearning

Thanks to the people who have supported me along the way and encouraged me to create with no regrets. You guys rock!
