Personal : An Introduction

Recently my friend Leyla asked me if I had ever written an introduction for the blog. This month the blog turns 8 months and I haven’t formerly introduced myself.  Forgive me! If you enjoyed the post 15 Things You Didn’t Know About Me you will enjoy this one! 

If you don’t know me from social media or Etsy, or personally you may have stumbled here accidentally but you should know a little about me. I would/could write a long story about my life but we will save that for another time. I hope this is a quick but fun introduction to who I am.
