Family, Travel, and Art / Sewing
Spending time with my family is my favorite thing to do! Whether we are traveling or just being at home, every minute is the best. I love to travel, my favorite place to visit so far is Italy; the food, the scenery, the people, all amazing! When I have some time to myself I try to create; it could be jewelry, painting, or sewing.
