Metal stamping jewelry and dog tags, running a cat sanctuary, and planning trip itineraries.
I recently got into metal stamping by trying to find a way for my shop to differentiate our gear bags with a cost-effective solution, and found inexpensive colorful aluminum dog tags and a basic metal stamping kit. This turned into finding aluminum and copper bracelets and rings, and decorative lettering stamps, and I've been creating items for friends and family ever since. I am also a foster fail, and have one too many cats I take care of at home, and am blessed with a mostly understanding family of the situation. Always having loved to travel, and after the military and seeing other countries, I enjoy visiting new places and planning trips, picking spots to visit and food places to eat.
