Short Version: My name is Joy and if I'm not here blogging or on facebook, I'm crafting. I'm a former civil engineer, now a paper engineer. I love to help people make quick, easy and pretty papercrafts! I also love showing people how to use the Cricut! Long Version: I have a daughter, age 17 and a son, age 14 and a fabulous husband. I started crafting and blogging to cope with life. The rumor is that it's cheaper than therapy, but at this point, I'm not too sure. I have three cats that I adore. Quirky Version: I love to read books. I love Italian food, especially pizza, Star Trek, Harry Potter, New Wave music, and fedex package deliveries. I used to build and remodel gas stations and convenience stores, which was a lot more fun than you'd think. I once kissed Henry Winkler (the Fonz).
