About Me: 
I am an independent crafter and freelance writer living in Atlanta, Georgia with my husband and two cats. I love working with vintage fabric and salvaged materials. There’s just something about giving found objects a brand new life that really appeals to me. They lend their own stories to everything I make. My crafty business, Glue and Glitter, is all about using existing materials in products that helps folks waste less without feeling deprived. I believe in the power of little changes: using cloth napkins instead of paper or a reusable bag instead of a plastic one. Things like this add up to make a big impact! Even the act of cooking is so much greener than takeout when you consider all of the packaging and whatnot involved in ordering that Chinese delivery. If a cute apron encourages you to get in the kitchen and put a meal together, or a Lunch Kit would get you packing your lunch for work or school, I hope that I can make one to inspire you! You can find my writing on my own blog and on Crafting a Green World, greenUPGRADER, Eat. Drink. Better., and Ecolocalizer. I write about eco-friendly crafts and sustainable living. When I'm not writing or sewing, you can probably find me in the kitchen. I love cooking big meals for my friends and family, and firmly believe that nothing says love like a tray of vegan cupcakes!
