INTRODUCING SARABETH!
All About My Obsession:
How long have you been crafting?
Ever since I can remember I have always been doing some sort of craft. I give credit to a dear friend of the family (who was my babysitter for some time) who introduced me to this amazing hobby. About 6 years ago, when I new that hubby was going to be the one and only for me-I started scrapbooking. I had saved everything-movie tickets, receipts, etc... from the very beginning because I just knew that this love was something special I wanted to remember forever . Here is the 6yo me with my hand-crafted indian head piece lol:
If you were stranded on a deserted island,
what 3 things would you bring to keep on crafting?
A Polaroid camera, an unlimited supply of film and my hubby-I would have to improvise and use mother nature for adhesive, techniques and embellishments!
What gets your creative juices flowing?

Do you whistle while you work?
I most certainly do! I love to listen to things I can sing along to-by no means can I hold a note to save my life, however, I like to think so. Some of the things on my playlist include Adele, Sia and Mumford & Sons. Here is Adele’s Hometown Glory for you to take a listen:

What is your absolute most favourite product to work with?
I absolutely love to work with Kraft Cardstock! I just love the look and it’s so easy to work with almost any type of project!

Where do your creative messes flow?
I was in the bedroom and decided to convert that to my
Office/Study Corner, with classes coming up again I had to separate it all.
Now I craft in the dining room area-I have this ancient china cab’t from
my parents very first dinette set that hides all my goodies. The
bookcase is from Ikea and I have a bunch of stuffies organized in
my thrift shop baskets-can’t go wrong with thrift shopping!

It's not much, but it does the job and I love it!Here is one of my most favy creations that I am most proud of:
This is a LO I created for a class I taught at our LSS-I had a full house! 25 "student crafters" and it was definitely a success!
Are you a messy crafter or tidy?
I’m a messy crafter and then I tidy up after each creation and/ or technique
depending what I am up to-you never know what a mess some things can be lol.
Do you plan out your projects before starting or make it up as you go along?
I tend to do both. Sometimes when I have my own idea,
I grab a quick sketch or template to play around with displaying my pics on a LO.
Favourite craft manufacturer:
Anything by Crate Paper, Nikki Sivils, Basic Grey & Cosmo Cricket,
I honestly cannot pick just one!!!!!

I always find inspiration in the people I am following.
There is so much talent out there that inspires me daily-even when I can’t craft, I always peek!
I also love checking out WeHeartIt and Pintrest!
