Hi! My name is Lauren and I have designed and created all of the handmade crafts that you see here on my Flickr page. Many of my original creations are inspired by video games as I have loved to play games since I can remember!

I am engaged to the love of my life, Paul. He inspires me and helps me design many of my crafts. We love to travel together as much as possible, whether it be to another country or just a road trip for the day.

I also love listening to music and creating my own music, mostly in the style of instrumental post-rock/experimental. I am a classically-trained pianist, and I also play the guitar, bass, and clarinet.

I have been a vegetarian for my entire life and I love to grow my own veggies & make new recipes. I love coffee, chocolate, curry, and Japanese cuisine. I also love to exercise and do yoga.

I also love to collect postcards, mainly through the website, Postcrossing!
