Small gift boxes are a great way to give jewelry items or gift cards. Make the wrapping part of the gift!

Lisa was raised at 20th and Plum - 20 miles from nowhere and Plum back in the sticks! (a.k.a. outside of a small town in central Missouri) There was one thing her Mom would not tolerate - kids saying, “I’m bored.” Mom’s response would be a stack of laundry to fold, dishes to wash, or anything else that was truly boring.

In quests for things to do, Lisa took advantage of being taught how to sew, embroidery, and crochet. Over the years, her interest in handwork has lead her to learn most home craftsman skills; however, she found a passion in paper filigree (quilling).

Lisa says, “I love designing my own patterns, creating learning videos, teach in-person classes, and an even stronger passion - recreating and sharing the heritage of paper filigree.”

As a wife, mother, Nana, daughter, church youth program assistant, and add to this mixture, a business owner, when people ask the ultimate question, “How do you find the time?” Lisa responds, “I’m never bored!”
