What is your hidden talent?

I love making things homemade! Whether it’s cooking, baking, knitting, sewing, refinishing furniture- I love any kind of DIY project!

What punctuation mark would you be and why?

An exclamation point! It conveys energy and excitement. A well-placed exclamation point can change the tone of a sentence and raise the stakes.

What's your favorite way to spend a Sunday afternoon?

Working on one of my many crafting projects while something delicious simmers on the stove!
