I share a small house on a hill overlooking the Adirondack Mountains, with my husband, two sons, and Jasper, our Jack Russell. I\u2019ve been working for many years on the left side of my brain, teaching science, and now it\u2019s time to flex the right side and play creatively. As a child, I remember sitting out under a tree and drawing, so this crafting love started young. I am always excited to learn new ways to create and then experiment. Mixed media and art journaling are two of my favorites. I have recently discovered yoga and meditation to add to my interests of reading, gardening and travel. I am really excited to begin sharing my creative projects with you!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2779\" alt=\"birds600\" src=\"http:\/\/www.simonsaysstampblog.com\/mondaychallenge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2015\/06\/birds600.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simonsaysstampblog.com\/mondaychallenge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2015\/06\/birds600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.simonsaysstampblog.com\/mondaychallenge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2015\/06\/birds600-300x245.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Welcome Maura!
