2009-07-14T19:52:00.004-07:00

Currently residing in the great-white-north that is Minnesota for a time. Holed-up in the basement craft room. Working on a lovely commission or two, and doodling a while. Then, ohh look-out western' USA!

As soon as I purchase the scanner of my dreams (??) I will post my scraps for all to see and to question the necessity of. (If you have a recommendation for an affordable scan-on-nator, pleaseee suggest!)

Otherwise, please check out my Etsy: http://lindsaykmcminn.etsy.com or please enjoy the "Best of" and "Greatest Hits." ---V"
