Profile updated Sept 23, 2025

Hi! I'm Liz 👋🏼 I'm a late 30 something widow living in Metro Detroit with my 3 kids. I’m a real life Tina Belcher and I'm awkward AF. I live my life following a "just be a decent human" mentality. Love is my religion. I'm a hardcore artist and creator. I have to make something every day or I get really antsy. My creative fascinations are always changing though. My most recent favorite craft(s): intuitive art in journals I’ve handmade, watercolor florals & creating affirmation art with my hand lettering. I'd love if you added me on Instagram - liz.makes.things (link above) - I post a lot of my art there.

I WILL NOT FLAKE ON A SWAP! If you haven't received a swap from me, please message me before rating. If I ever have to send something late, I will always message you. **With that said, my husband died Dec 26, 2024, so I'm still getting a hang of life as a single mom. I will only be joining swaps that I don't foresee a problem to get out on time but I would really appreciate any grace if a situation arises where I'm not able to send on time. Again, I will ALWAYS message you and communicate this.

You can always count on me for Stars and Hearts. I throw those around like confetti! Everyone who takes the time to send something deserves them, in my opinion.
