Hi, I’m Crystal.

I consider myself to be a creative person (not just because my imposter syndrome would never tolerate calling myself an artist) as I love to write, paint, graphic design, and craft. I’m a middle-aged mom (according to at least one person on the internet) and if you couldn’t tell already by the title of this site or the overuse of parentheticals, I am a millennial.

If you like what you see or read here then I thank you for your time!
