My name is Sam. I cook/craft to maintain sanity from my full-time job (which is in health administration). This blog is for my friends/family who have been extremely supportive of my (excessive) DIY habits. They've encouraged me to think I'm deserving enough share my recipes/how-to's with others.

(3) I lack the precision and patience to perfectly wrap a present.
