About Me
I'm a 65 year old living in Toronto Canada. I started paper scrapping in the 1990s & switched to digital in the early 2000s.
I've been happily married for 35 years with 2 adult children. We have a married adult daughter & a late son. (He had multiple severe disabilities - nonverbal autism, severe intellectual disability, atypical bipolar disorder, epilepsy and was a XYY male. We lost him 5 years ago at age 25 to SUDEP - Sudden Death in EPilepsy). I consider him my greatest teacher. Graham's photo and memorial page are here: https://www.autismbrainnet.org/donor/graham-brown/ (The same photo and tribute are also on the North American SUDEP Registry Our Stories page which he shares with others. Graham's donation was a joint donation to both sets of researchers.)
I'm retired but originally a children's librarian (public library) and then a supply (substitute) teacher. My favourite classes to teach were kindergarten, grades 1-2, middle school and especially special education. I particularly liked teaching students with autism or intellectual disabilities or adhd or learning disabilities or who needed behavioural support.
My hobbies (other than digital scrapping and photography) are knitting, board gaming, reading, journaling especially bullet journals, fountain pens,listening to a wide variety of music, classic movies and foreign language films and cooking (low carb/keto now since it controls my Type 2 diabetes.) I have a big interest in history, geography and different cultures and read a lot in these areas. I mostly read nonfiction but I do enjoy science fiction and fantasy. My husband and I share our home with 3 rescue kitties.
I consider myself a beginner with scrapbook design and I am enjoying learning.

This mini kit is about one of my favourite beverages, masala chai. Masala Chai literally means "spiced tea" - "masala" means a spice mixture, "chai" is tea. Many of the elements and papers can also be used for layouts about other forms of chai or tea. Several items may even be used for coffee.
Authentic masala chai is a milky tea made from black tea leaves (not syrup) and spices and is usually sweetened. The most common spices used are cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and ginger although everyone has their own blend. (My son-in-law from India makes a great masala chai. In his part of India, the hot tea is poured back and forth between the tea cup and a small bowl to cool it.) Indians do not call it "chai tea" because that would be like saying "tea tea".)
This mini kit includes:
6 papers (3 patterned, 3 solids)
8 elements: 1 flair, 4 journalling/filler cards, 2 word art, 1 wooden cup icon
All items are not shadowed, shadows are for preview purposes only.
