About Me

Candra Holmes

I would say I have always been a "Crafty Girl" and discovered paper crafting when my husband and I were given the opportunity to live in Portland, OR for 5 years. We loved our Portland adventure but have happily been back on the west coast of Vancouver Island (BC, Canada) for several years now. We have a very bright, very busy boy and I am glad to say that both my husband and son are very supportive in my creative pursuits and have been known to bring me snacks when I get immersed in a project! Currently, I host several clubs/workshops a month which allows me to not only share my crafty girl creations but I get to visit while we create! My blog at www.paperdragonfleur.ca, pop on over and have a peek at what's being made, I look forward to creating with you!
