Howdy! My name is Carissa and I live in a sunny suburb of Denver, CO, USA. I’m a domestic engineer that loves to read. My husband stays at home to work because of COVID, but my son recently returned to elementary school full-time. We also have an old lady kitty. She’s my fur-baby.
Any glitter needs to be affixed so it does not leave the surface. My husband despises glitter. I actually don’t like Halloween puns, but I DO love Valentine puns. Weird, right?
I don’t have allergies, although pure wool can get itchy.

Today it snowed so much that school was cancelled!
