GUEST DT invite honoree: Marjeta!

profile: My name is Marjeta and I come from a small village in Slovenia. My heart beats for nature

and relaxing hikes, but my first and greatest love is creation. Since 2014, I’ve been inviting

you into my creative world on the blog Marjetina ustvarjalnica (Marjeta’s Creative

Workshop). Most of my time is dedicated to creating personalized greeting cards and

albums, through which I preserve memories and celebrate special moments. Besides paper

creations, I also enjoy knitting, sewing and sweet creations in kitchen – baking cakes.

Marjeta's captured a terrific masculine outdoor activity for her milestone birthday card. Thanks for creating a marvelous Guest DT project for FQGS!
