Greetings!
I'm so glad you've found your way to my shop. My name is Jamie and I'm a star-gazing, animal-loving, halloween obsessed, creative kind of gal. I am also a small business owner, avid crafter, and a university student.
My passions include creative expression, animal welfare, and psychology. I am currently finishing a Bachelors Degree in Psychology with a minor in Visual Arts. I have also studied Fine Art and Animal Care at college. As you can see, continuous learning is a force that drives me. You could say I am an information junkie!
My favorite creative outlets include (but aren't limited to) photography, crafts (paper, candle making, etc), printmaking and sculpture.
I devote a lot of time to my rescue animals - I have 3 dogs (my fuzzy babies) and a turtle. They, along with the love of my life, often steal my attention away from other tasks (but I don't mind).
If you have been following me online for any amount of time, I am sure you have come to realize that I absolutely love Halloween. It is by far my favorite holiday and extends its reach into my home decor, my small business, and even my wardrobe. My favorite movie is The Nightmare Before Christmas. I also have a soft spot for cheesy 80s movies.
Something else a few of you may have picked up on is that I have Ankylosing Spondylitis. I am a self-staring optimist that helps me cope and keep going in the face of chronic pain. Life is too short not to try to enjoy each and every day.
I love networking with other like-minded people. Contact me if you see a bit of yourself in this bio.
I offer a monthly update for fans of my work. In this monthly update I like to share current pictures of my studio (including works in progress), coupon codes, and my random adventures. If you're interested see my blog for a quick sign up, or check out this link to get more information: http://tiny.cc/sbd
I hope you're finding a way to be creative, or support creativity each and everyday. Take care,
-Jamie Sabot

This is a picture taken for a Christmas card a few years ago. This is before we had our hound mix, Sassy. In this picture is Princess on my left, and Noel on my right. Both of these beautiful dogs are rescue dogs. Animal welfare is a cause that's very close to my heart and I'm so thankful to have my "furry babies" in my life
This was my Christmas card from 2008. As you can see we have the newest member of our furry family, Sassy, in the picture.
This picture was taken in 2009 during the spring. I couldn't help but show off how darn cute my man is (lol). We make make a perfect pair, even if my complexion looks ghostly next to him :)
Here's a look at my studio! The first 3 pictures were taken right after we moved and I hadn't yet unpacked everything. The bottom right picture if after I did some unpacking and I added some "me" to the window. You can see more of my studio pictures on flickr, or get the latest ones by joining my mailing list.
