I am this, and I am that.

Creative by nature, I am a helper and a doer and a unique artist that loves to make others feel special. While my business is centered around paper-crafting and unique custom designs, I love to try ANYTHING that gets the creativity flowing!

I began Nalu Nalu This & That after 12 years as a stay-at-home mom, previous caretaker of a sick parent, and former corporate worker that had no desire to return to the office, but needed a thing to do. My passion for creating led me to crafting…which led me to creating for others who love handmade things.

Nalu is the Hawaiian word for wave…and Nalu Nalu is symbolic of my two sons, who are the driving, forceful waves that are behind everything I do. This and That is because I am not always this, and I am not always that. I do not want a title. I do not want to be one thing. I want to be able to create and share whatever inspires me. It doesn’t matter what size I am, what my contents are, or what I choose to be…because I don’t have to fit into a tidy little box to be shipped. I can be THIS. Or I can choose to be THAT.

I hope that you will join me on my journey of blogging about creativity and mom life…join me on my socials to see what I create…join me on my lives to create alongside me or chat about things. I hope that you feel inspired and can find the same joy in what I do!
