Dee is based in Dorchester and loves paper crafting! 

Dee says "Like most of the crafters I also started with a shoe box and now I have my own craft room. I love spending time there. Even when I don't have any orders to do, I just sit there and look at pretty papers and inks and will have a little play, it's very therapeutic for me. "
