Hi! I’m Antonia. I reside in sunny, Scottsdale, AZ with my boyfriend Nate and our three furkids. By day I work as an Instructional Media Designer for an airline, by night I am a grad student majoring in Aeronautical Science. During the times in between, I am a creative machine. I paint, scrapbook, craft and almost everything in between. I’m all about handmade goodness :)

I also run an artsy/crafty blog and an Etsy Shop, both named Green Horned Unicorn. You may have noticed a few of my goodies when I sponsored the challenge back in January!

I’d like to thank Julie for inviting me to play along this month! I’m looking forward to seeing all the fun creations for these challenges :)
