Hello! I'm Sonia, Chilean by birth, translator by profession and maker of pretty things by sheer enthusiasm.

THE STORY
As a child, I loved paper crafts. I particularly enjoyed making paper houses for my Barbie dolls, which included everything from furniture to kitchen appliances and even to vehicles. If our printer was out of paper you could always blame me. Those were good days.

And now, 20-something years later I have re-discovered paper crafts, only this time I like to believe my skills are better than those of a five-year-old and, what's really important, now I buy my own paper.

Thanks to the help of my wonderful husband – who happens to be a professional graphic designer and not a self-proclaimed one like myself – I now move around the world of graphic design software with a certain ease and comfort. He has been kind enough to teach me the basics and walk me through more advanced techniques I needed to create my stuff. I just love to learn.

THE CREATIVE PROCESS
Creating a new item is always an exciting adventure. This is especially true with my paper sets for children. I envision a scene and take note of the essential elements it must include, always leaving room for extras.

All of my products are things I love. A perfectionist by nature, I take my time to make them as simple, pretty and interesting as I would expect from an item I'd be willing to pay for myself. Oh, and my prices follow that same logic.

THE SHIPPING ISSUE
Because I live at the end of the world where the term "snail mail" really acquires a meaning and where postal rates would make any potential buyer want to run and hide, I currently offer my products in digital form. You receive them quickly and, what's even better, I can deliver them to any part of the world for free!
