Cris was propelled into a new chapter in life when she accepted the challenge to care for a parent. Unbeknownst to her, the challenge presented unforeseen consequences that moved her to practice journaling. Her long-time love for books specifically, and paper in particularly, stoked her interest in creating journals. An avid tea drinker and gardener, she began growing and studying a wide variety of herbs. From this combination of interests the company Paper & Herbs emerged.
Cris lives with her dog Chill and is surrounded by loving family. She loves reading, writing, sewing, theater, music, all bodies of water and long drives. She likes adventure, has an appetite for learning, and possesses a do-it-yourself attitude. She is just an extraordinary girl in an ordinary world.
