Meet Denise Matsuoka

"I love to travel. I recently purchased a small flat in Italy with 2 friends. The town has medieval and Roman roots and our building was originally built in the 1600s. Other favorite destinations have been South Africa, Victoria Falls in Zambia, Highclere Castle (aka Downton Abbey), and Provence in the South of France. 

Another passion is visiting (and hiking in) our national parks. My favorite so far: Denali. I'm not afraid of a craft project so when I find time at home I will be attempting to make ornaments, cards, hats, quilts, and whatever Instagram thinks I need to try."
