So This is Julie
http://www.julietiu.com
This website was created to capture life’s moments, share some bits of cooking pleasures, and to record the occasional craft project that might inspire others… Julie Tiu has been crafting since she can remember, and owes it to her mom for teaching her how to make something out of anything. Maybe looking at things and saying, “I can do that…” is her innate Filipino thriftiness coming out.
