Two sisters, one big ocean, a million ideas

This is the blog of two sisters who live on two opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean, Paola and Gabriella Vagnoli.

They grew up in a house were crafting was a family activity, thanks to a mum with a passion for coloring and painting and a dad with a knack for woodworking and “making things” in general. Now that the ocean is between them, they have found a way to share one of their passions through this blog: here you will find the creativity and the ideas, all you need is a printer, some scissors and some glue and you will be able to create (almost) anything!
