My name is Carrianne Banul. I own a pet sitting business and spend most of my days with animals. In between caring for pets, you’ll usually find me in my craft room creating handmade cards. When I’m not crafting, I enjoy spending time with my family, whether it’s camping trips or other fun adventures.
