Hi, I'm Ellen Govaerts and the owner of Craft-Wiki. I'm 34 years old and living in Belgium, the country of beer, waffles and chocolate.

I have been crafting since I was about 10 or so, and never really stopped. Of course, like every hobby, I had my intense and less intense moments, but paper has always had a special place in my heart.

When I started a webshop in 2016, I learned even more about new products and how to use them. After three years I realised that the most fun part for me was keeping up with new products, testing them out, figuring out how to get the most out of them and putting all of that information on my webshop for my customers (and visitors).

Now that my webshop has closed (due to a lack of free time, since I ran the shop as a side business next to my full time job), my free time will again go to this lovely hobby. And to this new project, Craft-Wiki: a website that aims to list most commonly used products, materials, terminology … in the paper crafting world.

I try to stay as objective as possible, but make sure to read the Disclaimer about the contents of this website.
