About Rhianna

ROMEO: love. laugh. craft is a personal blog by Rhianna Claire. This blog basically consists of things that Rhianna loves, things that make her laugh, and things that she crafts.  Rhianna loves to makes crafts and is always trying new things to create. She is an (self proclaimed) expert at making decoupages.

Rhianna gets most of her inspirations from her very creative family. Her biggest influence is and always will be her mother.   She also gives credit to her 9th grade art teacher [who was a complete nut] for showing her that creativity was endless. Her 10th-12th grade art teacher taught her that talent was endless.

Rhianna lives and plays in New Orleans. In her spare time she loves to make jewelry for her Etsy shop: Romeo (click here to view it).

Why Romeo?  It is the name of her grandpa!
