I am a SAHM of three children though we are definitely not your typical family. We have a 20 year old daughter, a 14 year old son, and a 20 month old baby boy who was the surprise that we never knew we wanted! Yes, life is different than we thought it would be a couple of years ago but we have been blessed many times over by having him in our little family. I used to teach elementary school for years when my older children were small so I am really enjoying the time I get to spend at home with my youngest.

I am a Starbucks fanatic and have to have my Venti Mocha Lite Frappuccino every day to function!

I have always loved to make things. Most recently I have been very involved in the paper crafting industry, working for scrapbook manufacturers and teaching lots of classes in scrapbooking, card making, stamping, etc. Throughout my life though I have done just about every craft you can think of including cross stitch, quilting, tole painting, knitting, photography, and many others. I kind of consider myself an expert in any of the aisles of Joann's or Michaels. :)

Currently I am obsessed with fabric and have been making young girls clothing for my Etsy shop. I am throughly enjoying the process and love making things that you can use. I am also making purses and totes.

I am a people person and love to help so please stop by and say hi!
