ABOUT ME
I am a follower of Jesus Christ and know that without HIM, I am NOTHING. I live in the Pacific NW with my sweet hubby of 20 years, two very fun teenagers and our little dappled dachshund. I have always loved making things, but after I became a mom myself, I found that I enjoyed crafting gifts EVEN more. There is so much excitement in starting with a few details and bringing it all together…especially when textured paper and ribbon are involved! Growing up in Europe as the child of missionaries to the military, I watched my mom create amazing things with what she had. Most things were handmade. It is the skills I learned from her that I use in all my creative endeavors. I love making simple gifts that have a story, a memory or a special meaning. Recycling and repurposing as much as possible and finding a great bargain are on the list of my favorite things! Most of my days are filled with taking care of my family…avoiding laundry at all costs {except for laundry day which is my Mundane Monday!}, taking meals to people, entertaining and being extremely grateful to God for every day of life.
Come along with me
