Welcome to all things Handmade!

I'm a mom of 2 small girls, a Stampin' UP! demonstrator, and I love all things handmade! Most of what I make is focused on my kids and my home and preserving the memories that we make everyday. There is no limit to my crafting capabilities (or shall I say, no limit to what I will attempt to be capable of) and I love to share what I make!

Welcome!

I'm happy to share my obsession for crafting with you! I don't use the word obsession lightly. I am that person that walks down an aisle in the store saying "I love that! I can make that!" or "I love that color combination!". Yep, that's me snapping a photo of something so I can attempt to figure out how to make it myself or use the colors in my next project.

My girls are my inspiration for a lot of my crafting exploits. I made all of my baby shower invitations, thank you notes, and birth announcements for both kids. I made a lamp for the nursery. I've made dozens of clips and bows for their hair and a butterfly mobile for my older daughter's new "big girl" room. That's just the beginning. There's the brag books for grandparents and the scrapbook pages documenting their first trips to the zoo, their first times trick or treating, and the rest of the adorable things that little kids do.

Then there are the cakes. Yes, I decorate cakes too. Kids cakes, birthday cakes, anniversary cakes, all different sorts of cakes. Fondant, gumpaste, buttercream... all handmade.

Some of the crafting, ok, ALL of the crafting starts off as a way to save money. It just so happens though, that I love to do it and get obsessed with it. So, yes, I have lots of finished projects sitting in my craft room that I think I am going to try to sell. Eventually, I will link up to my Esty page. If I ever get around to making one.
