A Little About Me: My Journey in Crafting and Life
Welcome to my corner of the internet! As I embark on this blogging adventure, I want to take a moment to introduce myself. I promise it’ll be interesting—at least I hope so!
I’m a, still young, woman navigating life with two adult sons and no grandchildren (yet!). By day, I work at a multi-campus university on the East Coast, where I train Financial Aid Advisors on the intricate dance of regulations, policies, and procedures.
Crafting has always been my escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. My passion began back in elementary school when I attended the Girls Club. From sewing to baking to art projects, those classes ignited a love for creativity that has stayed with me. As an adult, my trusty sewing machine and a treasure trove of craft supplies have been constant companions.
A game-changer in my crafting journey was when my fiancé gifted me a Cricut in 2017. Suddenly, I had the magical ability to create beautiful wedding décor, and the love for crafting grew exponentially. (Just to be clear, Cricut isn’t paying me to say this—maybe one day!)
My husband is my partner in crime, and I couldn’t be happier with the life we’ve built together since our marriage in 2018. We have an interesting backstory; we met as kids, drifted apart for nearly 18 years, and then found our way back to each other in 2016. It’s been a wonderful journey so far!
And then there are our fur-babies. My life wouldn’t be the same without them! I’ve had many dogs through the years, and while I’ve had to say goodbye to some, each has a special place in my heart. Right now, we have a Rottweiler and two adorable Pitt Bulls. They shower us with so much love—I often joke that their affection is the most aggressive thing about them. Just look at these sweet faces!
From left to right, we have Kaiser, Harley, and Chopper.
While showing off these beauties, I will also show you my grand-dog, Bear.
Now, isn’t he just adorable!
Another huge part of my heart belongs to my wonderful nieces and nephews. I can’t talk about them without showcasing the two youngest! Each of my sisters welcomed their third child after their older kids were already in middle or high school, making them the babies of the family right now.
Meet Everett, my youngest nephew and potentially the last new addition to the family (unless my brother has a surprise up his sleeve, HAHA)!
Then there’s my best buddy, Ryker. I adore this guy, and it warms my heart that my fur-babies love him too! Here’s Kaiser sharing a moment with him, plus a picture of Harley and Chopper for some extra cuteness.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me a bit better. I’m excited to share more about my crafting projects, life adventures, and everything in between. Cheers to new beginnings!
