Live~
Hi Ya'll! I'm a mom/wife/teacher/artist/creator from a small town outside of Ft. Worth, Texas! I love to wear many hats!! I have been creating since I was a small girl with my mom & grandmother. Luckily my daughter Lexi has the same passion for creating! In real life~ I teach 1st grade! I love seeing the spark in a 6 year olds eyes when they realize they can read for the 1st time! It is very similiar to the spark I see in other ladies eyes when they realize they really are creative and enjoy the process of bringing something artistic to life! When I'm not being a mom, wife, daughter, teacher or artist you will find me enjoying my small towns Friday night Football Games and traveling to new and exciting Art Events!
Craft~
I would call my style of crafting as Shabby Chic! I love pinks, creames & anything Covered in Glitter! I love to create mixed media art, scrapbook & stamping projects & jewelry! I love Vintage~~ I enjoy the hunt of finding that something perfect as well as remaking it!! Anything that comes within my reach is subject to being altered!!! Creating makes me so happy~~~ I have to do something creative every day!
Inspire~
I love inspiring others with new techniques and ideas! It is so much fun to see someone get excited when they create something new and finish a project! I love to host Art Events and see women from all walks of life join together to create, giggle and just have a great time!

Since I was a little girl~ I have loved going to the State Fair of Texas! I've passed this love on to Lexi!! My favorite part of the day is grazing... love the corny dogs, Texas shaped nachos & cotton candy! I also love the Creative Arts Building!
Last year I decided to enter a few Artsy Crafty items into the fair... I got 2 Honorable Mentions!
This year I decided to enter.. I think 15 items!! I actually placed with 9 items this year.. Very exciting!!! :)
It totally gives me an excuse to "Have" to go to the Fair!! Not that I really need an excuse... it is a yearly tradition!
Here are some of my projects.....

The Happy Birthday Memory Book!

All the books will be created with a variety of papers to create unique on of a kind books, you will have choices in colors of papers, if you want it to complement your crown~ I will have creme papers out as well! You will be provided many embellishements for your book~ candles, ballerina, domino decor, and lots more. You will need to bring the bling for the cover (rhinestone crown not included.)

The Happy Birthday Crown!

Happy Birthday Mini ARt EvEnt!

September is a month of Birthday's in our home! It begins on the 4th with my Grandfather's, the 10th is MiNe (and this year is a biggie), the 19th Grandad's, the 29th Jake's & the 30th ((the most important of all....)) Lexi's!! September is a month to just CELEBRATE!!
So... I thought what better way to CELEBRATE than to have a day of creating and a day of shopping! My two favorite things to do!
A MiNi ARt EveNt for you to join in on!!
September 16th & 17th
On Friday we will meet … for some of the best outdoor scenic adventure filled shopping in Texas~ Where the motto is~ “Have fun~ Life if not a “Dress Rehearsal”~ This is it!! I have some great shopping spots picked out for us to visit and we will wander around the rest of the time! We will have Lunch together during the day! Price of lunch not included. ((Optional of course! But oh.. so fun!))

On Saturday We will create a Birthday Crown , Wand & Birthday memory book! The Crown is one of my favorites!! We will create with a gorgeous creme colored paper crown..., We will add layers of lace, a variety of trim, delicate creme vintage buttons, feathers, maribu, lace & paper flowers and a bit of bling. A simple but elegant wand to match and a fun filled eclectic vintage inspired Birthday memory book! You will create some wonderful birthday decor items to use for years to come and the book will hold all those special birthday memory photos.
((Photos of projects to follow beginning tomorrow morning!))

Price for the day:
$63.00 for Saturday’s 3 projects, a fun Covered In Glitter bag & lunch. Saturday's classes will be held in Aledo at my home decked out in Birthday decor.
Registration will be limited.

Christmas is still in the Air... creating for an upcoming project!

I decided I simply must begin using my "Good Stuff!" I've been shopping and collecting lots of new laces, trims and embellishements lately! Now I will begin to use them! I'm also using my Gilded Stash that I have put up.... Love the result of using the good stuff :)
xoxo, Happy Creating! Remember use your good stuff... Life is the real deal...no dress rehearsal!
