My Story

​

My crafting journey began with a love of art, colors, textures, and the joy of making something that brought beauty to my surroundings. From delicate cross-stitched to whimsical tole paintings, to custom painted furniture, I've explored and liked it all.

​

I was lucky enough to be a stay at home mom back then. But, when my two young children got to be school age I went into the workforce which left little time for crafting.  I worked many years in the insurance industry in Missouri, not my dream job. Until eleven years ago when we moved to Florida.

 

I was hired in the Floral and Gift Department at Disney World and spent my last seven years there making gift baskets.  I learned about the use of space, colors, and techniques, but mostly the constant attention to details. Easter, Halloween and Christmas were especially fun! Mickey and Minnie dressed in their holiday outfits were a highlight every year! Talk about a dream job!!

​

In 2022 I retired and was happy to be able to explore the craft world again. After considering the mediums I was interested in, I kept circling  back to wreaths. Making wreaths stole my heart and there’s something magical about weaving together vibrant colors and elegant designs that bring me such joy! I get to be creative and play with colorful ribbons again. I'm having so much fun!
