About Me!

I am what I call an "excited sharer". Whenever I find something new or create something that I consider fantastic, I need to share it with someone. My mother takes the brunt of most of my sharings. Lucky mom! I have created this blog to document some of my projects, with a how-to tutorial for my future self, or anyone else that cares to stop by.

 About Me....

Let's see here, I'm a Sagittarius, love long walks on the beach and chocolate... oh wait, this isn't supposed to be that kind of description.

I am a mother of two boys. My second kiddo was just born in December. He happens to be a good sleeper, meaning that I have time on my maternity leave to do all the things on my if-I-have-time-I'll-create/learn/make-(fill in the blank) list.  In the past month I've learned how to use my serger, embroidery machine and have completed, what seems like, a zillion fun projects.

This year we hosted his bus themed party at the local library. I saw other libraries have birthday packages including story time; ours only offers a large space for a small fee. But, hey, I can play librarian story-time reader for a party! (Note the below contains some affiliated links, some FREEBIES, and other direct links to tools or service sites.
