| Introduction | After my daughters wedding last fall I found myself with an abundance of ideas in my head that I had no time to act on during the wedding planning process... So after it was all over, I came home with a need to do it all again, maybe just for someone else this time. One thing we had a hard time finding was a simple way to gift our favors... which was a large bottle of dry barbeque rub. We ended up buying the wrapping paper and I made the gift tags which were a punched out "Thank you". That ended up being an exausting task for the quantity we needed. I have since smartened up and gotten an electronic paper cutter, which allows me to make pretty much a gazillion shapes, flowers, characters, letters, sentiments, in pretty much any size. I also have party box options in so many adorable sizes and shapes... strawberry shapes, triangle shapes, cake slice shapes, regular square box shapes, and little bag shapes, or just a candy bar wrapper in your theme. Email me and we can come up with something custom for your party. |
| Interests | My work... which is being an RN in a busy hospital that cares for some really wonderful people in really bad situations. It's a great job, but emotionally leaves me feeling colorless sometimes. Which is one reason why paper crafting and making party favors is such a blast for me on my off days. Can't get enough of looking for new products in the field and searching for new techniques on embossing, glittering, (yes there are ways... many ways... to glitter!) etc. It's a whole world of crafts I didn't even know existed, but now that I do it's hard for me to leave it and get anything else done. |
| Favorite books | True stories are the only kind of reading that grab my interest. But if I have time to sit and just read, I really prefer to make something with my hands... like a whole grain banana bread or a dozen gift boxes, or a butterfly mobile (so cute.) |
