birdhaven's Profile

Bio

I am also BirdHavenToo.etsy.com where I'll be selling my collage arts, a little bit of vintage and some vintage up-cycles.

I'm Bettie, a Work-At-Home-Mom. I have 3 children~ 2 teens in high school & a little one in Kindergarten.
My husband & I are originally from Florida, however his career in the U.S. Navy has enabled us to live in several different states throughout the years. Currently we live in Connecticut.

I enjoy all crafting and have dabbled in oil painting. I am an avid scrapbooker with a wonderful addiction to paper. However, I found myself with way too much paper for all of my scrapbooks. Since I also have a love for card-making, I decided I'd try to wittle away my paper stash by making lots of cards, tags and stationery sets. Etsy seemed like the perfect venue for me and I opened my shop in July 2008.

Charitable Donations~
I've always been an animal lover and at one point I even thought I'd be a veterinarian. Although I took a different path, my love for animals never went away. Because I feel that we all should help our furry, feathered, finned, and flippered friends, I will always donate at least 5% of ALL sales to an animal charity.

5% of my September through December sales will be donated to:
