The Story of ME....let me take you from the beginning.

ahem.

In western Pennsylvania, there was a small dark haired child born to a red-headed mama and an Italian daddy. This child blossomed, grew, drove her parents crazy, and generally would attack most any project as if she could not fail. Growing up, she drew the skills of a craftswoman from her mama and the joy of stubborn persistence from her daddy. She was happy.

Eventually this child grew to a teenager, then to an woman with a love and passion for all things art. However, this child was no stranger to reality and decided to purse a career in pediatric nursing so she could buy food. (She liked to eat.) Oftentimes she would sketch and doodle an idea in her sketchbook and pray for a chance to rekindle her love for the art once again.

Although this woman loved her life, knew she was loved by Jesus and cherished by many, she began to feel rather boxed in, like she was stuck. Then about 6 months ago, Jesus in his ultimate wisdom and kindness reached down and whispered into her ear, "What if....?"

"What if you actually made what you drew, created what you love and had faith in me to step out where you've always dreamed of going?"

The woman could not believe her ears, but she could believe the Lord, so she started to make what she saw in her head, create the before unimagined and generally just had a bunch of fun messing around with scraps of everything. The motto? "I can do that!"

Then, mere weeks ago, she felt the whisper, "It's time." So, with a slightly quivering lip and a joy filled heart, she stepped out into the unknown and started her Etsy shop.

As you all know, that woman is me and I feel incredibly lucky to be where I am at in my life. I owe all I am, do and create to the Lord. He is the ultimate artist, the lover of my soul, my best friend, and the One who knows how to do everything. Amazing. He is the one that I trust and the one whom I lay it down to every night. I give up control to Him and let Him work.

I am never disappointed.
