For a long time now, probably since I moved out on my own, I have loved turning salvaged items and wood objects into something special. I started the shop just to have a creative outlet and love to get to know my visitors.
I spend my non-Etsy time as a wife and most importantly a Mama, to two exquisite little people! I spend the rest of my time as a Child Abuse Prevention Advocate as I'm the founder of Winged Hope Family Advocacy Foundation, a 501c3 non profit dedicated to child abuse and domestic violence awareness, prevention and treatment. Working to make positive change for the abused and neglected children of Arizona has been a part of my life, and my heart, for the last 20 years!
Because I deal with such heavy issues in my "real" life, I look to Etsy as a fun, fluffy outlet and make it a rule to only work with people who are kind and "easy"...no room for drama or difficult people here! :)
