I'm located in the tiny country town of Berry, KY Where the hills roll as far as you can see. Its the best life. So , peaceful. I'm able to walk outside my house and look in either direction and see the beauty of nature at any given time. It's my kind of PERFECT. My little family and I love it.
Being a Mother of 2 beautiful redheaded children will always be my #1WHY in life!
On March 6th 2020, my everyday life changed. I had become unemployed for the 1st time since I was 15 years old. I though I had it all planned out, however I did not. I intended on spending the Spring and Summer with the kids and find a different job in the Fall when they returned to school.
We all know Covid happened and virtual learning became a thing for a very long time. Which meant This Mom was gonna have to be home full time, with them. I had never been a stay at home Mom. Life was very different.
However in the time we had in the spring and summer of 2020 I found that creative side my Sister always sore I had, and I told her she was crazy lol I had time to redecorate almost every room in my house. Learned I loved gardening, just never had the time to keep them alive before. Painted, done some DIY with the kids. Found that I really loved crafting and it is so relaxing.
Fast forward to late September, stubbled upon this out spoken, humorous, caring man making a wreath on a FB LIVE. Thought heck I think I can make a wreath. Read the comments in many more lives that I continued to watch, and realized this Man done this for a living! I was intrigued. That led to a video of a woman that was so dang hilarious, Down to earth, shared her life's ups and downs with her audience, and compared everything to food. An she reminded me so much of my Mom. These were my people! I knew I could get along with them, and they could teach me many things.
Made my 1st wreath in October 2020 posted it on FB and it sold. Bought more supplies, SOLD...ETC. OK, I think I'm on to something here. So, I invested in myself joined Tammy's troops for business coaching. Opened my Etsy shop mid October, not knowing what this would really mean for myself and my family.
I really enjoy designing wreaths and centerpieces helping people make their homes beautiful and welcoming. However, my true passion shortly became designing cemetery floral arrangements. Someone local to my area asked me to make a headstone saddle for her Momma. I thought well I can give it a try. Little did I know the feelings an emotions that were about to come over me, were going to give me a new WHY!
I learned about death at a young age, experienced many losses of friends and family. But at the age of 21 I lost both of my parents just 3 months and 5 days apart. That changed me and my life forever. Its been 12 years and that pain and grief is still there. However, I vowed 12 years ago to always try to continue to make my parents proud of me. As I knew they would continue to watch me, but from above. THEY ARE MY #2WHY A year and a half later I became a Mom. They would be proud.
The feeling I got making this cemetery arrangement, for someone that was always grieving and trying to cope with the loss of their loved one was indescribable. That day I decided I would continue to make cemetery floral arrangements, after a good cry an a heart to heart with God out in my "She Shed".
I knew I had found something to help others cope, grieve and make their loved ones final resting place beautiful. This would be my #3rdwhy
I've helped others decorate and bring joy to their homes. Those like myself cope and show love to their passed on loved ones by making their loved ones final resting place beautiful. All while being able to be a stay at home Mom, while making a honest living.
This friends was not easy, its been a lot of work, long hours, countless tears , but its been the best thing for my family and I. I will forever be thankful.
