Hello Everyone!
Being crafty must have been woven into my fabric from when I was a child. When I was younger I didn't have elaborate toys, so I had to become pretty creative to entertain myself. I used to create different things with anything I could find. I would create random cards, boxes, and decorations from things you could find around the house (thank you Abuelita!!). Anytime it was someone’s birthday, or just because, I would seek basic paper, glue, leaves, dried flowers, plastics canvas, or old magazines and create something personalized for that special person.
Somewhere along the way of being a child and pursuing my goals, my creative side was put on hold. About 9 years ago with the birth of my oldest child, I quickly realized that I needed that outlet as the life of a researcher, wife, and mother [of 2 beautiful energetic kind and loving daughters] needed a retrieve. Thus, I started making simple things here and there for friends and family, and eventually started posting "stuff" on Etsy after the encouragement I had receive. So long story short, this is where the name of my Etsy shop came about.
Hobbies from the Heart is now not only a hobby of mine but a small business that can serve any one in need of everyday wear accessories and personalized paper goods. This satisfy my craving for being crafty/creative, while brining some extra income to help me pay for student loans. Pretty good, right?
If you have any questions, need additional information, or want something personalized, just contact me and I can craft something special for you. I would love to help out in any way I can.
Have a lovely day! (Que tengas un bonito dia!)
Thanks,
Marianne <3
