My name is Simone and I'm a stay-at-home mom of a 8 year old boy and a 6 year old girl.
Before kids, I had a “real” job in the finance industry, working long hours and traveling most of the time. When my son was born in 2007, I was lucky to be able to quit my job and stay at home with him full time.
I started my business, Masterpieces of Fun Art, in early 2008 and it was quite by accident. One day I was shopping with a friend and she picked up a bow, showed it to me and said “I bet you could make this” and that’s how this whole thing started. I went to a craft store the next day, bought some ribbon and clips and started making bows.
I have loved to make things for as long as I can remember and I’ve always wanted to own my own business so I started Masterpieces of Fun Art and opened my Etsy shop. This is pretty much a dream come true for me because I get to spend lots of time with my kids and be an entrepreneur. Everything you see in my Etsy shop is made my me – usually when my kids are at school or sleeping – and I also take the photos, write the product descriptions, pack the orders and do everything else it takes to run my business.
I hope you enjoy looking through my Etsy shop just as much as I enjoy making everything you see in it!
