It was 3 AM one early morning, and I was nursing my son back to sleep. After he dozed, I couldn't fall asleep & began doing some crafts to try to tire my eyes. It happened over and over again. I was up at 3 AM crafting or looking on the computer for more ideas. Then I decided I might like to sell some of my things & etsy was born & so it was. When my second son was born I got a great camera & started shooting pictures of the kids together & playing.. and then we got hydrangeas & I tried the macro feature & was hooked. And here I am all these years still. Fooling around with my camera, crafts & playing with my kiddos. Nothing could be better!! I have finally put up my own Photography website, and am going to use my etsy as a shopping cart option for folks to pay me via. I will also be adding some handknit items here & also some of my baby lemon trees for sale too.
