I've been painting, drawing, gluing, cutting, sewing and generally making "stuff" ever since I can remember. My parents always wondered where I got my creativity from because they were not artistic at all. My husband lovingly calls me "Elf".

I've been crafting a selling my wares off and on for over 30 years, although always part-time. I've mostly sold through local shows, friends, family, and co-workers, and have now opened up to the online world. I had another website for a few years, and in January of 2012, decided to move to Etsy!

While I always like to try new things, I always gravitate towards snowmen, my favorite Christmas/Holiday related character. Everything here is entirely handcrafted and brought to life by my hands. You should be a fly on the wall of my craft room. I giggle and laugh out loud a lot, as I put the finishing touches on my creations.

After years of making "other's" designs, I am finally spreading my wings and creating my own original designs. Just you wait and see.....they're gonna be FUN!

Check out my Facebook page where I post photos of works in process, and information about upcoming shows in the South:
