I grew up in Southern California in a great town called Mission Viejo :)
I took a sewing class in Junior high and didn't sew for another 10ish years after that... My Mom bought all of my sisters and I sewing machines for Christmas in 2005... I decided to bust it out and practice on it in 2009....and I still feel like a beginner!!!
My main reason for creating this blog is to track all the crafty stuff I create (or copycat!). I also love the blogging thing because it's so easy to track all the other wonderful blogs that are out there, plus to share in creativity with others.
I married my college sweetheart! He's in the USAF and temporary stationed in Aviano Italy... It's great fun living in Italy, and it's nice to be here for a few years so we can travel at leisurely pace instead of trying to do a break our back trip of Europe (which I did with my sister after college... ugh!). Now that I have been here for close to a year, I do have to say that I miss the convenience of the states, as well as the hospitality of people there... Italy is (obviously) a different culture -- you don't really get the friendly neighborhood nod here from folks... I am grateful for my American friends I have met here :)
Deanna is my 17month old and is so much fun!!! She is talking and walking and shaking it up around here :) I have had so much fun being a mother and am so grateful to stay home and watch her grow up... watching her daily is amazing! I am pregnant right now as we speak with another GIRL!!! I am due at the end of May. We can't wait to welcome our new little bambina. Don and I have decided that two bundles of love will complete our family... so that's us!
I am a big fan of Dave Ramsey and am applying his debt snowball in our lives and seeing true progress! Really excited to see the progress :) I am enjoying getting crafty as often as possible!
