I was featured on Elizabeth's Building Bridges Marketing Blog last summer, and I was thrilled when she invited me to be a contributing author!
A little about myself:
I'm a 26 year old (almost 27!) southern girl from North Carolina. I grew up in a big family & spent my childhood playing sports and the saxophone in marching band. I am now married to a wonderful man. We will be celebrating our 5th anniversary in March! We currently live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. We have no children, but I consider my little Etsy shop to be my baby!
Ever since I was a little girl, I loved crafting. I always made cards for my parents, drew pictures to hang on the refrigerator, and smeared my mother's make-up all over rocks to make them "pretty" (yes, I really did that...). Whatever the project was, I always had fun & let my creativity run wild!
My Shop
I opened up my shop in early 2012. I make yarn wreaths that are decorated with felt flowers. I also make fun clothespin magnets! I LOVE what I do, which is why I named my shop: Lovey Dovey Shop! I started making wreaths years ago to give as Christmas gifts. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to do research & watch tutorials to make better wreaths. I also discovered clothespin magnets through a DIY tutorial. I experimented with several ideas & absolutely loved making them!
I discovered Etsy & I decided to give it a try! I worked a full time job, so I didn't really have a lot of time to put into the shop. In late 2013, I decided that I wanted to buckle down & get a lot more serious about my business. I started to put in a lot more time into my shop & things definitely improved! I am proud of where I am today! It's been a fun journey so far. I have learned SO much over the years, and I continue to learn more!
What to expect from me!
I am super excited to be a contributing author to the Hiding Place Boutique Blog. I look forward to sharing so many things with you! I want to share some crafting tutorials & fun ideas, as well as shop updates!
I have lots of other interests too! I love to cook, bake, go shopping, watch movies, and go sight-seeing! So be on a lookout for some recipes, shopping tips, and pictures of places I love to visit!
Also, don't be surprised to see some Pinterest finds on here too...I am obsessed with Pinterest (I mean, who isn't?). I'm also an avid coffee drinker, so don't be surprised to find a blog post about how much I love coffee! LOL Okay, I probably won't write about how much I love coffee, but you get the idea, right?
Alright y'all! I hope you enjoyed my first blog post! It is super late here, so I am going to call it a night!
Thank you for reading & you are MORE than welcome to visit my shop & follow me on Instagram & Facebook
XOXO
