My Twin Brother and Scripture Bags

Did you know I have a twin brother named Brent? He lives in Idaho! We have been separated by miles and living life, but I feel his connection. I'm just thinking about him today! He has been very good to me! I am older by 40 minutes-that is important to know! Don't ever try to take his scriptures, he will chase you down!

New to My Etsy Shop! A great gift for all ages, especially children turning eight! Custom designed to your specifications and size!

Bags can be embellished with polka dot ribbons and trims for younger ages! All bags are lined with 2-4 interior pockets.

Wishing you all a happy and bright sunshine day!

A Happy Valentines Sweet Treat

Secret Message
Inspired by fortune cookies, these non drippy cones let you send a secret message to your special someone. You'll need purchased sugar cones, meringue cookies and chocolate chips for the treat, and pretty paper for the secret message.

Choose Your Words
Print love fortunes on pretty paper and cut them into strips. Roll the note and tuck in the bottom of a cone. For an additional surprise, add Hersheys chocolate hugs and kiesses!

Inspired by Better Homes and Garden! You can find more sweet treats HERE!

Sew What's New?

New Spring and Summer Bags have arrived to my etsy shop! Welcome bright and vibrant colors with 4-5 coordianting fabrics in every bag! Along with Minnie Mouse and a lot of good cheer and FUN!

Cheers to all of you who visit my shop, send words of encouragement, and own one of my handmade bags! It's the wonderful feedback and smiles that keeps the sewing machine running strong!
I have really enjoyed etsy. It allows me the freedom of creative expression, but most of all I can work around my kids schedules! I do have more time to create now that my last one of six is in school. I have stayed at home with my children and feel blessed that I have been able to do that. It is a new season for me with mixed emotions of missing my little ones under my feet.
It took me a long time to get use to a quiet home for three hours. I didn't know if I would be able to focus, which sounds strange- I know.
I started doing etsy just for fun, mostly to see where it leads. I have loved creating for you and meeting all of you! It has led me to a strong desire to design more creations and pursue other adventures, which I am working on! Thank you! Stay tuned for more creations coming soon!

Have a happy creative day! Make your Monday HERE!
