CraftyChic1970

I am a mother of 3 active kids (20yr. old daughter, 18 yr. old son, 11 yr. old son). I have only my 2 sons living with us at home & my daughter lives with my parents.

I am a stay-at-home mom due to a disorder I have been suffering from for almost 9 yrs. I just recently decided to start crafting. I love to sew and started making ATCs in 2008. I have been sewing since I was about 8yrs. old. All of my sewing back then was done by hand and I created my own outfits. Although my husband of 10 yrs. doesn't say much, I know he wants me to hurry up and use up all my fabric and other crafty supplies so that we can have more room in our house and garage.

My favorite crafts are sewing, making homecoming mums & garters for high school & colleges, and started dabbing on ATCs the last few years.

When it comes to sewing I sew purses, totebags, diaper bags, baby bibs & burp pads, aprons, and oven mitts.

I have made several mums & garters the last 8 yrs. I have made several mums for my daughter & garters for my sons. And last year I was able to make about 20 of them for local schools. I really love it!!

I started ATCs 2 yrs ago and WOW! These are great pieces of art. I love the vintage, victorian looks. The cutesy looks too! I also like the Asian looks, and anything that is golden or even the metallic look.

My favorite television shows are CSI-Miami, Law & Order-SVU, Law & Order-Criminal Intent, Criminal Minds, Without a Trace, NCIS

My favorite music is country. I like George Strait, Tracy Lawrence, Carrie Underwood, Trace Adkins.

I also like the 80's music......Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Billy Idol, etc.....
