Gardening, wood working, thrifting, traveling, four wheeling, and cooking

In my spare time, I cherish every moment spent with my loving family. I am blessed with a wonderful husband of 25 years and two amazing kids who have grown into beautiful young adults. Additionally, I am a proud grandmother of two precious grandbabies. Whenever I have some free time, I enjoy repurposing furniture and upcycling thrift store finds to create unique and functional pieces for home decor. I also love to showcase and sell my creations on Shopify, which has been a fulfilling and profitable venture. Woodworking is another one of my passions, as I find joy in shaping and crafting raw wood into beautiful pieces that can be admired and used in the home.
