Howdy!  And welcome!

My name is Angela.  It means Messenger of God.  And on this journey of life, I strive to live up to it.

 The Hubs – his name is Damon.  I apologize in advance for any crazy comments he may leave on my posts.  :)  He is my best friend.   He was brave enough to take me on; a single mother with two crazy kids, without even the smallest of stumbles.  He is my tower of strength, my listening ear, and I absolutely adore every single thing about him!!

  There they are.  My three.

AJ – my first born.  He has taught me to be brave.  He inspires me to work harder.

Alycia – my girl.  She has taught me to ‘come to light’.  She inspires me to be more out-going.

Jude – my baby.  He has taught me more about being compassionate.  He inspires me to give.

I can’t even begin to tell you the number of emotions that rumble through me when I look at them.  They test me and stretch me and push me into situations I have no desire to be in.  And I’m a better person because of it.  <3

P.S. – you will see a lot of pictures of Jude in his pjs.  Why get dressed when our mission is to stay home and craft??  :)

Always have been.  And when I say all things, it’s true.  I never know what is going to capture my attention next.. and I love that!  I think its fun to explore and learn new things!  However, home decor is what has got my heart the most.  Not that I’m a designer.  I’m not.  In fact, I read blogs to help me out in that department.  But.. I do enjoy hunting down furniture and accessories, and waiting for inspiration to hit!

A few (more than a few, actually) years ago.. I sanded down a mirror I bought at a yard sale, and felt like I was removing layers of my melancholy self.  Even though I have enjoyed making things forever,  I learned then that my thoughts were much more clear and melodious when my mind was engrossed in a project.  I loved being able to create as I mused on.  And I still process thoughts best that way.

As I write, and share my life and creative ideas, I hope to inspire you.  To try.  To believe in yourself.  To think outside the box.  To be a better person.  To enjoy life.  Cause my journey is about kicking fear in the face and living a happy life, doing what I love to do.

  Join me as I muse and create and ramble along.
