About Us

Andy and I met on a blind date in Dec. 2005. One of my 7th grade students was his neice, and she set us up. Go figure. We saw each other every day after that! We were engaged by June and married in September of 2006. In January, 2008, we welcomed little Ethan into our home, and in August, 2010, little Addison arrived.

Andy is a diesel mechanic at Kennecott. I taught middle school science for ten years, and am now an evidence-based learning specialist for a school district.

One mans trash is another mans treasure just waiting to be refinished

I am in LOVE with the DI lately.  I've found all sorts of great items that I can use as bones for craft projects.  Last time I went I spotted this lamp for $2.00.  I wasn't sure if it worked our not, so I was super happy when I got home and plugged it in and there was light!  
I knew I wanted to put this in Addy's room, so I spray painted the base white, and then hot glued ribbon onto the shade.  It turned out super cute and really only took me about 30 minutes to make.  I LOVE IT!
