Thanks Mom!

I'm not passionate about a lot of things, but two things I absolutely love are scrapbooking and sewing. For Christmas this year, I made a few handmade gifts...not as many as I would have liked, but I have a 3 month old and a crazy almost 3 year old. As I was sewing my many gifts, I paused to think what I would do if I did not know how to sew. It is something I love to do and I am always so excited to pick out fabrics and try new patterns. I only learned to sew 2 years ago when my parents came down to visit us in Simi Valley. I wanted to make a diaper bag for Amy, so my mom brought down her old machine and she spent a few hours teaching me the basics. I was hooked! Ever since then I have slowly started to learn more and create fun things for friends and family. I have now selfishly taken over the spare room and turned it into my craft room. My parents bought me a craft table from Ikea and a craft organization center. I love it!! I am an organization freak so it has been so nice to have a place for everything and not have to clean up the dining room table after each day of scrapbooking...I can just leave everything out. So, all this to say I owe all my fun creations to my mom . Thanks mom!
