"UGot2BDazzled"

 A couple of months ago my sister put some of the flowers that I have made in her salon. They were a huge hit and a few people suggested that I get an etsy account. So that is what I did. I have spent the last month or so creating an etsy account to sell the things that I have been making. It has not been the easiest thing I have to admit. It is quite time consuming but the hardest part was coming up with a name. Everything I tried was taken. Dave saw the work bedazzled in a book that we had recently read and that is how we came up with "UGot2BDazzled." (after a few tries with the word "bedazzled")

I have always liked to make different kinds of things. It started when Tristyn was a baby and I learned how to make bows. She had a bow for every outfit. Then I took a few cake decorating classes but that was making me gain too much weight so I moved on. From there I started scrapbooking, making jewelry, stenciling, and vinyl lettering almost anything. I am the type of person that when I see something I like, I find out how to make it and do it myself.  I have what I would call an "illness." (a few of them actually) but this is the one I am talking about today. I am sure you will learn about the other ones some other day.

It has been quite fun to look at other people's accounts and see how creative everyone is throughout the world. I know that I am just a small fish in the humongous sea out there, but I am doing what I love to do while trying to stay "sane" in the Summer heat of Arizona.

Here are a few of my newest things that I have made.
