Hello! And welcome to the crazy world that is Me! I am a
Veteran of the US Army where I was in the medical field and hold degrees in
Chemistry, Accounting, and Business. Screams analytical doesn’t it? I am –
however, I am uniquely artistic and very crafty as well and have managed to
find a beautiful balance between numbers and art to create a very happy middle
ground. Ok, it’s more like a boat rocking from side to side causing me to be more
numbers one moment and the next completely disinterested in balancing bank
accounts and scrutinizing something and going “Ah, I like this – I can make
that”.
Really though, math and science are all around us and this
is how I make it work. If I know that the slope of a lawn is a particular
gradient in a given direction (Geometry), then the water will flow a certain
way (Physics), causing plants to grow at a certain rate (Botany), creating a
unique experience each time the sun shifts and dances off a hand painted
wishing well-made of reclaimed tires and scraps of wood. This is my version of
Paint by Numbers! I also have an ability, my husband might call it something
else, to see through a pile of trash to something new and beautiful!
My husband and I have three fabulous daughters and I am
going to need all the patience in the world to survive their teenage years but
they will step out in the world confident and with the ability to take care of
themselves. I will ensure that they can cook, clean, sew a button, and balance
a checkbook at the very minimum and do my best to impart an understanding of
hard work, dedication, and respect.
Until then, I invite you to join me on my journey to add A Touch of Magic back in the world as I teach my girls about responsibility and joy that comes from Building Homemade Dreams!
