About Me

I have to take a break from swap-bot but hope to be swapping again soon!

I am a Christian thirty-something, young at heart, geeky crafting Whovian. Married for less than a year, I've been crafting in some form or another since my pre-teens. My first and favorite being cross-stitching. My career has had an interesting road, but I've landed in the field of occupational therapy, where my craftiness has definitely come in handy. I love creating beautiful things for my home, for less than expected prices, especially holiday decorations. I also LOVE making gifts for my friends and family. Currently, my husband and I are parents to two cats, two parakeets, and a recently added puppy! We are planning on our family growing in the near future and I can't wait to see what crafty things I can do for and with my kids!

Favorite Crafts

Cross-stitching

Jewelry Making

Comment: Hi Marita! Thank you so much for the Easter Verse! I love the verse and your prayer. We are indeed so blessed to have had Jesus cancel our debts. Our Lord is so gracious. Blessings to you and your husband. I love that you read a prayer card before dinner every night. I am in some swaps that exchange Bible Verse Cards and I think that is a great idea for me to do too! :) Shannon
