Happily rooted in the Denver Metro area in Colorado. Married to the love of my life Ryan and I am lucky enough to be a step-mom to our amazing, funny and totally hippie daughter Natalie who is 12. We have been going through fertility treatments for the last 4 years and I really feel like this is our year, hopefully we will be blessed with a Baby Fuentez soon =) My Mom also lives with us she has her own little basement apartment, we are getting ready to start a huge project scanning all of our old photos and putting them into albums - it is a daunting task but it will be so fun to spend quality time together and it will be so gratifying when it is all done!

I'm a total Craftaholic - but what I really mean is I spend an absurd amount of time sourcing, collecting and organizing craft supplies - which is why I'm here lol.

I used to be obsessed with scrapbooking, I still enjoy it I just never seem to get around to doing it more than once a year or so.

My most recent favorite craft hobby is junk journaling. I love collecting goodies from the thrift, the craft store, bits cutout from old books and random other pieces of anything that catches my eye and then pulling together a layout from all the different mixed media. My favorite theme for my junk journal pages is space/galaxy - I actually have a separate book for space layouts.

Pretty much anything crafty - I can do it or I've tried it. I especially love making home decor from Dollar Tree items that you would never know was from Dollar Tree

I absolutely love thrifting and decorating my home. I originally went to college for interior design and it is still a huge passion of mine. Nothing makes me happier than creating an eclectic homie space for my family with all of my special finds from thrifting, garage sales etc.
