I'm a creative go-getter and organizational freak.

 

I have a loving husband, a monster truck fournager, and a beautiful baby girl who keep me on my toes.

 

When I'm not in front of a computer or crafting you can find me enjoying the great outdoors; hunting, fishing, running or playing sand volleyball.
