About Me
About Me
- Shell
- Snohomish, WA, United States
- Menopausal, insomniatic, romantic, left handed,right brained & more than likely a bit ADD. Mother of two whom have left the nest. I live in a little 90 something bungalow in a Historic district, with a heck of a commute to work (3blocks, all down hill.!! Share my cozy home with 4 critters.Two dogs-Golden Retriever and Black lab & two Tuxedo kitties. They see fit to let me decorate however I choose and never question what's in the bags I bring home-unless it appears to be edible or squeaky. The whole blog/art thingy started kind of by accident a couple years ago-it has just grown exponentially!Love it ALL,,women I've met, and trying new things! Not getting rich selling my creations, but again, it has grown exponentially and I have product in several shops in Washington-Too fun! NOT doing Etsy right now, BUT if you see something you like, let me know, Happy to make something special. Thanks for stopping by! Shell
