I love to craft and I love to shop and daily I’m faced with the decision of whether to DIY or buy. I am so blessed to have a mother that is oozing with creativity. Any bit of creativity I have ~ came from her!
When I was growing up, I could always count on her to make original, fabulous objects that no one else had. She was an orignial DIYer, y’all! BUT, that doesn’t mean she didn’t and doesn’t like to buy things, too. She also passed that along to me. {wink}
So, when Mother’s Day rolls around I get to decide: shop or craft?

Collection #1 ~ Lady in Red
This Lady in Red collection is inspired by mom. She has red hair, loves the color, and wears it often. Thus… the lady in red. {wink} She looks fabulous in the color, but more than that, whenever I see anything in a beautiful, shiny red color I think of my mom… because she’s beautiful and shiny. Inside and out.
Collection #2 ~ Beauty Must Haves
I just adore anything that lends itself to beautification, and that’s something my mom helped me appreciate. All of the items in this collection help soften the skin or make one look more beautiful with fun accessories and beauty products.
