Welcome

Well, I'm here at last!! An official Blogger!! I'm finally catching up to the rest of the world!! But I'm super excited to get started and share my passion for crafting!! It all started about a year ago when my husband got his hours cut at work, and we needed some extra cash to help make ends meet. Being a busy mother of five little ones, I had no interest in leaving my home to work, so I decided to turn my hobby into a part time career. I have always loved to make wood crafts, and have been doing them for about the past 15yrs. So I decided to share my passion, and began to teach monthly craft classes. The demand was more than I expected, and classes were often so full that I had to add extra's, so now I offer weekly classes. I have also set up a little store out of my home, and sell already finished projects. People are always stopping by for a quick wedding gift, or birthday gift, even a baby shower gift!! The support has been amazing, and the extra income a blessing. I have taken the summer off this year to re-group and make some amazing memories with my kids, but will be posting new projects as I get them completed. My craft classes will resume again in September, 2010. If you want to purchase anything from my blog - just send me your order, along with your mailing address, and I will send you a shipping quote. If that price agrees with you, and you want to proceed with the transaction, I will send you a paypal invoice for the full amount. Once the invoice is paid in full, your item will be shipped out. I use Canada Post as it's the cheapest way to send stuff out. If you are in a hurry to get something, email me and I can get a quote thru fedex or ups.

The tall long skinny O Canada sign is $30, the O Canada blocks are $20, the small Canadian Flag is $30, and the large primative Canadian Flag is $55. All projects are stained with an oil based stain to make them waterproof, and can be hung inside or outdoors.

HOME blocks

WELCOME BLOCKS

Flower Planters





The small flower planters are $20 each, and the large Burgundy planter is $50.00. You have your choice of colors for these projects too!!

SUMMER BLOCKS


The cost of the Summer blocks is $17.00, and they can be made in any color scheme you desire. Just email me your colors and I'll get them made up for you.

GARDEN STAKES










The pictures don't actually show these as stakes, but they are!! I just got so excited to photograph them, that I forgot to actually add the stakes on first!! Anyway, they all come as actual garden stakes. The cost of each stake is $8.00. I actually have a few more made up that aren't shown here - like: zucchinni, beets, watermelon, honeydew, cantaloupe, and some herbs like: thyme, garlic, parsley, oregano, and rosemary. Of course I can custom make you anything, so if I don't have it listed here, just email me what you need and I'll be happy to make it for you.

So here is what I do

I just want to share with you some of my most recent craft projects. All the projects I make are for sale. Just email me your address and postal code and color choices, and I can give you an exact shipping price. I only charge exact shipping. Nothing bugs me more than when I go to buy something from some of those auction sites, and they end up overcharging me on postage!! Grrrr!! So rest assured, I will never charge you more than it costs me to mail it out to you!! Because each project is made especially for you, I will need a couple of days to get it made before it will be mailed out.
