Introducing Our Guest Contributor
I am super excited to introduce our guest contributor today! Some of you may have guessed who it is but if you haven’t, I am pleased to announce that… (drum roll please) my Mom will be joining us!!
For those of you who don’t know, my Mom’s name is Sheri and she is super awesome! You can read more about her here. It’s going to be nice having another contributor around here because although we like a lot of the same things, we definitely have our own styles so now you will get a broader range of ideas. But, I must confess, you will definitely still get to witness the power of spray paint because we both are firm believers in it!
Now for a little bit of background info. A few years ago my parents sold almost everything they had (including their home and business) in Oregon in order to move to Brazil. So far, they have been unable to get a permanent visa so they bought a house here in Tennessee (just 1.5 miles from me!) and live here for about 6 months out of the year and the other 6 months in Brazil. I have been super blessed to have them out here with me since I thought when we moved here 4.5 years ago that I wouldn’t have the opportunity to live near them again. We have been making the most of our time together doing what we love, projects, thrifting, decorating, you name it. And now we get to share it all with you! Plus, the business that they owned in Oregon for 30+ years was a cabinet shop and so my Dad can make just about anything with wood. Just wait until you see all that they have been up to! The house they bought here was in need of a lot of work and they have been putting a bunch of love into it so there are lots of projects to share.
Here is a picture of my Mom and Dad from a couple of years ago so you can know who is behind the posts:
Sheri will be posting a little bit later today so make sure to comment on her first post and give her lots of blog love!
Hello, and welcome to my little blog! What started out as a blog to show some of my scrapbook pages ended up being a blog that shows all of my projects, ranging from scrapbooking to decorating to sewing to photography. I also run a little online shop called

Yay!!! I totally thought so! Super excited, we welcome Sheri wholeheartedly!
In other news, do you guys know how to make those large tissue paper flowers or have you seen them on Amy Atlas? Planning to make some for Beths 18th party! Ok love you both!
I knew it! I can’t wait:) The Lord is so good! I love that he moved your parents over there to be with you guys, it is so good to hear the story again. But I do miss you all so much! I can’t wait to see all of the new projects, secretly hoping there is one from your mom about a certain ‘tricky’ wall;)
Kristen, I haven’t seen the tissue paper flowers myself but that sounds like a Kellie thing! So, Kellie, what do you say?!
Thanks for the comments you two. Love you both!
Your mom is awesome, Kellie! It’s fun to see the creative “gene” run through the generations. You both have great taste and amazing resourcefulness. I’m going to love seeing what both of you come up with….and now I have a place to ask for advice too. Yeaaah! I’m cheering BOTH of you on!
