Introduction to you:
I am a wife and stay at home mommy of two
little girls. We live in beautiful Bonney Lake, WA. We have two
cats and one wiener dog who are very much part of our family. I have
always loved to create since I can remember. I attended college and
received my degree in Business Administration and never knew how the two would
come together. I am blown away that I’m able to have an outlet to create
every day, and that it has been an income to support our family and allow me to
stay home with my girls. I’ve leaned a lot on the education I received in
business administration in running my shop. It is just so neat to see how
God worked those together!

How did you choose your shop name?
After my girls, they are my “busy bees” and
“chickadees” J
What does a typical day look like for you?
Wake up early, check my convos, get my girls
up and my oldest ready for school, drop her off at school, and then I have a
two hour window where my youngest naps and I can get a lot accomplished. And
just continuing working on jewelry here and there as I have spare
moments. I’ve learned it has helped to block out time where every other
day I do all my shipping and packaging and then the off days, create!

If you could be anywhere in the world for one day, where would it be?
That is a tough one! There are so many
countries I want to visit! I probably would say I would like to have tea
in a quaint shop in a little English coastal town.
What is your favorite Bible verse?
John 15:4-5 “Abide in Me, and I in you. As
the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither
can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who
abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do
nothing.” That is my life verse!

What is your favorite Etsy item listing to
feature?
That is also a tough question! Each item I
create has a personal story behind it, so it’s hard to choose one item.
But I would say my lockets are probably my favorites. Many customers share what
the piece means to them and that is truly special to hear their stories. It is
humbling to make something that can bring a bit of encouragement or a reminder
of a special relationship or occasion.

We are so proud of you and all that you have accomplished in your life. Life has not been easy for you and your family but you have always bounced back and found a way to create something positive when confronted with a negative. Take care and God bless. Dad
Lovely feature about a successful shop. I loved the angel kiss bit. Precious.
Such a pleasure to have browsed your shop for this post. Thanks for sharing your story with us all, Heather!
