Crafty Is My Middlename

 
My wonderful husband Terry and Kayla



My greatest creations are my kids



Hello, and welcome to my blog. My name is Lara and I am  happily married and a mother of three. My husband Terry and children Kayla, Josh, and Jonah are my inspiration. I love making crafts and creations and I have been asked how I make my creations so I decided to post a blog.

Well how I got started in crafting was with decoupaging keepsake plates for family members then I slowly added new ideas and trades over the years. I truly believe that there is a God given talent in each of us that is trying to shine through and  I would like to share some craft creations and how-to tutorials as well as anything crafty that I have picked up or tried. I hope you find inspiration to create beauty and that your God given talents shine into the lives of the people you touch. I make creations God has gifted me in making and if there is anything that you would like to learn how to do I would be happy to help.

 Why the name? One of my passions is working with people with various disabilities and one of the individuals gave me this name last Tuesday,  March 19th, 2013 and it just stuck with me cause it totally describes me. At my work I am known for my crafts. I am asked to make various crafts for my co-workers and my individuals as well as their family. Every year I spend my time making corsages and boutonnieres for their home coming/prom dance. This event is a HUGE deal and they get all glitz and glamoured up. My corsages and boutonnieres are just a small part that goes into carrying out this night full of memories and I am delighted to be a part of it! I also have been asked to make diaper cakes and other keepsakes for co-workers who are expecting that little bundle of joy, getting married, or going through a tough time in life.

 I LOVE crafting. It is one of the things I do to keep sanity in this world we live in with all the changes. It is something I am passionate about and I would love to use my gifts and talents that God gave me rather than to keep them to myself.
