My home fireplace needed a makeover! I took it from typical townhome style, to unique! My dad is a welder and loves creative projects, so we collaborated to make my one-of-a-kind surround. I also hid all of my family members names, including my own, in the design.

October 2015 - Us creative people have “issues” and thus can’t just make a boring treat, but need to make it fun and branded….I made "themed” candy coated popcorn for a Halloween treat for my fellow co-workers. One mix is grape and peach mango, themed as Pirate Popcorn. The other mix is cherry and blue raspberry lemonade, themed as Princess Popcorn. I made the shelf kiosk from an office paper box lid and foam core.

Handmade - leather cuff bracelets. These were made using leather "samples" from a home furnishings company. I cut the leather to my wrist size, freely painted designs, hammered the snaps & finished by hot-fixing Swarovski crystals.

Upcycled Men's Necktie to Cuff bracelet - Added brocade ribbon & hot-fixed Swarovski crystals. Velcro closure for ease of putting on and off, and adjusting to fit wrist size.

Ship Mate Cupcakes....I made pirate cupcakes for a United Way bake sale, created a label for packaging each cupcake individually in an upside down tupperware container.

Minnie Pie Cupcakes....I made mini pie cupcakes for a United Way bake sale, created a label for packaging each cupcake individually in an upside down tupperware container, with a play on words with Minnie/mini to create a theme.

I am all about "upgrading" and embellishing clothes! This was a Goodwill purchase that I upgraded with multiple embellishments and changed out all of the buttons to be mismatched.

$2 consignment shop clearance buy - enhanced with 2 men's ties added to the collar and cuffs. Swapped out all the buttons and added a few embellishments.

2015 Christmas gift for friends. Handmade bath fizzes, lotion bars, hand warmers and wash cloths with custom made packaging. I designed the labels in Illustrator, printed, and made into stickers, or cut and attached as a tag or wrap.

My craft fair booth circa 2006. I designed the entire display, creating a miniature mock-up of the display with tag board. Working with my father, we figured out all dimensions and made the display using wood. It is all a hinged system for easier transport.
