Inspiration of being a Home Maker

 Now that you all know the passion I have in being a wife and a keeper of my home, let me give you a deeper look at the kind of person I am when it comes to creativity!

My love for crafts began not too long ago! I grew up watching my mom make her home into something you can see out of a Country Cottage magazine! Her secret? A love for her home and a passion for making it into a beauty that when people walk in, they literally stop at the entrance and gasp, "How quaint and lovely it is in here! It reminds me of something out of a movie!". Growing up I watched my mom and her creative flow, but I never knew I had it or even desired to try it out until I turned about 25! After I got married, it was if the Lord opened up the windows of Heaven and poured over me a desire and passion for making things with my hand to beautify my home!

 I get inspiration from the surroundings of my upbringing...

I'm a county girl. I grew up in the mountains, FAR from the nearest town (a 20 minute drive down the mountain just to get some milk!), a lot of my life was appreciating the beauty of God's creation, I was home schooled from kindergarten all the way to Senior High School, so I had a lot of time to be a thoughtful individual with no peer pressure and a lot of time to enjoy what my surroundings gave me... Creativity!

If you step into my home you will immediately feel as if you are in a cozy cabin out in the country, though my husband and I live in an apartment in a small little town, majority of what is in my home is either hand me downs (furniture) or hand made... by me.

I am also inspired by this country that I love! I am ever so grateful for those who served in the military who fought and died to preserve our freedom! My mothers 2 uncles fought and died in combat during World War II, one was a Sergeant in the Army and another was in the Navy. 

I love the country and I love anything to do with it! 

Also, can we say, the best inspiration to get online is... ta-ta-ta-daaaaa... PINTEREST!!!! Thank you, Jesus for Pinterest! That's all I gotta say!!! :)

Also, I need to give a shout out to my husband! He also inspires me, with his calm and peaceful personality, I married a man who also adores the country and who also has amazing ideas and has a passion to be creative as well! I love you my darling, you make our Home a place of peace, joy and you always make me think! :)

He is the one who not only encourages me in my creativity in making our home a dream to dwell in, but who inspired me to make a blog!

So this is another "introduction" to what inspires me! 

God bless all who have read this!
