About Me
Thank you for taking a minute to learn a little about me. I suppose I should start with the most important thing, I am a 33 year old stay at home mom of two amazing little girls (ages 1 and 4). My husband and I will be celebrating our tenth wedding anniversary this year, and I must add a special thank you to him for being so patient with me and not complaining about the ever growing amount of ornaments and ornament making supplies in our house! We are both originally from NC but we are currently living in VA.
I first started making ornaments about 10 years ago, it was the first Christmas after being married and we did not have a lot of decorations so I decided to make some. Being someone who loves the holidays and thinks the more decorations the better, I quickly fell in love with making ornaments. I made several different types early on, from painted glass to intricate dough ornaments and had begun selling them at local craft shows. At that time we lived in SC while my husband was finishing school. When we decided to start a family I made the decision to put ornament making on hold for a while. As you other stay home moms will know, being home all day with little ones does not leave much time for crafting.
Well, several years and two girls later I decided it was time to get back to ornament making. After much debating (with myself) I decided to go for it and do what I really wanted- start my own website! Then I decided I would make my quilted ornaments for the site and Ornament Boutique was born. I truly love making these ornaments, it is peaceful, relaxing, and rewarding to sit down and create something unique. And I have to admit picking out fabrics and ribbons and planning the different designs has become quite addictive too.
Thank you again for visiting and I hope you will enjoy my ornaments as much as I do!
