Hey you! I’m Ashley and Thursday is my day!
I want to start by
saying how excited I am to start this new venture with four of my very best
friends. These ladies are real GEMS and they are beyond inspirational. When we
get together, there are always plenty of laughs and craftgasms!! - nothing dirty! just ‘ooohs!’
and ‘ahhhs!’ about crafting, paper, techniques and pretty things; usually
followed by extreme excitement, a mutual brainstorming of ideas about future
projects, and a strong urge to buy more supplies... yes! It’s real! - So
needless to say, these girls are just amazing and they have each played a part
in the blossoming of my creativity. (Thanks ladies! Love you!)
Now a little about me…
Ever since I was a child, I have been infatuated with colors
and crafts. I once tried to steal crayons from pre-k, but didn’t even make it
to the door before they started falling out of my undies – hey, it seemed like a great
hiding spot at the time- but my thievery was obvious. Now that I’m grown
up, I no longer have the urge to steal crayons but the craft obsession remains.
I am twenty-two years old. In May, I will have been married
for four years… Oh my! The H and I do not have any children, or any
thoughts of children at the moment, but we do have one pretty stinking cute
English Bulldog that is spoiled like a child. We recently moved from San Diego
to a small little Texas town… and we just purchased our first home! So you can
expect to see some renovation posts in the near future.
Some of the things I love are home décor, vintage things, road
trips, revamping furniture, watching sunsets (and that golden hour before),
dresses, fortune cookies, peacocks, antique stores, mountains, being warm, french toast, spray paint, the
beach, glitter, chirping birds, writing in cursive, houses, photography, ribbon,
papercrafts, building things, cooking, thrift shopping, kittens, and - every now and then- surrounding myself with nothing but nature
and meditating.
Three letters that define me are D.I. Y. I love being able
to work with my hands! I would much
rather refurbish a piece of furniture from craigslist than buy something that
is mass produced and made of particle board. I find such joy in creating
something from nothing or making something more beautiful. I also find joy in
the details. Where there is detail, there is time and love.
I am so excited about next week and all the weeks after on
Mon Ami Createry when we all start sharing some of the things we enjoy and do… I
foresee many craftgasms in the near future!
See you next Thursday,
Ashley
