On a recent trip to Denver, Colorado my friends Stacey and Eric of Ink Tattoo invited my boyfriend and I to stop in and spend the afternoon with them. I accepted with great anticipation and could not wait to meet my Etsy friend in person for the first time.
Stacey and Eric set us up with two of their very talented artists to give us tattoos. I got a cross I've been wanting for several years, and Kevin got his arm tattoo touched up, and added to his back piece. We were both thrilled with the results!
After our tats were done, Stacey and Eric invited us to their house, where we ate and chatted, sharing stories and laughter and had a most fabulous time. They even showed us around their press, where they make shirts for InkWear. We got to see some of their shoes in progress, but those are not from a press. Each pair is unique and completely hand drawn, and they are absolutely amazing. I have a pair with orange lillies and every time I wear them, people must know where I got them.
I'm a single mother of two amazing little boys. Braeden tends to be engineer-minded and very curious about how things work and why things do what they do. Tanner is more like his mama, curious to an extent, but then content to go off and dance and be creative. He can often be found laying on the floor, usually in a quieter corner, drawing on a piece of paper.
I do etsy because I absolutely love paper-crafting and love the etsy community and artists and love being a small part of it.
In addition to that, I'm working toward my dream of being an author. You will see snippets of my writing here, along with news when it is appropriate to share about how writing projects are going.
Life is short, break the rules,
forgive quickly, kiss slowly,
love truly, laugh uncontrollably,
and never regret anything
that made you smile.
-Mark Twain
