I have always had a love for working with wood. I remember visiting my Grandfather and helping him in his shop restoring and making furniture for the local Amish community just outside Mercer, PA. Then as I got older, when he would visit us I would help with things like building the barn we had in Mississippi. Then in school, while all the other girls were taking Home Economics, well I took shop. Of course, I was the only girl in the class, but I didn't care...because I loved it! Now years later after some time of hibernating and recovering from a major accident 6 years ago, I have been slowly getting back into doing what I love. I hope my sharing gives others the inspiration to peruse their dreams, make a one of a kind piece they love, or just put a smile on someones face. Live, Laugh & Love..and most importantly....never ever give up on your dreams!
