Tell us more about yourself, your site, and your family. What motivated you to start ?Christy?s Cuties??
I have always been a creative person.? I love painting, decorating, sewing, crafting, just about anything to make something.? I started Christy?s Cuties because I had recently quit work to stay home with my three kids, and needed to find some form of communication to the outside world.? I love my kids, but at ages 8, 6, and 4 there are only so many times that you can talk about legos and paint toes.? Christy?s Cuties not only gave me something to take up nap time, but to also show my creations.? Everyone?s like ?that a girl?, right?
You love to scrapbook! Do you have any scrapbooking tips for our readers? Do you like to scrapbook with your kids?
I do love to scrapbook.? I love it because since I have three kids, it?s easy to forget certain points in their lives.? And life gets busy.? You will always see me with my camera.? I take it everywhere.? The best tip I have for scrapbooking is to keep your pictures organized.? It is so easy to forget which ones were taken first.? I like to transfer my pictures into designated folders on my computer as soon as we get home from having fun, then when I am ready to order more to scrapbook the pictures are all organized and I know which ones to start with.? I haven?t started scrapbooking with my kids yet.? My two oldest are boys, and could really care less at this point.? And my girl is still a little young.? I can?t wait until I am able to have a helper though.? It will be so much fun!
What are some of your favorite crafts you?ve blogged about?
My favorite craft I have blogged about with my kids is my daughter?s homemade art work for her room re-do. I love seeing the kid?s creative side.
I also love being able to make something, rather than buy it.? And, with the help of my mom, I made this Jute and Pearl Bracelet.
Last, but certainly not least, is my Coupon Binder that I made.? I love it, and I still smile every time I pull it out.
You?re a coupon fanatic! Where do you like to shop? Do you know of any places that have great deals?
I love to coupon.? As a family of 5, living on one income, I need to save money in every area that I am able to.? Couponing helps me do that.? Rite Aid is my favorite place to coupon for hygiene products.? Not only do they have great prices when coupons are paired with a sale, but they also have a rewards card program.? Kroger is my favorite place for groceries.? They allow you to use newspaper coupons, as well as, Kroger store coupons.? And the money you spend goes towards saving money on gas.? It?s a win, win in my book.
When you get the chance, how do you like to relax?
About once a year my sweet husband treats me to a massage at our local spa.? I am never more relaxed than when I am at the spa.? The calm, quiet, soothing music, dim lights, everything about it makes me relax. It?s only once a year, but I am okay with that.? God has blessed me with a family that I love, and I can relax when my kids are grown.
Can you give our readers some of your top crafting tips?
My top crafting tip is to just do it.? You will never know how good you are at something if you don?t try.? There are thousands of crafters out there, but there is plenty of room for everyone.? You are your own person, and you have a different style than anyone else.? If you make something that you don?t like, change it.? The more you use your creativity, the more it will grow and become better.
