i am a blogger...i blog

Let me introduce myself :)  My name is Erica.  First and foremost, I am a wife to my wonderful husband Mr. W, and a stay-at home mother to my three, amazing, young children, B (a son) age 8, L (a daughter) age 5, and C (a daughter) age three months.  Before I stayed home with my children...eight years ago... wow.., I was a fourth and fifth grade teacher. Around 7:30pm at night when my two school aged children have been tucked, snugly into bed and Baby C is content, I am allowed to pursue my creative interests as I transform into a crafter :)  For as long as I can remember, I have always enjoyed creating things.  The Internet, specifically the "blogworld" has been a great source of inspiration for my creative pursuits.  I have been able to create so many wonderful things by following many of the great tutorials that I have found on other people's blogs.  Most recently I was able to complete my first quilt of my own design from start to finish by following advice and tutorials in "blogland".  My hope in creating this blog is to share the success and failures of my creative pursuits and inspire others to have the confidence to pursue their own creative interests.
