I love the idea of creating things from scratch, it coincides with my desire to live a more sustainable life. Why go to the store when I can make it and have a fulfilling experience in the process?
When I start on a new project I have an idea in my mind of how that piece is going to look and by the time I am done it barely resembles my initial thoughts. What I have come to love about arts and crafts the most is the process in which I see my creativity take on a life of its own. I get excited to see how the project will emerge as a unique page from the book of my life. When I look back on things I have created I love to remember what was going on in my life during the those times. What season were we in? How old was I and how old were my children?
I currently live in the Spokane Valley and have since 1994. I have a wonderful husband and 4 equally wonderful children. I am the owner of Glisten Salon and Boutique. I graduated from Glen Dow Academy of Hair Design and received a Bachelor of Arts in business from Eastern Washington University.

Recycled Materials Raised Garden Container
This is raised bed garden container made entirely of recycled materials and hard work. I am going to plant an edible organic garden in it this year!
Recycled Magazine Page Earrings
I made these earrings from a recycled magazine page. Folding the page with a bone folder is helpful. It is also fun to find more colorful pages and see what type of pattern emerges once...

Re: Book Giveaway: Eco Craft: Recycle Recraft Restyle
Anything that I can get my hands on that has me live a more sustainable life is very exciting to me. Before I go to the store to buy something I always ask myself "Can I make that?" and a lot of the time it will turn into a fun arts and crafts project! I want this book!
