We have been happily married almost 10 years and I am so grateful for this man in my life.
He is probably the kindest person I have ever met and makes me feel loved and cherished every single day! I am pretty crazy about him too!
Also a Mommy's girl.
I actually started this blog because I have always loved to write. And create. And laugh. And I love Jesus. So I smooshed them all together and voila...this blog.
But as the girls have grown, I have been seeing how this blog is evolving more into a craft blog. I love looking back from the beginning and seeing how much has changed. I got a better camera. My photography skills have improved and I have actually found a certain niche with crafts. It has been a pleasant surprise.
But I also have found that as much as I love to be transparent and real about my life, I would like to keep a certain element of my family life private. Those 3 people are my heart and everything to me. I want to be careful about how much is out there about my family...especially my little pinks.
So here's some info...
What do I do? I am a proud Stay at Home Mom. I have never really been able to commit to a career since I never really knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. I have a degree in Human Resources (boooorrrrrring) with a concentration in Business. In my previous life I worked in Staffing and Recruiting. Then I switched gears and worked in the fitness industry and met my husband. Then I was a dog trainer. Seriously. Then I had my own business as Resume Writer and Interview Coach. Then I became a mom. And it stuck. Finally a career I am proud of and will hopefully have an eternal impact. I also craft for a local magazine in the Tampa, Florida area and I am contracted monthly to make small favor gifts for a friend of mine each holiday. Crafting keeps me busy!
Why Two Shades of Pink? Well, the obvious. I have 2 daughters who are are so amazing. They are blessings straight from God and I adore them with everything in me. Plus, pink is my favorite color. Which is something I would have denied since I did not know I was a girly girl until I was in my mid twenties. But I have embraced it and I run with it!

What camera do I use?
What kind of crafts do I make and share? I love all crafts but my crafting obsession is anything with fabric, felt, yarn, and paper. I am a self taught sewer, I want so much to use my sewing machine like a pro but we tend to argue with each other. I am obsessed with collecting yarn yet I don't crochet or knit. I love anything that has to do with flowers, organization, decorating, parties, tablescapes, and garlands. Oh, garlands...how I adore you.
Hmmm...what else? I love birds. A lot. But not real ones. Stripes! On everything! I love coffee almost passionately but I stopped drinking it because it caused anxiety. I miss it every moment of every day. I love being outdoors, reading books that make me laugh out loud, dancing around my house when no one is home, and I read home decor, fashion and crafty magazines a little too much.
I am also a deeply changed woman since going through my infertility journey that brought my oldest and youngest daughter to me at the same time. As we adopted our oldest, I became pregnant with our youngest. You can read all about it here.

I can honestly tell you that I am amazed at all the wonderful and creative people I have become friends with in blog land. People truly inspire me. And I am truly blessed that you have come to visit me and want to learn a little bit more about me.
