I’ve recently opened the BTD Shop and I’m so excited to be able to offer you some of my handmade creations and gifts! I think you will especially love the beautiful and thoughtful Everything Pouches product line that have such positive and inspiring quotes on them. (pssst! they are also perfect for gift giving too!).
From our Shop
What our customers had to say about our canvas makeup bags / everything pouches:
“…This bag is the perfect size to keep my 5×7 sketchbook and a variety of pens and pencils in. The canvas is sturdy and of good quality…”

Cricut Crafts & Tutorials
From small quick and easy crafts to larger projects, I love creating whether it’s for myself or to give as a gift. My most favorite time of the year is Thanksgiving through Christmas. So you will always find holiday crafts sprinkled throughout the BTD Blog.

COOKING + BAKING
It’s true that the way to a happy heart is through cooking and baking. Take a look at some of the delicious recipes I’ve created and if you make them let me know what you think. I’d love to hear your thoughts!

EASE: super easy to make!
PROS: Not only is it delicious it’s healthy too!
