My blog’s name, Little Journey, has multiple meanings. First, when I was a kid, my younger sister couldn’t say ‘Janet’ and she would call me ‘Journey’. So, to my immediate family, I’m known as Journey. I also realized that my crafting evolves and expands with each little journey in life. There has been a crafting evolution for me which began many years ago when I was in the “Busy Bee” 4-H club in elementary school. Then there was college sorority life, to living on my own, to making gifts for others, wedding planning and now kid & family crafts.
These days I have a little more time on my hands. Until recently I had spent the last 13 years working for a large consulting company, as well as a large baking and snack company {doing project management, change management, organization effectiveness and training & development. blah, blah, blah)… } As much as I hated it, my job along with many other people’s jobs was lost due to foreclosure. If you ‘Wonder’ what company this was, I won’t take you long to figure it out. Any SuziQ or DingDong who likes bread or snack cakes will know right away. J I’m lucky because I have decided to view this change as a gift and I get to spend it with two amazing little kiddos.
With my extra time at home, I decided I needed to start a crafting journal so that I could remember the many projects I’ve tackled over the years. I figured the easiest way for me to document and share this information was to post it online. I'm hopeful that maybe someone else out there may benefit from a project or two that I've done, just as I've learned from so many others out there.
The next journey is to offer some of my items to others. I’ve had family and friends ask me to make gifts for them so I’ve decided to offer some items, as time permits, on Etsy. You can find my offerings at http://littlejourneydesigns.etsy.com
Thanks for taking the time to look at my site and feel free to share my ideas with others.
