Hi everyone, I’m Kim, and I live in northern Nevada. I am a mom to three, dog mom to two, wife to one...animal lover (with a very strong love and passion for dogs), vegetarian, teacher, crafter, and iced coffee obsessed.
You will see that most designs in my shop are meant to make you smile or laugh. I have always loved humor, but I discovered a new love for it when I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in 2006. With three young children at the time and being only in my early 30s, I needed something, anything to divert my attention away from the dark thoughts that would often occupy my mind in the beginning. I was down for the count during chemo and radiation and had many dates with our couch, watching (*only*) funny movies for most of the day. Laughing (and fighting to be here for my children of course) is what got me through those dark days.
My friends and family think I'm funny, so I run with it and continue to always look for ways to make others laugh too. Sometimes in life we have to laugh or we will cry, right? Laughter is better. :)
As for choosing to design and sell greeting cards, I have always loved cards. Growing up in the 70s and 80s, my mom and I would go shopping and I would ask if I could go look at the cards in the greeting card aisle (with her nearby of course). So I guess my love for cards started then! In our tech happy world, I realize that not everyone is on board with sending cards rather than texts, but I know too, that there *are* others out there like myself, that think there is and always will be something very special about giving a loved one a thoughtful card that they can actually hold in their hands, and enjoy a meaningful hand written note inside.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments or special requests. This is my full-time “job” (in quotes because I still can't believe sometimes that I get paid for doing what I LOVE to do!!). I typically have a very quick response time to messages, unless I am sleeping or driving. ;)
Thank you for visiting my shop!!!
