A Little Update About Me

Although I usually feature Etsy shops and my new product lines, I thought it was about time that I got around to giving you an update on me.

Well, I have been very busy designing new products and getting my name out there, which means that I have been spending a lot of time in chat, forums, and reinventing my shop.

I am also about half way through Graduate school! I begin student teaching my own Unit plan next week which is fantastic! My kids are all amazing... I love them! Of course they have their moments, but all kids do... I did!

My hubby is in the field for awhile so it is pretty quiet around the house.... it feels empty and I cannot wait until he gets back! Even if that means I have to do more laundry again! I miss him immensely! Needless to say, he is in the army so I am a member of the Homefront Team on Etsy... and those women and men are so supportive! My family has been a big support too! I stayed the first two nights with them so I did not have to be alone... and my mom, being an experienced military wife, was great to be around for a few days! I am so thankful for the people around me!

Well, that is it for now! I will try to do this more often for you all so that you can learn more about the person behind Art Whims.

Have a great weekend!!!

I have been chatting with sojourncuriosities for some time now in the ETSY chat rooms and absolutely love the personality of the designer and the beautiful items that she creates. Some of her most stunning recent work are pendants and necklaces named after fairy tale places such as Neverland and Atlantis. She also sells rings and earrings that are perfect for a unique gift!
