These first few post, I hope, will get me moving in the right direction to decide the evolution of my crafting and projects into a business. For the first little while I will be using a form of “free writing” to get some thoughts aligned. Thank you to all of you who have visited and will continue to visit. Feel free to leave comments as I would appreciate any and all help. Any thought could be helpful and will be very appreciated.

My name is Kimberly Castner and I was born on November 1, 1966. A Halloween/ Samhain baby and that makes me 48 yrs old. I have six children and six grandchildren and various other extended family as I love nothing better than taking care of people.
Currently, I am working for one of the “Big, Bad Retailers” four days a week. I went to this work schedule after having been an Assistant Manager for 10 years. I wanted a break! And I wanted time to play with my crafting toys.
I always thought that the crafts I did were just a hobby. I realized over the years that the hardest times I had were the times that I could not craft. There is a need in me to create.
Over the years I would work at one of my “projects” a little at a time after the kid and husband were taken care of and thought of this as “Me Time”. When I wasn’t able to craft and play with my toys I was happier. So, now that I know that I am hoping to figure out which direction to take.
I have crafted all of my life and would really love to turn this hobby/vocation into something that can not only give me a creative outlet but also an income that will support my family.
