Hello! I’m Vicki, the mom half of Canary Street Crafts. I have been married to my husband, Doug, for 36 years and counting. I jokingly tell him he’s stuck with me now, or we’re stuck with each other. Either way, we are blessed.
Our daughter Amy and her husband Chris have blessed us with two grandson’s Sam and Max and two step-grandson’s.
Our son Matthew and his wife Abby have blessed us with a grandson Charlie and a wonderful granddaughter Molly.
And our youngest, Michael, will wed his fiancée, Kelly, in the fall of 2014.
Last but not least, my sweet grand babies; Sam, Charlie, Max and Molly
I love being creative. I took home ec in 9th thru 11th grade where sewing and cooking were the main focus. In 9th grade I made a pair of pants and a fitted jacket. It turned out amazing. During high school I would come home after school and make a pair of slacks to wear out that night. That led to sewing for my kids when they were small. Then I lost interest and time.
It wasn’t until four years ago when my first grandchild was born that I got excited about crafting again. That interest brought me to scrapbooking. I think as a grandma I can look back on raising my own children and wish I would have taken more photos, saved more from their childhoods etc… I think its easier as a grandma to do those things than as a mom when I was too busy raising my kids to do it.
I want Canary Street Crafts to be a place of inspiration for you to come browse through our projects and be inspired enough to give one of them a try. I want our tutorials to say to you; hey…I can do this too. Knowing that if you have a question, all you have to do is ask and we will be here for you. After all, your success is our success!
If you would like to connect with me, you can send me an email here (canarystreetcrafts[at]gmail[dot]com). Or join me on Facebook, Instagram, Google+, Pinterest, and Twitter. I would love to hear from you!
