Introduction

Hello! 
Welcome to my new business blog, Rustic Ambitions!  Thanks for stopping by. 
I created this blog because I have family and friends who are not on Facebook to follow what I am creating and selling so this is a great way to share what I'm doing without overloading their in boxes or phones with pictures, plus I can share a little bit more information about a project. I'm hoping this blog and my business reaches more than just my current family and friends; I'd love to meet new people around the world through it.  

A little about me: My name is Melissa, I am a stay at home mom for almost 8 years now and I have a beautiful little family that includes my husband, Justin and our two kids, Natalie, she's 6 and Raylan, he's 2; oh and our two pets, Zip our boarder collie and Lucky our cat! :) We are all born and raised (or being raised) in WYOMING! We love it here, although the wind and winters are not my favorite, overall its a great place to live! ;)

I have "Crafter's ADD", I cannot stick to just one thing to create!! I love to sew, re-purpose old and new items, build signs, paint, bake, work in the garden, and home improvement projects. Anything that can keep me busy and creating, I'm going to do it; I love a challenge! 
I LOVE Pinterest! I find a lot of inspiration from there and it's usually where I find my MUST DO projects for either my house and yard or for things to sell. I'm sure many of you can relate to that! The website is super addictive! :) You can follow me there at pinterest.com/mtaylor24

I have only been selling my crafts since October of 2013. Although, I've been crafting for some time, most of my life really, I've always been afraid to sell my stuff in fear of criticism. I'm kind of OCD about perfection and having things look and be done a certain way so I figured everyone else would be too! lol I finally decided to go for it and started with a local craft fair, then got into a boutique, and sold from local Facebook groups. I've had a great turn out so far and I'm looking to expand my audience by selling online at Etsy and possibly Storenvy. As soon as my shop is finished on Etsy, I will let you all know where to find me! :)  

Anyway, that's a little bit about me for now, I hope you come back often or even subscribe to see what's going on with Rustic Ambitions (my husband came up with the name and I love it! It's very fitting for me). I'm excited to try out this blogging thing, I've never done it before so hopefully I do it right!!
