About Me


My name is Tyna (pronounced Tina). I am in my last 3wks of externship as a Registered Medical Assistant. I am a retired practical nurse. I have 4 children and three grandchildren. We also have an open door policy for my daughters friends whom we have adopted, Lindsay, Joy, Stephanie, Megan, Rosa, Lisa, Kathy (Ace) Nicole, Jasmine, Ashley, Jamie,  & Alex. In addition to all the children we have 5 birds, and our dogs, Lady & Fergus.

My favorite hobbies are stained glass, art journals, scrapbooking, crocheting, cooking, travel, and I am new 
to working with wood.
Home improvement takes alot of our
time as our home is over 60 years old.
I love flea markets and garage  sales, 
always on the look out for unique 
craft storage ideas and projects.





For all of you who did not already know my daughter (who is in Afghanistan) Jenn, she challenged me to grow and move into new avenues of sharing by starting a blog. This also meant that I had to promise to make more time for my passions such as my arts & crafts and to involve myself with others who shared that passion. So here I am.
