Welcome to Our THREE Guest Co-Hosts!

Meet Michelle from Our Crafty Mom!

Our Crafty Mom l Pinterest l Bloglovin l Instagram l G+

Hi! I’m Michelle & I’m so happy to be guest co-hosting!  I’m a full time insurance adjuster, part time blogger and Mom to two grown children ages 24 & 19.  My youngest, Amanda, is now a sophomore in College allowing me more time to focus on my passion of arts & crafts, DIY projects, home decor & sharing these projects with you!

 

Meet Meredith from The Palette Muse, our second co-host!

The Palette Muse l Facebook l Pinterest l G+ l Instagram

Hi!  I’m Meredith, the blogger behind ThePaletteMuse.com.  I’m an artist by training, a part-time interior decorator/stylist, and a full-time wife and mom.  I have a wonderfully supportive (in spite of the occasional eye-roll) husband, and two fast-growing little girls, ages 10 and 8.  I love taking care of my family and I thrive on doing creative projects and sharing them on the blog.  I write about all sorts of DIY projects, from the arts and crafts end of the spectrum all the way to major household remodeling, along with a few of my thoughts on life along the way.

 

Meet Lyn from MidMichigan Mom, our third co-host!

MidMichigan Mom l Facebook l Pinterest l Twitter l Bloglovin

Hey there!  I’m Lyn aka the Mid Michigan Mom.  I blog about DIY, crafts, re-purposing furniture and the joys of motherhood…ahem.  I also throw in some fun things about my town for the locals.  If you enjoy reading about the wisdom according to a 3 year old or like to see some awesome projects, stop on by!
