Hello, I am Amy from Collinsville, Mississippi. I am a graphic designer with a passion to create. I began making art from pallet wood for friends and family as gifts and later decided to open a shop. My husband and I work out of our garage and a small room in our house with a little help from my son and my father. My dad, who has inspired me for years by being creative himself, has also made his own fishing lures since I was a little girl.

I also enjoy photography. I share thoughts on my blog.

The name for my shop came about when I turned 50 years old. I wanted to shake things up a bit and try something new... so I opened my shop.

I believe that God gives everyone talents. He says that in his word...

"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms."
~ 1 Peter 4:10

I know without a doubt that my spiritual gift is not only giving but creating from the heart. So in this chapter of my life... the 5th decade... I am choosing to focus on what God is calling me to do.... Praying only for the knowledge of His will for me and the power to carry that out... and to use the talents and desires to glorify him in some way. I want to be able to share my gifts with others so they can use them in return as a reminder of God's heart and how desperately He wants us to live trusting Him. So if you buy something from my shop, or even if you just pin it on your favorites page, maybe somehow seeing what things God has laid upon my heart to create, you might in turn be blessed in some way deep within your own heart.

Share the love. :)
