How did your shop come about? Any specific inspiration?
In 2008, my husband and I were trying to come up with a wedding favor that would be both meaningful, and useful to our guests. We found small wooden boxes and decided to wood burn each person’s first initial on individual boxes. They were a hit! About a year later, a friend was having her first baby, so I engraved her baby’s initials on a large trunk. I started receiving requests from friends and friends of friends, and started to explore the possibility of selling on Etsy.
Do you have any particular rituals when you create?
I currently do all my wood burning in our kitchen! However, my husband just finished creating a beautiful work space for me in an old dairy barn on our farm. All it needs now is electricity!
What do you like best about having an Etsy shop?

Any new projects/designs in the pipeline?
I am constantly trying to create new products, and I have found that clients, friends, and family are a great inspiration. Often time, I can assist in creating their special piece from just a simple sketch or idea.

Do you ever suffer from "designer's"-block? If so, what do you do about it?
The occasional ‘designers’ block’ can certainly be a challenge. However, I keep a notebook of ideas, and simply play around with a few until something “feels” right.
What's the best piece of advice given to you about running your shop?
The best piece of advice given to me about running my shop is don’t sell yourself short – each unique gift or product has value beyond the material it is made of. You created it...
If Hollywood made a movie about your life, whom would you like to see play the lead role as you?
If Hollywood made a movie about my life, I’d like to see Reese Witherspoon play the lead role as me.

Who is your dream customer?
My dream customer would be the person asking me to design multiple pieces for his/her wedding. Everything from the place cards and table décor, to keepsake boxes, gift bags, and cake stand...everything!
What is your favorite food/favorite restaurant?
My favorite food is ice cream (Homemade brand Cookies ’N Cream!) Chinese food is a close second!
If we looked in your refrigerator right now, what would we find?
If you looked in my refrigerator right now, you would find milk, juice, fruit, cookie dough, yogurt, cold cuts and cheese! I was a Registered Dietitian before having kids, so I try to keep things healthy for them! That being said, I won’t comment on what’s in the pantry!
