about me

I am a wife, mom, graphic designer, scrapbooker, crafter and extreme out-of-the-box thinker. I believe in possibility, never giving up and the power of asking "why not"? My husband and I have been married for twelve years and are blessed with our six year son on the autism spectrum who teaches us more about the world around us every day.

I own a small vintage and primitive graphic design shop called Amybug's Primitive Attic. I feel very blessed to be able to work from home and do what I love. I am also a very crafty gal and love finding new ways to be creative.

I also make art for Etsy under the name The Persnickety Owl. Really I just love to make art plain and simple.

I love to take pictures and scrapbook and have been known to document the good, the bad and the ugly. All aspects of my crazy creative life. Creating art helps me be me. If I don't do something creative on a regular basis, I get cranky. And you don't want to see me when I'm cranky.

We have one neurotic dog, one evil cat and one not-so-evil cat. We all live together in craziness in a suburb east of Seattle, Washington. And yes it does rain all the time here.

This blog is a hodge podge of crafting, scrapbooking, interior design, living with a child on the autism spectrum, graphic design and living a gluten-free lifestyle with celiac disease. So if you don't like today's post, come back tomorrow. Actually maybe this blog should be called "Amy's Crazy Creative RANDOM Life".  Or something like that.

Thanks for dropping by to learn more about me, my family, my business, my creative endeavors and this blog!
