Hi out there! My name is Nancy, I am 24 years old and I just completed my BA in Criminal Justice.  I like to do tons of things.  I took Secretarial in High School, then a Certificate class on how to start my own business, then it was Carpentry at Job Corps, now my Criminal Justice BA.  I love to study!

I graduated *finally* in December, and recently moved to Orlando (Altamonte Springs) in January.  After my boyfriend and I survived a 2 year long distance relationship, he proposed to me at our meeting place *the airport* January 7, 2008, the day I was finally moving to Florida.  His opening line was "The airport has always been a place that has brought us together..." I love him so much! 

I have tons of hobbies and counting.  Right now I am focusing on my hair bows.  I love love love making hair bows and just love seeing the finishing piece.  I love to combine stripes with dots with plaid.  It look totally adorable!

Other hobbies include: studying, traveling, photography, beach, movies, music, dancing, meeting new people, sports, road trips, going to garage sales, fishing, shooting range, bowling, shooting pool, dancing, and the list goes on.

Yes, I am wearing a Baby Bow Madness....and one of my favorite Job Corps recon shirt! hehe

My arts & crafts:  I have always been doing SOMETHING for as long as I can remember, thanks to my mom.  Making birthday hats out of construction paper, making hair bows out of odds n ends, ceramics, popsicle sticks jewelry box and picture frames, baskets out of the 1/4 milk carton, making homemade candles (trying not to burn down the house) homemade soap, jewelry, crochett, recon an old tshirt or jeans, the list just seems to go on.

How I began making hair bows?  Well, I shall tell you! lol.  A few years ago (2002-2003) my sister and I had both enrolled in Job Corps (and both took carpentry lol) There, after school we would take some arts and crafts class, which the teacher would show us a different craft every Tuesday night.  Well, one night she tought us how to do the braided headband, and it all started from there.

My sister and I began making them non stop and started selling them at a few swap meets/flea markets/garage sales, etc.  I still *and always will* carry my braided headband.  It looks totally adorable and it is soft for the child, as it will not leave any marks on the head or forehead.

Then I started venturing off to boutique style hair bows, and love doing that too, along with baby clips.  I love learning new techniques.  I just love saying that I am a girl with a BA in Criminal Justice running her own Hair Bow ebay store! lol.

I also did some collage work too last year.  Just a little something on how I got started with that.

How I started in the collage section was merely by accident.  Summer of 2000 I was taking summer classes to be able to graduate high school with extra credits (I have always enjoyed learning...sorry I am a nerd! lol) and was taking Biology and Geometry.  Well, during Biology, as a project we had to make up the human cell with play doh! lol.  As I got set to work on my project (of course, the day before I had to hand it in!) I needed a play to start working on my creation, so I found the lid to a pizza box.  But I obviously didn't want to show off the word "PIZZA" so I looked through magazines and cut out the really cute items I found, and phrases and such and glued them to the box and covering it up with tape.  It looked really cute!  The next day as I handed it in my project, everybody loved my art.  Out of boredom, I decided to make up my notebooks like that too.  But I also had gotten pictures that I had already taken of my friends during summer school. Everybody loved my notebooks, and that's where it began. 

Since then, I would just do it for fun, and decorating odds n ends, but I have gotten so better at it, that I decided to make them to sell.  Most what I sell are ACEO (Art Card Editions and Originals) or ATC (Artist Trading Cards)  They measure the same size 2.5" x 3.5" and are made to be collected, traded, sold, bought, ect.  I love making them.  I do bigger sizes as well.
