"My Boys"

A LIttle About Me

    I'm married with 4 children (2 Girls, 2 Boys), 2 wonderful grandsons!  Two of the children are out of state. One living in PA, One attending college in VA. Two we're lucky enough to have here in RI with us.  Our youngest daughter recently married so we've added another Son to the family!

   We also have two beautiful dogs, a Siberian Husky "Rebel" and a Black Lab "Bryce". Who are excellent company now that the children are all grown and on their own. I'd be lost without them - empty nest syndrome I believe is what it's called. Especially since I've been out of work since 1/07 due to a disability. Between my "Boys" and Ebay it's what keeps me going! 

     My husband calls me a pack rat. I love to collect things. I enjoy working with my hands doing a variety of crafts, scrapebooking. sewing and baking. In the process I tend to accumulate more than I need to work with, hence how I started doing Ebay!

The Birth of Megan's Chest of Treasures

    This was a case of one thing leads to another! Without working anymore, not being able to collect disability, too young for SS and needing the income we had lost, I decided to try to increase what I was doing with my Ebay.  Also I had been tossing around the idea of opening up my own Party Planning business. Due to my hobbies, I'd learned to make favors, decorations, invitations, etc. I'd been decorating cakes for years. It was just a matter of taking a leap of faith! I also thought one could enhance the other and maybe I'd be able to make up the income I'd lost! Wish me luck!

   I chose the name because "Megan" was an old nickname from my childhood that always brought happy memories. Chest of Treasures came from something my children said a long time ago.  "Mom, you always manage to put wonderful things together from those boxes and chests of yours". (I was a collector even then!) Therefore, Chest of Treasures. 

     Besides which - Yes, I am Irish - and I wanted something that would bring me LUCK! Other than the Murphy Kind! LOL

   Take Care and Bless You All!
