Hey, I’m Emily!  Thank’s for visiting The Crafty Carlson.  I started this blog in hopes that I would be able to share some ideas and have something fun to build in my spare time as a stay at home mom.  Which is usually during nap time, or after that little squishy munchkin has gone to bed.  I sure love being his mama!  On top of being a mom, I am the luckiest wife in the world to the most amazing guy I know.  He’s my best friend!  Truly.  He’s a programmer too, so that sure helps with my dreams of having a blog!  My biggest influence when it came to crafting has been my own mother.  She was and is SO crafty!  I remember as a kid she was always working on something.  It’s even somewhat unnatural for me to think of a house without a craftroom, haha… Just because that is what I was so used to growing up!

Running half marathons, balancing that out with some chocolate, spending time with friends and family, and going on fun trips are some of the things I love outside of crafting.

I hope that you find some inspiration while reading my content and enjoy what you read.  I absolutely have loved writing for you all.  It has truly been a joy!

Thank’s for being here.

Emily
