"Well, I'd like to tell you a story and it won't take long." Here is the down-low on the 2 crafty sisters who teamed up to bring you this blog:)
I am a mother of 2 adorable kids who have the bluest eyes and longest eyelashes you have ever seen. I love music and find it very relaxing to spend time learning a new piano piece or singing in choirs. My hubby, a genius born from hard work and dedication, graduated from medical school in May 2009. We are still doing more "schooling" as he finishes up a residency and prepares to do a fellowship in allergy and asthma.
I sincerely hope that you take the time to read all of this because it is the reason I do this blog. I have struggled with post partum depression for 2 years now. I thought I was getting better, but after a change of insurance, a bad psychologist, and going off meds cold turkey, things got out of control. In August of 2009 I attempted suicide. I have been getting help ever sense. I started crafting to help cope. Soon the craft blog was born. The name "Therapeutic Crafting" is dear to my heart because it truly is a form of therapy for me. I have written all of my struggles and battles with this through out my blog. I have made it easy to find so you can read it at your leaser.

Hi! I am Kimberly, a stay at home mom of 2 girls and 2 boys. Our family motto is: psalms 46:10 BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD. I must confess it's partly because our kids have a hard time being still. But hopefully while they wiggle they can learn who God is.
Often when people ask me what I like to do, all I can come up with is take care of my kids. I decided one day that I needed to come up with a better response. So here's what I like to do: spend time with my family(doesn't that sound alot nicer then take care of kids), exercise, clean my house, try new recipes, blog, eat, read, play the piano, listen to music, craft, camp, since my husband likes anything with a motor we like to off road, and boat. When I have a spare second I like to attempt to decorate my house, It doesn't come naturally so I am slow but I enjoy crafting or sewing things for my house.
Sewing hasn't been my first passion. But as time has gone on I realized that sewing and crafting stays done, where house work and laundry don't. I still would rather clean my house first but I have found that my love for making things for my house and family has grown. Now that I have girls old enough to sew and craft things I appreciate the time my mother spent teaching me. I sure complained a lot and so I think about that when my girls are complaining. Someday they will appreciate the knowledge.
I am super excited to start blogging with my sister. We live far apart from each other and have gone sometimes over a year before seeing each other. She is amazingly creative, and talented were I just like to copy people. I have been truly blessed in life and hope that others will be able to live a happy and fulfilled life like I have.
