About

Hello, my name is Jenny, or Jen. Not Jennifer.
I always get asked if I’m a Jennifer,
but my parents picked Jenny, so Jenny it is!
Not that I mind the name Jennifer :)
Okay, now that we have my first name straight, a little about me
and why I have started this blog.

I am married to my best friend of almost 15 years.
His name is Jim and he makes me laugh every day.
I think he tries to get out of trouble by making me laugh. He’s sneaky that way.

I am the mommy to two spoiled dogs.
A sweet 10 year old yellow lab named Sierra.
And a bossy 9 year old Jack Russel Terrier named Molly.
I also love cats, but Jim is allergic to them. So no cats for us.

We live in Northern California in Sonoma County among the redwood trees.
I love where we live.
In 2000, my husband and I built our dream home on 4 acres and lived to tell about it.
I am lucky that my husband lets me do pretty much

anything I want when it comes to the house.
Not that he has a choice.
Because I’d wear him down eventually.

One weekend while my sweet husband was at work
I swapped the guest bedroom and my craft room.
All.By.Myself. True story!
And ever since, my husband has been afraid of what else
I might move/paint/create while he is at work.
He’s right to be afraid. 

In March 2011, I created this blog because I heart blogs and also heart DIY projects
and I heart my home and I thought an online diary might be fun. 

My plan is to share projects and inspiration as they come to me.
So welcome to my blog,
where inspiration and determination collide!

Jenny
