Larelle-Susanne Thoms - Larelle's Crafty Creations

 

My name is Larelle-Susanne Thoms and I started crafting when I was little and just continued the crafty adventure. I am a  nurse, married to my husband John of 5 years who is currently Active duty Army deployed to Afghanistan. I am a mother of 11 children yes 11, 6 girls 5 boys most of them out of the house and grown so in my free time I craft craft and craft... I am a current Design Team Member for the Friendly Crafters on Facebook and Seemacrafts. I also have a hobby page called Larelle's cakes on facebook that shows of some of the 3d cakes Ive made.  But Ive grown to love Stamping, and just creating gifts for friends and loved ones. I am on youtube as nurselarelle so youll often see some of the creations Ive made in videos as well as my blog http://adventuresofnurselarelle.blogspot.com/. If you asked me what my favorite craft is Id answer CRAFTING, hehehe . Why you ask?  Why just pick one when I create I create the item to fit the person, their likes and for myself it kinda changes from season to season day to day  I am very versitle and ALWAYS LOVE trying new crafts. I can cook/bake, sew, crochet, clay make, scrapbook, alter items, create flowers, make pottery, I have yet to master knitting though but the list goes on and on .... So when I come to a new craft I always try it at least once, I GUESS you'd say I am a crafter of all trades of sorts. So the crafty Adventure has led me to Lovesrubberstamps and I couldnt be more excited to be a GUEST DESIGNER for September. Super Big Hugs Larelle-Susanne
