Oh, hi! Thanks for stopping by!

My name is Mike. My job is technical, but I have a real passion for creativity and crafting (you know - right brain, left brain). I started painting ceramics when I was young and did so much, I eventually started trying to sell them. However, they never sold very well and it was rough going back then. Over time, I branched out into florals and lighted baskets - a much better choice in terms of sales. Eventually, I started working with wood and doing various other mixed media items, since those sold the best and they really let me be creative (plus I love creating keepsakes for the holidays). I get so excited when I start a new project, and when it’s finished there’s such a feeling of accomplishment.

I wish my parents were still alive to see all my newest creations - they were so supportive and my best customers. Over the years, I’ve developed quite a local following - especially for my wood items. I love the combo of wood and lights and glitter! I make snowmen, tress, North Pole signs, penguins and continue to branch out with other designs. I work on my items all year long and take pride in my craftsmanship and attention to detail - especially in my painted work. Just see for yourself - I don’t really do crafts, I create ART!
