This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Lucy from Love 2 Create.
Hello! My name is Lucy Kelleher and I am so excited to be a here at Deezy Does It!! This is such a fun blog!
I have been blogging since May 2009 at Love 2 Create. (link: http://love2createitall.com). I live in Southern California with my amazing husband of 12 years. We met while training in Aikido, a Japanese martial art almost 20 years ago. We now own our own Aikido dojo (school) where I teach our children’s classes. I became a trial paralegal right out of school but decided to change careers about 8 years ago. I went back to school and became a teacher. After 5 years of teaching 3rd and 4th grade students, I am now a full-time Close to My Heart consultant and LOVING it! I have traded in teaching my little guys for teaching and creating memories with my “big” kids.
Here's a banner I made:

And matching cards to go along with the banner above:
I have to admit that I was never particularly craft growing up. I always wanted it to be “perfect” the first time I made something. Hardly a stress-free activity! I began crafting over 12 years ago when I saw a mother of one of my students working on cards in her car while waiting for her sons to come out. She invited me to a card workshop and I have been absolutely hooked every since. I have been with Close to My Heart for a little over 7 years now and am always amazed at all the new products they come up with every year. Every new Idea Book inspires me. Even though I have only been in the blogging world for a couple of years, I just LOVE posting my projects and ideas and getting feedback from others. I am a firm believer that there are really no “mistakes” in creating. ANYTHING can be fixed! Absolutely anything! (If you could only see the things that didn't make it to the blog - of course, they were fixed so you can't see them!).
