Let’s give Mindy of Mimi Marie Design our warmest SITS welcome. ย Mindy isย a graphic designer, crafter and part-time preschool teacher. ย Atย Mimi Marie Design you’ll find ย custom party design, custom pet tags and custom wood signs and frames. ย She also makes all sorts of bottle cap crafts that you’ll LOVE!
How did your blog emerge?
My blog emerged when I didn’t go back to work after my daughter was born. I was trying to find ways to keep connected with people and a way to showcase what I love to do. A blog seemed perfect!
How do you see your blog in 5 years?
I am hoping that it has a new design and that I have a million followers… hehe.
You are an art instructor. ย What do you teach?
I am an art instructor in the summer. I teach art camps and we do painting, clay, conte crayons, etc. I am actually taking this summer off and I went back part-time to my old preschool job. I have been teaching 4 year olds since May while running my side business in my off hours. It is so much fun!
What is your favorite kind of post to write?
I love to write posts about crafts that I came up with or something unique that I found online. I love sharing other people’s creations on my blog for all to see. That is what SITS is all about… supporting our fellow bloggers!
Have you ever had a craft, graphic design or art project turn out totally different than you’d planned?
Hmmm…. yes, I have had a graphic design project turn out different than planned… actually many times! The time that stands out the most is the time that I started making my wall plaques. I had bought a cricut cutting machine at walmart and I was super excited to craft with it! I really wanted to cut out some cute vinyl sayings for my daughter’s rooms…but instead…. I ended up going and buying some cull lumber fromย Home Depotย and when I got home, I started whipping out really cute vinyl signs. I also bought someย modge podgeย and started crafting cute, colorful signs withย scrapbook paper. I never thought that a simple craft would turn into something that I sell around town at boutiques! It has been a fun-filled year!:)
I actually met a client on SITS and made some custom vinyl signs for a wedding she was planning. If you have not checked out “Weddings by Jon’ette”, she is fabulous… you must stop by and say hi!

I just wanted to let you know about a little 8-week series I’m doing on parenting. This is my first post and I’ll be bringing something similar each Monday for 8 weeks.
It’s a simple exercise in encouraging my kids and if you’d like to join me I would love to post a link to your posts telling how it went for you each week, or you could simply post a link in the comment section.
This is for anyone who is in the realm of wanting lots of practical parenting tools. I thought I’d let you know. :):)
