Besides being a handmaker of things, I'm also a blog-o-holic.  I have always loved writing, and when I first discovered blogging four years ago it was love at first post.  Along with Handmaker of Things I write and create content for two other blogs.  

 

Middle of the Map Weddings is exactly what it sounds like, a wedding inspiration blog with a focus on the middle of the map (or the midwest).  As a professional in the wedding industry I am always looking at other vendors work, blogs, and magazines for inspiration.  Many blogs focus on weddings from the east or west coast, and I saw a need to showcase the amazing talents we have right here all over the midwest.  Middle of the Map weddings engagements, real weddings, DIY projects, and vendor resources from beautiful events right here in the heartland.

Paper Muse Press is a retail stationary company that will be launching it's website in Spring 2013.  Their focus is on quality, well designed, personalized stationary for all occasions.  I was lucky enough to begin writing and creating content for their blog in Spring 2012.  The blog focuses on being creative in everyday life with DIY projects, home decor, recipes, holiday and entertaining ideas, and more.  It's a place for inspiration of all sorts, and it helps me stay creative every single day!

Besides writing these two blogs I'm also the admin. of the Kansas City group KC Blogger Meetup.  Jeanee Duvall of the business, and blog Dirty Laundry, asked me to join her in creating a group where bloggers here in Kansas City could get to know each other offline.  We've built a great community of bloggers, and have meetups about once a month to get to know each other, share ideas, offer support, and network.
