One More Day! Meet the lady behind Mt Nittany Creations!


One more day!

Hi! My name is Amber. I grew up in a very creative home. My mom was always making things and encouraging us to do so. I can remember going with her to a craft fair at my elementary school, where she sold Cabbage Patch doll dresses and name bracelets. One of my favorite classes in school was art. 

In the last few years, I have been diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease and some other diseases as well. I went through a period of depression and anxiety. On coming out on the other side of this sad period, I found that crafting, especially making jewelry, gave me so much life. My husband and I decided to give it a go and open an ETSY shop. 

We opened back in September 2016. We have slowly grown a following. The whole family joins in, my husband, daughters and even my mom help to create jewelry for our shop. It has been such a blessing to run this shop and to do it with my family.

To share my love of crafting, we started the craft challenge. I hope that you will join us April 2 for the Spring craft challenge. All the best as you craft away and maybe you will win a great prize from Crystal at Wishy Yo Washi!

Crystal from Wishy Yo Washi

Starting on Sunday we will have our first spring crafting challenge. In past challenges, we have an artist give away a prize. For this challenge, we will have my friend Crystal from Oregon.  She was born in California and moved to Oregon when she was in the 1st grade.

Crystal loves sewing and crafting. She runs a few different shops on ETSY and has two Instagram feeds. One of her Instagram feeds, Refashioned Treasures, she posts pictures of many things. Pictures of the things she makes, Upcycles, and sells vintage items.  One of her shops, Wishy Yo Washi,  she crafts and sells fun washi tape. One of the things that brought her to work at home was her struggle with an autoimmune disease.  She adores making and selling all of these various crafts and things she has sewn.

She is excited to join in this challenge with us. Feel free to head over to her one shop wishyyowashi.etsy.com.

Another day until the challenge starts. See you then!
