About me

My name is Kristen and I like to make things!  I like to make things so much, that I decided I would create this blog so I could share my creations with you all!

I was Chicago suburbanite child, and now, I am  trying to figure out how to live life in Southeast Iowa.  Where there is NO Starbucks for over 60 miles!   Although I don’t have the everyday convinces of suburban life, I am learning how to make gifts, cook and create even better things then what one might find in stores.
I am always challenging myself to come up with new ” Things” to make that will contribute to my family’s well being and to help us become more ” worldly”.
I like to ” Make the best of everything”  in all my situations.  Its a great attitude to have and results in a very happy life!
Please enjoy my blog.  if you have feedback, please feel free to e-mail me @ makethebestcrafts@gmail.com
