StacyLynnZ Gifts-N-Gift Baskets

"If you want to be-BE" Henry David Thorreau 

Welcome & thanks for checking out my site! My name is StacyLynn. I can honestly say I love my work! I know you will too!

 I have been making gifts for my friends and family since I was a little girl. I have perfected my techniques and expanded my creative mind since then. My first love is painting. I have always done projects that revolved around my painting ability. When I was finished with a project (or two or three) I gave my gifts to people  in the form of gift baskets. That is essentially where it began. I  would often receive comment on my abilities and was asked why I was not selling them. I never really took it that seriously. I enjoyed what I was doing  and the smiles on their faces were enough payment for me. That is until several years ago I was approached to do a "craft show". It was awkward at first, having so many people look over and judge my work but I did great. I sold about 85% of my items and added a few special orders. I created these on the side as I always worked other jobs. I would get an occasional mural to paint or band backdrop, but a lot of my creativity was released in my baskets, wreaths, and paintings.

 Just recently, I  married  my Prince Charming.  He even came with a uniform, (military that is). He is a proud soldier in the U.S. Army and with that comes relocation. I didn't mind moving but I was leaving behind friends, family and a lucrative real estate career in another state. I wasn't familiar with the market out this way and  I didn't want to distract from my time with my husband while he was home in the states. So, I began on another creative journey and this time I didn't stop. I painted and created, until finally my husband asked the same question many had asked me before. This time I had no excuses for not doing it full time. He opened my eyes to the fact that you really can enjoy what you do for work. It doesn't have to always be "work". With support from my husband, family, and friends I began this venture full time. I haven't regreted a minute of it. I enjoy it to this day and as you become familiar with my products, I know you will too.

Feel free to contact me at any time with any questions. I love to make it personal.

May your day be blessed,
