Hi Impact!

So glad to have you here! I am Lynn Muir- crazed DIY’er and mom to five beautiful kids. My blog got started as a way to share my love of creating and to encourage other women to try new things. Here I share tips on crafting, DIY’s for around your home and yard, and I also sprinkle in some of my thoughts on motherhood.

You could say that I am in a constant state of creating.  Nothing happens around here without trial and error and… a lot of music.   Mostly I paint, use my saws in the garage, try to sew, practice/mess around with my camera, go thrift store shopping, dance, and CRAFT!  I love to decorate my home. Most of the things I craft are to add personality and fun in my house.

My hippy parents are both very artistic, my grandmother was a crafter to the max, and my extended family is full of artists. It is in my blood and I absolutely love it.

Power tools and paint are my stress relievers 🙂  And as much as I love crafting, I love being a mom 100x more.  On career day in elementary school, I always came dressed as a “MOM.”  Kids laughed at me. But! I knew motherhood was my calling in life.  As hard as it can be (and yes it’s hard some days)  it is the best thing I have ever done in my life — aside from marrying my best friend “The Beard.”  🙂  It was either that or becoming a My Little Pony…..I mean come on, the best two career options you could have. 😉

I have three mottos for life.

1. Get Crafty with Your Bad Self
2. Life is wild, but wild is beautiful.
3. Whatever floats your boat.

     

I live near the gorgeous mountains in central Utah with my husband and our 5 children. We are San Diego (him) and Seattle (me) transplants.  We met in Utah while in college, moved to San Diego for six years, and returned to Utah to run our businesses here. Seattle, San Diego, and Utah all have a piece of my heart.

I hope you enjoy this blog and that it inspires you to get crafty with your bad self.

 

Thanks for stopping by!!
