About Becs-It’s *always* about Becs!
Hi! My friends know me as Becs, a.k.a. Madame Theresa! I live in the Ozark hill country with my loving husband ,Mark, one of our 3 children, Amy, and a cat, Pandora (who will only come to “Mama’s Baby Kitty”) and dog, Katie. Out of all of them, the cat works my nerves the least, and that’s why I am always saying, “Get a cat!”

I have been “making things” all my life. I love to cook, sew and make things out of paper. I even like to make paper! I LOVE to recycle things and make unusual gifts out of tin cans, especially!
*
I also demonstrate and sell some of the latest and greatest gadgets and tools available on the market, to artists & crafters!
~~ The manual embossing machines are an affordable and fun tool that will emboss on recycled aluminum from cans and elegant cardstock, making elegant gift tags, greeting cards, and embellished scrapbook pages that you would previously only be able to obtain from a retail store. This set up is perfect to make cards to sell as fundraisers, and could possibly pay for itself in half a day! Churches, PTAs, and other groups have successfully doubled their fundraising profits after buying this kit. The complete kit includes cutting dies, embossing folders, paper kit and other goodies you need to set up and start making beautiful creations, as soon as you get home. Instruction is also free with the purchase of the kit, or you are always welcome to stop by when I am having free demonstration weekends.
~~ The CropODial hole puncher/eyelet setter will make a hole in a tin can, a leather belt, and silverware used to make wind chimes! To show its ease in operation, like a hot knife through butter, I last demonstrated it using just 2 fingers! It also sets eyelets and grommets with ease as well.
~~ Scrapbookers or card makers!!! I have access to ink and cardstock in over 48 colors. Cardstock comes in 12″ x 12″ or 8 1/2″ x 11″ sizes, assorted or solid color packs. Designer scrapbook papers in coordinated packs, and a selection of artist grade rubber stamps round out this fabulous collection by Stampin’ Up. For information about stamping workshops or just to order out of my catalog, give me a call! Orders take about a week. Ask how you can earn your stuff free by hosting a workshop at my house or yours, or even out of the catalog.

This spring, when the weather gets nicer, I will be hosting several paper art & fabric embellishment workshops out here at my house. Watch this blog for further notice and workshop dates.

Some of the projects I am working on for sale this summer are:
beautiful kitchen and hostess aprons,
tote bags and purses,
and tee pees for kids AND pets!
Some of my designs for sale will be available locally and on the internet. Eventually I want to sell patterns of my own original designs as well.

Thank you for reading all about me. Blogging is new to me. Heck, *using a computer* for anything more than “Google” , is new to me! As soon as I get a camera & learn how, I’ll post some pictures of my beautiful projects and items from my fun classes.
Until later, my friends!
