Private Blend Designer?


 She will specialize in all types of 'lifestyle' crafts
featuring our color stories, will be uber-inspiring and we're so
blessed to have her!

Welcome ...



"Hey everyone!  I am so excited to be joining such an awesome group as the newest Private Blend Designer at The Play Date Cafe!  As you might have learned from the awesome contest this week, I am the proud owner of many titles and Blogger/Designer at Heartmade Life is just one of them!  My family and I make our home smack dab in the middle of Central Wisconsin, where we are in a constant state of remodel and redecorating, as my husband is also infected with the DIY bug.  I dabble in a wide variety of crafts and have always believed that anything handmade is truly heartmade - something I picked up from my grandparents as a little girl.  I'm also in my second term as a Designer for The Twinery and I cannot wait to bring my style and skill to The Play Date Cafe!"
