Who I am is complicated. Well, maybe not complicated, just layered.
I am Tracey.
Wife of a fabulous craftsman. 26 years.
Ma of two grown sons.
Gram to one sweet granddaughter, another baby on the way. I love collecting quirky things.
Especially vintage. In fact, Im a junker.
A friend to estate sales.
First grade teacher.
Manager of six year olds. Controller of my curls.
Sunday school teacher.
The wheels are always spinning.
That's me.

When pulling out of the driveway each morning as I head to school, I see wood and stone. I see the sweat it took to build our home and I feel the aches and pains associated with keeping it up. But mostly I see REFUGE. A haven. My favorite place. And I can not wait to get back to it when the day is done. That is what I want for every person I know. To feel such a connection with the home they create.

Re: Bird in the Cage...

The bingo balls made my day. So cute as eggs! And the flash card cinched it. Love, love, love it.

Great project!

Re: How to Make a Gear Mold Clock

I like the idea of a working clock! Ha. I have a few that are just for "looks" but gee, why not have one that works? Hee hee. We junkers sometimes settle for "just looks", huh?

Love the way the gear looks and how it would work in so many spots.

Re: Christmas Vacation

Your tree brings up all kinds of emotions and feelings of nostalgia. Family travel. Collecting. Whimsy. The love someone had for those penants. And now YOU (we) have for those penants. Thanks for posting such a creative tree.

Re: From Card Table to Wall Art

I'm going to look for a table like yours everywhere I go. I've never seen such a neat card table. And a great way to display it.

Re: Time to Hit the Sack

Very cool art, Candy. I like the way you used the wood thing to support the bag. This idea could be applied to lots of other projects, huh? Thanks for the inspiration.

Another favorite! I love your whole office wall. How unique and fun. I'd like another look at the whole office wall, like Kathy said.

Re: Can I Have Your Number ?

Numbers SPEAK to me too. Thank you for sharing how you've fit them into your home. I love the keys too. And the necklace! All this is right up my alley.

Re: Clean-up that Yard With a Little Junk!

Love, love, love your junk garden photos! But I especially fell in love with your garden shed window boxes. Perfectly perfect! I'll be on the lookout at my favorite junk spots for some of those!
