I Love Learning!

Now that I’m an empty nester, I have time to learn.  Turns out I’m passionate about what creates a sense of domestic bliss inside one’s home.  This prompted me to search for a place where I could go to learn as much as I could about: DIY creative projects for the home (and to give as gifts).  Topics such as:  floral arranging, seasonal wreath making, holiday tablescapes, cooking and baking, as well as entertaining tips and ideas. What I found was, such a place didn’t exist in my area; at least not on the scale that I was looking for. What exactly was I looking for, you ask?  I wanted to be in the company of other women excited to learn about a myriad of topics.  A place where we could share a glass of wine, exchange stories, and DIY our time together.  Surely I couldn’t be the only one interested in this kind of learning?  Turns out I’m not!  And just like that Crafting a Blissful Bungalow was born.  I’d love for you to join us; in person or virtually!  We laugh, have fun, make new friends, and surprise ourselves with creativity we’d long forgotten we had.
