My name is Danielle and I am a happily married full time working mom of a very active 4 year-old. I am an artist by nature, and I am happiest when I am actively creating. I specialize in upcycling thrift store furniture and other used household items. I re-style, and repurpose these items using decoupage, paint, fabric, and paper, just to name a few. This is a wonderful way to recycle and craft green while remaining on a budget. I also dabble in the fine arts and photography. One of my favorite hobbies and jobs is that of “family historian” as I am also interested in family history and genealogy and I post about this from time to time. I am an avid music, history and sports fan and love to incorporate art, music and pop culture into my creations.

Hi Danielle. I was so overdue in coming to this page so I don’t have to call you UpMom anymore. D’oh! And I just now tagged you in the Love-Hate Challenge. If you have a few minutes in your busy schedule, it could be fun to expand your BloggyVille network, my good friend. Have a great day.
