I Love Being Creative!




My name is Angi Barrs. I have been crafting for a while now and love it! When I'm not creating you can find me hanging out with my two beautiful daughters, munching on a piece of cheesecake, sipping on some Texas sweet tea, or browsing my favorite bookstore. By day I teach reading and writing to a loveable bunch of teenagers. My classroom is filled with loads of crafty goodies too. I am also a Veteran and have proudly served in the U.S. Marine Corps.
I have had the honor of having my creative projects published in several magazines. I have also worked for some of the best manufacturers in the industry.
