Hi all, my name is Heather & I am the owner of Willow Lake Scents. I love crafting !! At the moment we carry hand made primitives, hand made CP soap and M&P soap, OOAK hand made wreaths, craft supplies, misc. bath & body products & anything else I find the time to make.....
I am the mother of 2 amazing teenagers ~ My daughter Roxanne is 18 & will graduate from high school this year (ughhh) & my son Michael (we call him Skip) is 14 & a freshman in high school this year. I have been with my husband Michael Sr. for 19 years & am still madly in love with him. He is my best friend !
Up until 2 weeks ago, I cared for my 80 year old grandmother (she had dementia & was very sick). I moved her from NY in June of 2007 to live with me & enjoyed every minute of the time I got to spend caring for her as she did for me when I was young. Sadly, we lost her on the 13th of this month & I miss her everyday. Iam so thankful that I was in a position (with overwhelming support from my family & friends) that I could quit my full time job in a nursing home & be home to care for her. She was an amazing woman & one of my best friends.
I recently signed up to be a box sponsor for the December box at outoftheboxsampler.com ~ if you haven't checked out this website yet ~ what are ya waitin' for ?? There are some amazing contributors for these sample boxes!! I bought the October box & the November box ~ AWESOME !!
