Meet our November Guest Designer

We have a GUEST designer joining us here at Lollipop Crafts for November!! Yay!! Please meet....


I'm a 40-yr-old mother of one HANDSOME 11-year-old son (bd 9/26/99) and one PRECIOUS 2-year-old son (bd 1/16/09). I've been married to the most wonderful man in the world for 6 1/2 years, and I LOOOOOVE being a Marine wife! My husband has helped me through some very hard times, and I wouldn't be the person I am today without his love and support. He is my rock, my soul mate, and my one true love; without him, I am nothing. He is a gunnery sergeant (active-duty) in the United States Marine Corps (19 1/2 years!), and I am proud and honored to stand beside him as his wife. I've been paper crafting since my oldest was just a few years old, but my style has evolved SOOO much!! My husband and children are my inspiration, and most of my layouts focus on them. I enjoy altering different things, and I've recently gotten into card making and found that I LOOOOVE it!!!!! There are still things I want to learn and techniques I want to try, and I'm always looking for more inspiration!


Welcome Ashley! We hope you have a SWEET time with us and look forward to your creative style!


When you have a moment, please join us in giving Ashely a very warm welcome to the team... You get to see her very first debut creation on Monday! Stick around....
