ABOUT

Meet Kristy.

Also known as "Kreative Kristy", her biggest fear is not living long enough to try all the crafty things on her bucket list. She is a follower of Jesus Christ and tries to live her life for Him every day and teach her children to look to Him in all things. She is married to her best friend, Tim, who is hardworking, generous, kind, and loving. The Lord answered her prayer to be a mother by giving her two sons and a daughter and uses them daily to mold her into the image of Christ.  It is a slow and sometimes painful process. She also has two fabulous step-children who are recent college graduates. She works part time from home, home schools, and volunteers at her church. In her "free" time you will find her playing with her craft supplies in her walk-in-closet turned craft room, reading a book, or working on a project around the house.

Meet Leslie.

A country girl who has returned to her roots, Leslie once told her parents she wanted to marry either a cowboy or farmer. Fast forward a few years and she met a newly graduated (and handsome) accountant, Wade, who grew up raising beef cattle. Fast forward several more years and the Lord has blessed them with 18 years of happy marriage as well as a teenage daughter and almost teenage son. They bought 37 acres in the last two years and are slowly growing their farm with two cats, a puppy, two donkeys, and a few beef cattle. Leslie has a love of learning and writing and is always trying something new whether in the kitchen, garden, or craft room.

Together!

Kristy and Leslie met through a mutual friend in 2009. They started going on annual girls' weekends together soon after. At one such weekend in 2012 they talked about how they should combine their love for DIY'ing and all things crafty and start a blog. They finally got serious in July 2014 when Living, Laughing, and Learning was born! (Read their "birthday" post here.)
