Oh hey, it's ME!

Hello blogging world,

My first post. I am excited!

Wecome to the mind of BurlapBelle, aka Megan. Here, you will find all you ever want to know about burlap.

Just kidding.

Really, this blog is for my thoughts, ideas, creations, ideas that become creations and creations that don't make the cut.

And also, it will probably be a place for me to post cute photographs of my niece and doggies. Whom I love to death!

A little about me. I grew up in a small town. I got married to my high school sweetheart. We started dating when I was 16 (I was just a baby).

See, we really were babies!

But, I know we had something special. And we did. We got married 6 and a half years later.

 

See, we really did get married! Hehe!



We have been blissfully married for two years. And I can truly say I love him more than I could ever imagine those eight long years ago.

We have two children. Furry children. Whom we love more than anything in this world. If my house was on fire, the only thing I would save would be my dogs. Charleigh is our "first born." She is a West Highland White Terrier, or a Westie, who wound up at a no-kill shelter when she was seven years old. We rescued her, only to realize she was very sick. She has diabetes (yes, dogs get diabetes. Who know?) and she has Cushing's. We treat her everyday. She is now nine, and even though we have only had her for two years, people think we have had her her whole life. We would truly be lost without our "old girl." Our next born is Lillie, the Wauzer (that is Schanuzer and Westie put together. At least that is what we were told she was). She is also a rescue who I drove six hours to get after finding her on PetFinder.com. She has many nicknames (Rat, Crazy, etc.) but we love her. Even when she chews EVERYTHING in sight. Including our wall.

Lillie and Charleigh. Obviously it is supper time.

 

 

I love to craft, especially with burlap. I find burlap to be so shabby chic, yet sophisticated at the same time. I can't get enought of it. I work every day to find new ways to share the burlap craze through my Etsy store, and hopefully, this blog.

 

I hope this blog allows you to have a little inspiration with burlap in your home.
