Once upon a time...

Don't all great stories start like that? Well here is the story of how Scraps2Love came about....

I started out as just an ordinary mom of two little boys, when one day, the magical stork came and bestowed upon our family, a beautiful little princess. She was pretty, smart, and VERY girly.

One morning, while searching the internet for beautiful dresses for my little princess, I came across some hand made boutique items and thought, I can make those! So my sewing journey began!

I created dresses, twirl skirts, capri sets, and so on and so forth for several years, until one day it all came to a stop.

Why you ask? Well frankly, I felt like I got into a rut.

I took about a year off from creating, when the twitch started happening. I kept thinking...oh I could do this with this fabric and that with this fabric, until one day when I was surrounded by piles of scraps, with my ideas running through my head, my daughter came to me and said,

"Mom, you have to much fabric and scraps! You really should do something
with them."
So I asked,
"Well, what to do you suggest?"
"Why not make something people will love from these scraps?" she said.

So after thinking for a little bit and running through some ideas, we came up with the name Scrap2Love. She picks the fabrics that I use and I do all the sewing.

I think we have really found our niche with the Scrappy Dolls. It is something we both enjoy creating.

The End...well it's not really the end of our story, it's just the beginning! :)
