Hello, pleased to meet you. My name is Ellen Smith. I am first and foremost a very proud SAHM of 4 children and am the wife of the best electrician I've ever known. My children's initials make up the MAMA part of my online craft and gift shop, MAMA's Country Shed. The privilege of staying home to raise my children has given me many opportunities. Some of these include being the chairperson of the fundraising committee at my children's school, maintaining my online webstore, making candles and crafts not just for my shop, but for wholesale and consignment shops around the US and Canada and being one of the Swap Cordinators for the Prim Mart online community. I am also the proud designer of the original Life Candles and Lamps. Although I enjoy making my candles and lamps, I love creative writing. I now have the extreme honor of writing for Beneath The Willow Tree and Creative Times Magazine. Because of these writing opportunities, I have started to work on a fun new book called, "A Little Left Of Normal", as well as a primitive cookbook. My life is full of a mixture of chaos, fun and laughter. Some days I'm not sure if I'm coming or going. But with my husband, kids, parents and sisters by my side, I am enjoying the journey. I hope you will enjoy my writing and find a smile upon your heart.

My name is Terri and I live in the country woods of Maine with my sweet hubby, son and daughter! I work full time as a 2nd grade teacher and when the weekend comes along, I craft into the wee hours of the morning. I sell a variety of primitive, vintage and altered art creations. You can find my goods at local craft shows, on ebay, etsy, and on my two websites. I love crows, snowmen, and old mason jars. I rarely pass by a yard sale and my favorite thing to do is turning a piece of trash into a treasure!

Hi, I’m Joanne Darcy. My husband of 33 years and I live in Western Massachusetts where we are the proud parents of 3 grown children and a wonderful lab/huskie mix named Penny. I’ve been sewing and ‘crafting’ for as long as I can remember. I was fortunate to have a Mother and Grandmother who were both very talented ladies. I began doing craft shows in 1978 and knew that first day it was my niche in life. It gave me the opportunity to stay home and watch my babies grow, it satisfied my passion for sewing and creating, and helped with the family finances. A few years ago I opened my website which is primarily country home décor and am very proud that it continues to do well and reach people around the world.

My name is Tina and I live on NW Ohio. I am an artist and crafter, and have degrees in Art and Education. I love oil painting, creating stained glass, photography, and graphic design. Out of a love of things Country and Primitive, I opened my online retail site, Pip Berry Place, and I craft many of the products that I sell there. Later I opened two country primitive marketplaces as well as a resource site for online business owners. I am also the owner of two WAHM advertising sites, and I am a client assistant for DIYeStores. I love anything that lets me be creative, and if it lets me work online too, all the better. And to round out my very busy life, I spend time with my loving and endlessly supportive husband of 25 years, John, our grown daughter, Jennifer, and our grandson, Dylan.

I am a married mom of 3 girls. I live in Syracuse, UT. I have been crafting since 1995. I started out as a decorative painter and have several painting books published. I discovered the Prim world in 2005 and fell in love with dolls and fabric art! I started to create sewing patterns later that same year. I enjoy the challenge of making new and unique sewing patterns. :)
