About the girl


HI. My name is kimbo and I'm a craft hoarder. I have a unnatural attachment to my glue gun. I like crafts that are fast, easy and cute. I do more than just glue --but the glue gun represents me as a mom AND a crafter..whether it be making hair bows or gluing batman's head back on...

  I am an Idahoan and I love potatoes; fried, baked scalloped, mashed....whatever. Blackfoot is where i was born and raised (and if you just finished that with the theme song from fresh prince of bel air..then YOU ,my friend, are in the right place) but i live in Pocatello now! (oh..and i should clarify that i went to snake river...NOT Blackfoot...it matters.)

I have been married to this man (lover isn't really his name..his name is karl. lover just sounds better)
                                                                           for 9 years. (sometimes 9 verrrrry long years)


I have three kids....

8 going on 16

six

TERRIBLE FOUR
(ain't they cute?)
and a few baldspots from where I have ripped my hair out. love them to death but every once in awhile I have a SERENITY NOW moment. I am currently thinking of crafting a cage for them...pvc pipe...do you thing that would work?

Things I love:
no..not myself...my glue gun
all things crafty
chocolate
my family
quotes
good books (as if I have time to read)
super saturdays
painting murals
holiday socks
my church
sewing
my iphone
Reality Television shows
Summer
hot chocolate
quoting seinfeld and the office
Sharpies
Panda Express
a movie with a good twist (or anything with a hot guy)
Date night
PINTEREST
disney anything
getting comments on my blog
getting new followers on my blog
sleeping in
SNL
Thrift stores
The color pink
My mother's chicken noodle soup
My electric blanket
rain
board games
my silhouette






                  

Things I hate

hot glue gun burns
being sick
messes
seafood
x-box
gatoraid
pie
science
mexican food
biting fingernails
talking on the phone


and to get to know me reallly really well...you can check out the interviews I have done

    You are so cute....fun! I've just starting into the blogging world and noticed yours because I believe that a glue gun is a necessity in every woman's toolbox! (and plenty of extra glue sticks on hand) I also noticed you are from Idaho...me too! I live in Cedar City now, but grew up amongst the potatoes near Blackfoot Idaho. I went to Snake River High....oooh ya...go Panthers! Cute blog!

    Hi Kimbo!
    You could use the finger-tips from your daughter's "Halloween" gloves to make finger puppets with the kids!

    Hey girlie I was just reading your post on the stuffed animals and turning them into scarves! So cute by the way! When I saw the picture of your craft store, I was like no way is this girl from Idaho I know that store! It is Sierra Crafts right? My dad's entire family lives in the Pocatello area and that is my favorite craft store to go to! Anyway I just thought I would share my excitement with you! I hope you have a great day!

    I stumbled across your blog from a pin on Pinterest.....I love your crafts. I'm a crafty mom too. I saw you also are from Pocatello, Idaho? I was born there and lived there for most my childhood. I wish I could visit. It's so beautful there. I now live in Arizona, which is a huge difference in weather.

    Just wanted to say that I'd stopped by, as I just acquired a glue gun and was looking for ways to put it to use (I actually glued four glass bottles from the recycle pile together because I could, ha) Anyways, your writing style cracked me up, just thought I'd share :-) Will be checking in, so... uh... yeah! I guess that's all I had! Nice blog :-)

    freakin hilarious :-) So nice to have a rummage through such an unpretentious blog. Nicely done hot glue girl. If I am ever in Idaho I will be stealing your curling wand and michael jackson glove. That will be tricky from Hawaii, but you never know..

    Nice to meet you! I saw you on Suzy's Artsy Craftsy Sitcom. My mom and brother live in Blackfoot! I try to head up there every other year from Oklahoma to see them. Mom is originally from Pocatello. Small world.
