Kristen Minkler
Wife to Clayton (12 years) Mother to Jayden 9years, Rallen 5 years, and a new little one in November!
Nurse at the local clinic in Phillipsburg for 4 years and hospital for 6 years prior to that.
Love to do anything crafty. I started by doing my kids scrapbooks and it has grown from there.
Bio: I grew up on a small farm in North Central Kansas. I went to Kensington School. There was about 500 people in the town. I love being around people and kids and creating with others. I took woodworking in High School and loved that. I had started out looking in to a woodworking career but was afraid I would not be able to make it, so switched to nursing. Even though I switched career paths I still have the love of woodworking and crafting. My husband and I were out fixing fence one day and I spotted some wood that I thought would make a great sign for myself. I started my new venture with redoing things in my own house. I have made lots of signs and custom décor, up to my own bedroom furniture for myself. I had friends asking me to make them items as well. We have made several family outings to find wood out of old barns and old window frames. I love being able to bring some of the old buildings back to life in a new way. Many evenings you can find me out in the garage after the kids are in bed. It is a wonderful form of stress relief !
My most popular items right now are the custom signs that I have been creating. I also have been doing some designs on old windows, glass etching, making shelves, and some bigger items. If there is something that you would like made just ask and I can probably make it.
I am so thankful to have a husband that has helped me along with my projects and finding the old wood or great finds. I am grateful to have a hobby that I enjoy doing and also bringing special pieces to others homes. I enjoy making custom orders, and coming up with new ones that can be treasured by others as well.
I am thankful to be able to display and sell my craft items in Nicole’s shop. I enjoy visiting the shop and seeing what everybody else has created as well.
And I am happy to have her items in the shop! Here are some photos of items she currently has in the shop. More will be coming this month!
I love that many of her items are functional...with clips to hang items on, etc. She really does beautiful work.
Be sure to stop in and check out Kristen's items!
Happy November!
