I'm a wife to an amazing husband, a mommy to an adorable little man and one little lady on the way, designer/creator, as well as a small business owner.
-Please tell us who you are.
My name is Kayla (a.k.a.
wife and mommy) and I blog over at Love Sparkle Pretty. I share my love for
"pretty" things with DIY projects, wedding/event planning, floral design, styled
photo shoots, bridal pieces, event décor and lots of inspiration! I love to find
beauty in simplicity and magnifying it! I believe in following your dreams no
matter how crazy they may seem because God gave you your gifts and talents for a
good reason.
-When did you start creating your beautiful Hair
Accessories?
When I got married to my wonderful husband in 2010, I created
flower hairpieces for my bridesmaids as well as many other details for the big
day. It all really started there! I opened up my Etsy shop and created pieces
part time while going to nursing school, work, starting a family and everything
in between. I ultimately left work and nursing school to do what I am really
passionate about and work full time on growing Love Sparkle Pretty. I am
currently enrolled in a floral design class, I will be working on a certificate
for wedding/event planning and I have been working with more photographers to
create visions for their shoots. It's been quite an adventure and I love
it!
-What is your inspiration?
I think my initial inspiration is rooted from my grandmother
who has always been so creative. When I was younger, I would go with her to all
of her craft shows and I loved it! Now, when I get inspiration to create new
pieces, it seems to hit me in all sorts of ways. For example, I can be inspired
by just sketching ideas in a notebook, looking through magazines, strolling
antique shops, playing with different fabrics, browsing blogs, and even just
sitting under a tree in silence. When an idea for a project tugs at my heart,
it's a pretty amazing feeling and I don't want to ever lose that!
-What else do you like to do for
fun?
I love to spend time with my little family and take walks,
watch movies, and play board games. Snowboarding is a favorite past time in the
winter and sticking my toes in the sand is a must in the summer. If I get "alone
time," usually you can find me sipping a hot soy chai, strolling antique shops,
and frolicking through aisles and aisles of fabric…is that weird?
-Tell me one funny thing about you.
Well, it's not so "funny" to me but to my husband, he finds
it hilarious. My second toe is longer than my big toe (like quite a bit longer).
I think it's pretty normal but others have made comments about it. I just say,
"it means I'm intelligent!" lol
-Tell me one of your dreams.
If you mean a future goal of mine then I definitely have an
answer! I would LOVE to open a sweet little boutique with beautiful gardens
where you can have tea parties, weddings, bridal showers, and other lovely
celebrations. This same boutique would be my wedding and event planning "home"
that also showcases many of the designs and creations made by me. One day…
