About

Hi my name is Tammy, I am the creator of The Flamingo Lady Shack. For the last 26yrs my day, (I use that term loosely) has been as a registered nurse. I have worked in med-surg, OB, ER, and now long term care. I have traveled and worked with amazing people, but my true love has always been drawing, painting, DIY projects, and trying new craft ideas. I like trying out new products, especially first time projects.I have a busy life so I usually only get to dabble at night and weekends when I have time, but every moment I look at things with the, “What could I make out of that!” Attitude. I am not a throw away type of person, I as my kids would say am a hoarder of all things LOL. I live to upcycle, recycle, and repurpose!!  I am always painting or crafting and giving to family and friends because it makes me happy. Recently to support my ever expanding craft hoarding habit I opened a Etsy shop, FlamingoLadyShack ,due the encouragement of my family. Remember it’s new and I am adding items as I go!

Because arts/crafts make me happy, when we moved out onto a farm, my husband spent a lot of time converting an old garage to my happy place, my Craft Shack! It’s not perfect, but its perfect for me! What more could a crafter want, but space, heat, internet, TV, and plug ins !! LOL!

I have always loved anything and everything arts and crafts related. I love crafting in my, “Craft Shack.” It brings me joy sharing my love of arts and crafts with my kids and grandkids. We are always looking to learn new things and try new products. Please join me on my first blogging journey!!!!!!
