About the Author:
Amber is a stay at home mom of two fiesty little girls. "I have a wonderful husband, Ryan, that puts up with all of my craft and sewing projects all over the house." You can view many of her projects on her blog, Red Mommy Crafts. She has a degree in History from Miami University and plans to teach once her girls are of school age. She has been sewing and doing crafts for as long as she can remember.

"Ever since my girls were old enough to sit up they have been on my lap while I sew. I love making quilts but only get to make about one per year. I really love to bake. I guess that comes natural from my great grandmother. If I ever had the chance I would love to open my very own dessertry."
