I'm Chelsea, I have an obsession with anything creative aka cooking, crafting, and building... yada yada yada. I am 23; I have a major in business marketing, I am a wife to my high school
sweetheart, the mother to an AWESOME puppy named Wallace and I'm the owner of my own business! An ice cream shop across the street from the beach in Gulf Shores, Alabama called Island Ice Cream and Treats. How could life get any better? I love my job, most of my customers are happy ones and that makes me happy! My ice cream shop is only open half the year; so to fill all my other time I decided to start another business called The Green Gift Company. This is something that I love doing and defiantly doesn't feel like a "job" to me; selling my crafts, handmade items and personalized gifts online. I can honestly say I sell two of the “happiest” products in the world! What’s better than ice cream and gifts?

I have always LOVED giving gifts. At Christmas I am more excited about seeing my friends and family open their gifts than I am about opening my own. Every time a friend or a family member would come to my house they would look around at my decorations or crafts and say, “You could sell these!” The same thing happened at bridal showers, birthdays, house warming parties and Christmas when I would show up with my handmade gifts. After a while I decided to listen to them and open up my own Etsy Shop. www.etsy.com/shop/TheGreenGiftCompany Making the gifts you see in my Etsy shop make me HAPPY too!

So that brings me to writing this blog. I have wanted to have one for quite some time now but never could get motivated to. I started one about a year ago but only wrote two entries so does that even count? Starting The Green Gift Company has motivated me to start another one. I set up my blog thinking It could be a way to get my products out there and before I had even written my first post I decided this blog will NOT be all about my business, although it will have some of my business life sprinkled in.

I am going to write about EVERYTHING I am interested in. Of course that will include my businesses (The Green Gift Company and Island Ice Cream). But it will also include cooking, decorating, crafting, baking, posts about my husband, my puppy, my family… pretty much a blog about my entire life. So stick around, hopefully you will be able to relate to the things I write about. <3
