Summer Donily: Crafts Contributor

I feel so blessed that God gave me the talent of being creative. I feel the most myself when I am creating something new and fun! My two children, Madelynn 9 years old and Brysen 3 years old, have started to develop a love of crafting as well.  It’s not unusual for my husband Rob to find us all upstairs in my craft studio with glue and glitter from head to toe. It should have been a vow in at our wedding; thou shall love thy wife even with glitter in her hair and a glue gun on her hip. Thou shall not ask to see crafting receipt and say "looks great sweetie" to all my crazy ideas!

The Sisters 4 Say More is More: Fashion and Home Contributors

Sister#1, Selina; Sister#2, Sophie; Sister#3, Olivia; and Sister#4, Elise

We are four real life sisters who share a love of creativity, clothes, and fabulous finds. We are separated by miles and miles (and maybe a couple of states)  We were raised on a meager budget so we learned to make the best of what we had. Thrifting, repurposing and sister swaps helped us make the most of our wardrobes then and we are sticking to it now. We love putting together stylish looks for less and by less we mean less than 5 dollars. Check out our daily blog: The Sisters 4 Say More is More.
