My Story
My name is Alyssa but some call me Lyss, Mom, Babe, Farmers Wife or "That Tik Tok Girl".
But ultimately I'm. a Child of God, too stubborn for my own good, lover of Dr. Pepper, most likely mentally renovating my home, and in desperate need of a manicure.
MEET THE GIRL BEHIND THE DRILL
I was a hairdresser by trade with an extremely determined personality that was convinced I could build a table for my husband for wayyyyyyy cheaper than buying one. Mind you, this was back when we were dating and somehow despite many mistakes made, moments of frustration and some tears. I freaking did it! There are no words to describe how awesome finishing that first table all by myself was! I instantly fell in love and found my new passion. Something in my soul was ignited!
