Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom

Jamie Sanders, a native Texan, left the corporate world behind after having children. Now a mother of 2, she is the blogger behind Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom. Jamie started her blog a few years ago as a creative outlet for her many “scattered” interests. Her blog is a testament to her love of all things crafty; cooking, sewing, DIY projects and kids crafts. When not focused on her husband or children, Jamie can be found either in her perpetually messy craft room sewing and crafting up a storm or in the kitchen attempting to create simple, healthy and budget friendly family meals. Her biggest hope is that some of what she does can help inspire others to sew, cook and create!
