Hi, my name is Cheryl and although I was born in Katy, Texas, my family moved to the Texas Hill Country as fast as we could. Living in one of the greatest small towns located in Hill Country has always been precious to me and I am so blessed to have been able to grow up here. I was able to grow up swimming and fishing in the Guadalupe and Medina rivers, and hunt in surrounding counties. I participated in 4-H activities and band while in school which allowed me to travel all over the state of Texas.

For many years I have always wanted to create items with horseshoes but never had the chance. I met a new friend who is a Farrier and I got to talking with him, next thing I knew he brought me buckets of used horseshoes. I then had to think of what to do with them so experimenting away I went. I learned new ways to see how to clean them to remove any dirt, rocks and sometimes nails from them so I can paint and decorate them. It may be a little more work to clean used horseshoes but I like the idea of repurposing them. To me, it's one less thing just lying around that could be used to make something beautiful and meaningful to someone. Something that can make you smile when you look at it.
