Suzette writes, “I am so honored Holy Family CCW loves my creations. I have always loved birdhouses and nature. Living in Star Valley with all its beauty has inspired some of my creations. I found using materials such as pine cones, bark, and rocks create a woodsy, natural look; like looking at a cozy home nestled in the woods. While traveling through Germany, I noticed the thatched roofs and "gingerbread trimmings" on the homes. I have always loved antiques and the Old World look. I can't really say how long it takes to make my Woodland creations, because each is unique and one of a kind. I start by choosing the house style. This is based on the season and/or holiday. Then it is painted to also match the season and occasion. Once the color is determined, I have a visual of what I believe it should look like. Some colors lend themselves to more of a rustic look, while others are more traditional. The Thomas Kinkade paintings have inspired my Christmas collection. I started this endeavor about one year ago. My birdhouses are currently for sale at two of the local shops in Star Valley. Jim and I have attended Holy Family over the past several years while traveling back and forth to Utah. However, in August 2019, we became residents of Star Valley. We are looking forward to making Holy Family our parish home.”
