I am Alicia Tucker, the new owner and writer for Crafty Mom Blog. I am honored that Tricia asked me to take this site over and I hope that I can do as fastastic of a job as she did!

Please bear with me while I complete this move. Unfortunately and sadly, all of the posts and comments have been lost during the move, so I am starting fresh! I hope that the loyal readers out there will stick with me while I get some new and exciting things on here for you.

Please check back soon and often to see what is going on here and I look forward to talking to you in the very near future.

Happy crafting!

Alicia
