I'm Granny
Hello and welcome to Granny's Place! I'm Sharon, wife to an amazing husband, mother to 3 boys and stepmom to 4 from another mother. I am a 72 year old grandmother to 6 adult grandchildren. I also have 5 adorable great grandchildren . For as long as I can remember I have loved to create. I would think of things to make and instantly have to take action. I still get the same feeling of exhilaration when I think of something to make now! Its rewarding to me to be able to incorporate things into my home without spending a lot of money to do it. My goal is to inspire my great grandchildren to use their imagination to create the same way my grandmother and my mom did for me. A creative ability is used in Baking, Gardening, Cooking, Crafting as well as playing activities inside or outside sports. I hope you follow along on my journey as I try to blog ,create and have fun spending time with my family!
I grew up in a small town of Wheatfield Indiana. My parents were both from large families. I have one older sister and a younger brother. We were always surrounded by grandparents, aunts and uncles. We had lots and lots of cousin so we always knew the love of family. We have continued to stay close. I was fortunate enough to live close to my maternal and paternal grandparents! The memories of my grandma Estella and grandpa Whited are with me to this day! Watching and helping my grandma garden and her creative homemaking always amazed me. The love of gardening was passed to my father who loved flowers especially Irises. My mom also shared her love of flowers and crafting. Mom had her own Granny's Gift Shop for many years. My memories of both Grandpa's are the love of fishing, chickens and bee keeping. Hard work and simple living is what I remember about them all.
So to look back from a small child to now I would love my grandchildren and great grandchildren to remember me in ways I did of mine! So here I am at 72 wanting to create this website to pass some memories along to them with the same love and inspiration I got from mine!
In the lower section of this website is a form if you have some memories or creative ideas you would like to suggest or share on here just let me know in a email. Thanks for taking the time to read each section on my blog or shop .
