Hello and Welcome to Kims*Kreations!

As you may have guessed, my name is Kim and I love to Kreate.

I am a stay at home mom (part time Postal Clerk) who married her best friend (he was my neighbor when I was 12) 13 years ago and we share our lives with 2 beautiful children (Boy 16 and Girl 11 and let's not forget King Kazzpurr:


We have 3 acres of land here in Maine which is covered with Lady Slippers (pink and I found 5 WHITE ones this year) wild blueberries, black raspberries and hazelnut bushes and I am in heaven being outside playing lumberjack or getting my hands dirty.

I have been crocheting since I was 10 and consider it a lost art which I take great pride in every piece I make. Some pieces I consider masterpieces and will never make again and others I make many of. I consider myself a perfectionist when it comes to my crochet work.

Lately I have been Kreating beaded plant hangers (see link below).

As far as gardening, our soil is very acidic and I tried to garden when we first moved here 8 years ago and got frustrated with it. Last summer I felt very depressed and knew I was missing something which was my love of plants/gardening so I took it up again. I fell in love with daylilies and have begun my new addiction with them. I hope to hybridize for the first time next summer.

I can't grow anything from seed. I don't know why but I have the hardest time no matter what I do. I am OK with cuttings (sometimes) but actually prefer to deal with an established plant. Maybe my thumb will turn from brown to green someday? *LOL*

Last summer I got more involved with the Garden Web and had alot of fun doing trades. I have met some of the nicest people here! This winter I participated in my first Round Robin/Secret Pal and it has just been an overwelmingly touching experience for me.

I have included links below my exchange information to all my pages which includes my crochet, plant hangers, and plants. Please check them out. Feedback is ALWAYS appreciated.


My Current Exchange Information

Please note that this list is simply a list for me to keep track of what I currently have growing. Some may not be available for trade as of yet. I like to trade ROOTED cuttings or whole plants as I am not good with seeds and only like to root my own plants. Recently I had my first experience with sending my end of a trade and NEVER receiving from the person. After much thought I have had to come to the realization that I can't afford to send my end and not receive anything in return. I only have a few plants to share and these plants mean alot to me and so does honesty. I ask that when trading with me that you send your end first and once received I will send my end. I ALWAYS send my end via Priority Mail w/Delivery Confirmation and ask for the same in return.
