I’m Betsy, Home Decor Enthusiast, Yorkie Mama, Crafter, Blogger, Picky Eater, Chief Mess Maker, Antique Hoarder and Graphic Designer.
Welcome to Happily Ever After, Etc!
It’s been 6 years since I started this little blog and in that time a lot has changed. I’ve made over two houses, made countless cricut projects, jumped headfirst into creating resin pieces, painted more walls than I can count and had a few big life changes.
It may sound cliche but I truly think with a little elbow grease and creativity anyone can have a house they love!
I started this blog as a way to help other newlyweds create a home they could treasure (on a budget!). While I’m still helping newlyweds decorate their homes I’m no longer a newlywed myself. Not only have I been married for 6 years, but 2 of those years were long distance since my hubby earned his wings.
I may not be a newlywed but I’m still passionate about helping people create fun crafts and beautiful homes!
Ready to meet the fam? If you’re here for any amount of time you’re likely to hear about a few of these rascals!
There’s our fetch playing, bow wearing super spoiled three year old yorkie, Little Bitt aka Bitty.
Next up is our nap taking, hidey hole finding (seriously if there’s a weird space she can crawl into to take a nap, this gal will find it) orange long-haired girl, Lily.
Then there’s our little man, Jasper. He spends most of his time chasing after one of his sisters… but isn’t that what little brother’s do?
Last but not least… the newest addition to our ramshackle little crew. Sugar is a long haired miniature dachshund that is as sweet as her name. She loves to cuddle more than anything else and is usually sitting on my lap or not far from my feet… she’s definitely a mama’s girl!
I would love if you spent a little time with me as we craft our way to beautiful homes. Check out some of my most popular posts or start from the beginning!
Still with me? If you made it this far we are definitely going to be friends! If this is your first time here try popping over to my start here page… there’s awesome things there! (If I do say so myself 😉 ) If you’ve been here before (hi mom!) then make sure to leave a comment… I want to know the names of such awesome people! I read each and every comment (usually on my phone because I just can’t wait to get home to my computer!) but if you’d like to talk to me even more try checking out my Facebook Page, comment on an Instagram Picture or head over to Pinterest… I love visuals so I’m ALWAYS there!
Or you can sign up for my e-mail list where I’ll answer your questions and send you tips every week!
Hope to see you there!

Betsy I love your blog. I have been looking around on it this afternoon. You and your husband are such a great couple. Being married is the best huh! I can’t wait for me updates on your site. Thanks for sharing.
That’s so sweet! He is the all time best husband ever!! I took a poll and it was 100% unanimous… Of course I was the only judge but that’s ok! Thanks for stopping by!
Betsy, this is a great post! I pinned it so I can remember to try these out for the next special occasion or just-because moment. Very creative ideas! I’m glad I found you on Peony!
Thanks Alex! I’m not sure which post you mean since this is the about page… But I’ll take the compliment anyways! Thanks so much for stopping by… I love to meet new peony friends!
This site is amazing. I’m so proud of you!!
