a new chapter

Hello! Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Paye. Ok.. well that isn't my real name. Truth be told I actually love my name that my parents chose for me thirty-some-odd years ago; Paulette :). But the name Paye was a childhood nickname, it's what my parents, siblings and very close friends call me.

Once I left my childhood home and started my journey as an adult, the name Paye sort of vanished from my day to day life, aside from calls back home and the occasional greeting card. As a result, the fun-loving, creative, positive and adventurous soul that was called Paye started to fade away as well.
One day I woke up and realized that I really missed the person who I had once been, and decided to try to revive that girl inside of me. I have come to understand that being an adult doesn't have to be all about responsibilities, worries and seriousness. Living each day with laughter, love and the willingness to let my inner dreams come to life has allowed me to reconnect with the innocence and creativity inside of me.

And that is why I am once again Becoming Paye.

I have created this blog to keep myself centered and focused on my goal to stay true to myself. I also want to share my journey with others, and maybe even inspire those who need it.. and if nothing else simply be a form of entertainment :)

My Etsy shop becomingpaye@etsy.com is where you can find the fruits of my labor, items that I hand made in my cozy craft studio located in my charming country home.. so please take a little looksy whenever you have a chance!
