A little about the folks behind Rebel Child....

I'm just an Oklahoma girl living in a Texas world.  I like to say that my parents dragged me kicking and screaming across Red River when I was 12 and I still have red mud coursing through my veins.  To say I'm a proud Okie is an understatement.  Not that I don't love Texas, too.  This is where I met the love of my life almost 30 years ago. I guess you could say it hasn't been all bad.  

It's been a dream of mine to open my own shop since my teens. My mom and I often talked about opening a fabric store. We both sewed.  A lot. Then we talked about a craft store. And a scrapbooking store. We had big dreams but it seemed the timing was never right. My mom passed away a few years ago so she won't get to see the dream finally come to life but I'm sure she's with us in spirit. 

Rebel Child started as a hobby and grew from there. My husband, also known as the love of life, actually thought of the name. My dad, a preacher, who passed away shortly after my mom, always said that, of his two children, I was his rebel child.  That, and my love for the music of the late, great Toby Keith, and a line from one of his songs, gave life to my dream.  (In case you're wondering the line is "she's a rebel child and a preacher's daughter." Yep, that's me.)

That's just a peek into my world.  Take a look around and message me with any questions.  Just a note...I do work a full time job so messages may not be answered until after 5 pm, central time but I promise I will never ignore you!!
