Welcome

Hi there! My name is Rae. I am the mother of 4 (2 sons, a step-son and a step-daughter). I have 2 daughters-in-law and 4 of the most beautiful grandchildren (3 boys and 1 girl) the world will ever set eyes upon. I'm mommy to kitty, Holly Meowlightly (named after Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's) and guinea pigs, Cookie and Sugar. I am also married to the man of my dreams.

Why Brilliant Ideas and Ramblings? I'm glad you asked. One of my favorite sayings is "Oh, I just had a brilliant idea!" (thus, people letting me know I am crazy) and I love to travel. In 2010, I had the good fortune of relocating to the beautiful Pacific-Northwest. Washington State. Since I have been here, I have laid eyes on some of the most breathtaking and stunning areas I have ever encountered. I have also discovered my love of learning to craft and make things people enjoy. I want to share both.

Sit back and enjoy the travels and projects (and major flops) I undertake.
