OCD Lady...

Hi. I'd like to take a minute to introduce myself and let you know the motivation behind this blog I'm starting… OCD Lady.  My name is Lindsay Shannon Holcroft. I am a 28 year old woman who resides in beautiful, sunny southern California: Oceanside to be precise. I am married to my best friend and the man of my dreams and together we have a 4 month old baby. I am a creative person. I am a dreamer.

For as long as I can remember, I have loved to organize, create and decorate. When I was a child and shared a bedroom with my younger sister, it would drive me absolutely mad that she could not keep everything in it's place. I wanted our room to look perfect all of the time. When I became old enough to stay home alone, my parents would return to a redecorated house. I would rearrange the furniture, reorder the pictures and reorganize the cupboards. I can remember my Mother asking me at a very young age where the toaster had gone. I let her know that it was in the cupboard where it should be kept because it didn't look good out on the counter… duh! Maybe that's why when I told my parents that I was going to start a decorating business and blog, it came as no surprise to them.

I did not always know that I wanted to be a decorator. I first studied fashion at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. Consequently, this is not my first rodeo or blog. As a fashion major, I created and authored a blog dedicated to fashion shoots that I had styled. I am thankful that I have it to look back on and smile and laugh at. www.flirtyfearlessfashion.blogspot.com

When I realized I wanted to invest in a career in decorating and organizing, I wondered why I hadn't gone in that direction in the first place. As children, you are always told to pick a career that you are passionate about, something that comes naturally to you and that is enjoyable for you: for me, this is it. I've created this blog to keep a library of all of the projects that I am constantly working on. As a stay at home Mom, I need something to keep my creative brain running properly and as a budding business owner I need a creative way to display my experience. My posts will consist of organizing, creating and decorating… I'm the O.C.D. Lady.

So, here goes nothing or everything?!
