The Deans List Blog

About

heather2

Well hello there! My name’s Heather. I’m so glad you’re here!

Here’s a little about me: I’m a wife to the funniest and most encouraging man (Mr. Dean), and a long-time lover of all things Oklahoma. I’m an avid coffee drinker, local-shop visitor, and puppy snuggler! We have two fur children of our own, Presley and Yogi, who are both great danes! We foster and volunteer to help other giant breed animals in need with Save the Giants.

It’s rare to find me without a craft in hand or scheming new decor! My passion is to turn something ordinary into something sentimental, high quality, and cherished. Crafting is my way of giving joy to myself and it’s also how I like to bring joy to others.

We currently live in a hand-me-down home, so we’re learning to making it work even though we wouldn’t have picked the floor plan (or lack of natural lighting) ourselves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you blog? Crafting and decorating has always been a big part of my life. I was looking for a creative outlet that wasn’t an Etsy shop – and I decided to start a blog! I honestly have enjoyed every single second since April 2015.

Where do you shop? I regularly shop at Lowes, Home Depot, Target, Amazon and Michaels. I’m also passionate about shopping small in my hometown.

What song do you sing at the top of your lungs when you’re alone? “This Will Be (Everlasting Love)” by Natalie Cole or “Defying Gravity” from Wicked the Musical.

What’s your favorite thing to craft? I love making colorful crafts, as well as things you can actually use in day-to-day life. You can view a few of my favorites here!

Hi There!

Hi there! My name is Heather, and I make stuff like it’s my job. I live in Oklahoma City with my husband and fur-giants. I’ve always been a lover of all things handmade - whether it’s a scarf, gift, or cookie.

I have always been an avid crafter! As a kid, I remember using my free time sewing small bags, purses, and jewelry with my best friend to start our own shop full of handmade goods. Throughout college, I DIYed almost everything I had a chance to get my hands on and developed a love for design. After I graduated college, I met and got engaged to Mr. Dean – and we had a simple, colorful and handmade wedding where I really felt all my passions came together. I started The Deans List Blog a year later, in 2015, to help me document some of my favorite things: crafts, DIY, home décor, and life.

When I’m not working on this little blog of mine, you can find me with my husband finding a new local restaurant or shop, hanging out with our two great danes, or eating ice cream like it’s going out of style.
