Meet the Maker-JBirds & Sonshine

This week we meet Jbirds & Sonshine's maker Jaelynne Wormenor. Jaelynne is a school teacher and a lover of words. She is a loving Wife and Mother whom loves to create. She combined her love of scrapbooking & words to create beautiful block art. Using customer's names or meaningful words she turns them into home décor to brighten a room or encourage the soul. With wood and paper and all kinds of embellishments she creates personalized unique art.
 

What are the most popular sets to make?

I have a lot of fun making all kinds of block sets. Creating a set for a new baby born is super fun. But I’ve also been enjoying making sets with last names either for as a wedding gift for a customer or an anniversary celebration. I love looking back at all the different sets I’ve made. I love all the colours and how they can brighten a room! 

Where in Manitoba are you from and where do you reside today?

I was born and spent my first 3 years of life in Winnipeg and then my family moved East of the city to Oakbank, which is where I grew up and went to school. Since getting married I have come back to my ‘city’ roots. I love visiting the country but I’m also a city girl at heart. I love the diversity, all the social interaction.

We asked Jaelynne what is her favorite thing about living in Manitoba.

One of my fave things about Manitoba?? Hmmm... besides the friendly people, the coke slurpees...? I love the variety of the seasons. Although I am a sunshine girl who loves the beach and vitamin D...I think the variety of the seasons makes me appreciate the sun that much more!! I Just wish the winter was 4 months shorter!!

If you think you would enjoy Art from Jbirds and Sonshine or know someone who would, please email Jaelynne at jaelynne@hotmail.com or 204-261-1491
