I’ve been told more times than I can count “You don’t look like a welder”. What a welder is ‘supposed’ to look like, I’m not too sure but I am a Journeyman Welder from British Columbia, Canada.

Now also a mom, this is my adventure figuring out how to be good at BOTH those jobs.

I want to empower and inspire anyone to give welding a try. This site is all about things I’m into and want to share. This is inspiration for myself to inspire others.

Get excited! If your already a pro, I know there  is something here that can help create ease in your life.

Let the sparks fly,

Lisa
