Taking Time to Enjoy Life

Ok, so as the title indicates, my name is Elizabeth Verona Frame, but most people call me Beth.   I live in Louisville, KY with my husband, Scott and our dog, Roxie!

I’m originally from the Louisville area, but went to Murray State University (in Western Kentucky), then participated in National Student Exchange my sophomore year and attended Hunter College in NYC and completed my internship at UBS Financial in NYC.  After college I had the opportunity to become a bank examiner for the US Treasury Department Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and moved to Charleston, WV.  I met my husband in Charleston and after several years the travel required as a bank examiner became very challenging.  It was a difficult decision to leave the OCC, but I had a wonderful opportunity to transition to community banking by working at a bank in Charleston until about a year and a half ago when I had the chance to come back to my home state to work at a bank in Louisville.  I don’t think I realized how great Louisville was as a kid, but my husband and I have had a great time exploring the city so far!

So during the last year and a half we moved to a new state, started new jobs, I’ve been in school, we moved into a rental, sold our house in WV, bought a house in KY and a ton of other “smaller” scale events.  Needless to say, I’ve needed an outlet!  I’ve always enjoyed crafts and such so I decided to make a craft room in our new house.  My projects are by no means great artistic pieces, but it is fun to spend time doing something other than work and school from time to time.  Here are a few of my recent projects.   Please keep in mind, I am a banker, not an artist 🙂

 

I also took a cupcake decorating class at a local craft store and have tried my hand at a few cakes based on what I learned.

 

It’s all fun, but don’t worry…I plan to keep my day job-haha!
