I love crafting of almost any sort. Especially though I love painting, jewelry making, sewing and embroidery. I have tried all sorts of things. I love doing craft shows. I love deep dark rich colors--- Plums, dark chocolate brown and dark green.

I am a Mom of 6 fabulous kids! I love being a mom. 2 son in laws and 2 beautiful granddaughters!!!! I love being a Grandma even more! It is so much better! You just get to smooch, spoil and be the nice one and then send them home!!!! I have been married for 24 amazing years! To a man I met when I was 13! Love at first sight I must say! His profession is a firefighter and that allows me to be able to stay home and do the things I love. We have 3 dogs, a toy poodle (mine) a dalmation and a mutt dog (both my husbands). The mutt dog- Pongo recently passed away-- SAD DAY!

I love to read. I really love series type books-- Harry Potter, Fablehaven, Twilight you know--- fun light reading. I also like to read books that are uplifting and inspiring, ones that just make you feel good and leave you glad that you spent the time to read them.

MMMMMM... food? LOVE IT! especially chinese! PF Changs Crispy Honey Shrimp--- to die for! Or A China A Go Go's Orange chicken!Sweets of almost any kind!!! Mhmmmm! Homemade vanilla icecream! I would eat that everyday if it were possible! Brownies, cinnamon rolls, ginger cookies--- Almost anything baked! I cannot however bake anything edible! It seems as if I can bake really good hockey pucks though! And then there is candy-- sweedish fish, jawbreakers, twizzlers, gummybears--- I am pretty sure Heaven has a lot of sugar in it! But the very best all time favorite is homemade caramels!!!! WOW!

I love to collect different things--- one moment it will be pieces of fabric, the next it will be scrapbooking supplies. My kids tell me that I have addiction problems-- they just go in cycles. But my all time favorite thing to collect is frogs. Any type- Beads, paper, fabric, outdoor art---- any type. They remind me of my Mom- she died about 7 yrs. ago. So they are like recieving little hugs from her.
