I am a 58 yo old grandma of one, soon to be two, in May 09.I am crazy in love with the wonderful kind guy I have been married to for 36 years,LOL! I have 4 grown children 36 to 24years old.3 dogs and a cat, all old, and I look after my 87 yo Mum.

I am learning to Soul Journal and love altered books, my attempts can be seen on my website.

I am very particular about meeting my commitments and only wish to deal with people who feel the same way. I prefer my ATC's to have some personal input from the designer and not just stickers on card,LOL!, getting fussy in my old age!

I like different music as I am aging I prefer softer easy listening or light classical.
