I have a BFA degree. I have taught children the basics of fine art, I have restored catholic icons, painted mice for Hallmark, a bit of graphic work and belong to Methuen Art Institute. I have been getting some of my photography and water color into various shows. Very exciting. Also, trying to collect collage supplies and art supplies to continue various mediums. I want to learn weaving and spinning but I can't afford the loom or wheel so hoping I can find one on freecycle.

I love decorating my patio with vintage stuff, flowers and fake flowers, I love rod iron, metal and wicker. I love new art supplies, I love the feel of them. I collect ephemera, I love to decorate my wardrobe with earrings, shoes and pocket books. Even though I am middle aged, I am stylish as my kids tell me. I belong to an art group and participate in various classes. I am always using my Sony digital camera and entering photos into exhibits. I make my own jewelry and design it, I have many herbs and love collecting them and putting them into my kitchen wreath, I dry out petals for collage and dry them out for potpourri. I love eucalyptus, cranberry candles, and patchouli. I wear makeup, scarves and various belts. My favorite places to go is the beach, hiking, antique shops and art galleries! I buy books all of the time in the christian section, from the craft and art section and magazines that deal with collage, Rowan magazine-(knitting), and beading and jewelry making. I love to eat shrimp, pizza, ice cream, flavored bagels, and pumpkin and carrot cake muffins. Coffee is my favorite drink but do drink herbal drinks. Amp is my favorite energy drink. I am a people person and minister in the church with my husband who is a pastor. I have homeschooled for over 18 years with a son in the air force, one son in bible college (looks like Matt Damon or so everyone tells me), one son in a rock bank (getting to be known), a son who is a cook and skate boarder, and a younger daughter who is into fashion and art. I love the Lord with my whole heart and love giving.

I love christian music, classical music, jazz, contemporary. I listen to the radio alot because cd's are expensive.

I love action pact with suspense and war movies.

Amnerican Idol, 24, Mystery Woman, Saturday night TBN missionary movies. I watch the news and the cooking show. Very busy, so tv is not my biggie.

I love collage, wreath making with herbs, decorating with junk, jewelry making, trying to learn to spin and weave, and am a beginner knitter. It is a ball making scarves in all different yarns. I am working on two different shawls, dish clothes and am working on a hand stitched piece of embroidery work of a light house in navy blue thread.
