I am a whimsical style artist that loves to draw cutesy things. I love to draw nursery rhymes, classical books, putting the characters and settings in my own artwork. I am a stay at home mother to five, with three left in the nest. I love the fact that I have rekindled the artsy side of me. (thank you Laur). I love all things natural. (ie. anything God created) I have recently found interest in using plants for medicinal purpose and learning more about being self-sufficient. We have six horses, seven dogs, and four cats. I homeschool my children and have for 11 years. My greatest passion is... MICE I love mice drawings, mice figures, mice clothing accessories, WHATEVER. I have also found a love of Chipmunks. Not necessarily Alvin and friends but real live chipmunks. They are just tooooo cute! My favorite season is Autumn, all the brilliant colors and the smell of pumpkin spice. My favorite color at the moment is BRINK hehee (the combination of brown and pink) I look forward to sharing all sorts of artsy things with this group. Thanks for letting me be a part of it.

I love Christian contemporary and country music, Jazz and Anything quiet. My newest love is the Indian flute music. so soothing and great for creative thinking.

Redwall series, the mismantle chronicles, Narnia series. Tea Shop Mysteries, anything having to do with MICE be it children's books or not. My little Primer (since I am the author of that one I guess I'd better list it.) I like collecting children's classics, trying to keep them alive for my children and their children.

Pretty much anything on the Hallmark channel. A walk to remember, Notebook, Hope Floats, An American Tail. Westerns and Classics.

Law and Order, Without a Trace, CSI, and NCIS

I guess my first passion is drawing I have really grown to love Handmade postcards and ATC's too. I don't have a FAVORITE craft per say. I love them all, and, if I don't know how to do them I will work until I do. I also love to do Shrinky dinks and mini stuffies. Since being a member of Swap-bot I have branched out quite a bit and have even made a few matchbox swaps. I am here to learn and craft and craft and learn. All the fun I have been having here is wearing off on my children and now they want to swap too.

First off I love God, my husband, my children, my extended family, and all of my friends. I love MICE!!!! mice with acorns, any acorn shaped things, the colors pink and brown combined on things, writing children's stories and I have written Children's curriculum based from Classic books, I love drawing and am learning how to paint with watercolors. I love writing people the old fashion way... Snail Mail. :-) I also love to drink tea's (herbal and fruity) and flavored coffee's. I love chocolate but since I am diabetic don't eat much of it.
