About Me

I'm 49, married to a great guy, a mom to a lovely daughter, and a brand new granny to a wonderful little boy.

Adorable Sy

Most people would tell you that I'm generally a nice person. However, I will not be bullied by anyone. I will not engage in any drama. I'm too old for childish games. All I want from this site is to allow my creative side to shine and enjoy myself. I have no hidden agendas.

Feel free to "friend" me on Facebook. I update there quite a bit. I'd also love to have some new Farmville Neighbors. Yep...I'm addicted. Moooooo!

I live in a busy town in Northern Virginia, very close to Washington, DC. I've lived in this area for most of my life. I love this being close to DC for all it offers, like the Smithsonian Museums, Monuments, and other historical things.

I have a 3 year old Yorkie named Ginger. She's an amazing companion. I also have a 6 month old Pacific Parrotlet named Pekoe. He's a beautiful light blue color.

Favorite Crafts

Although I am not doing much crafting these days, I throughly enjoy making Dotee Dolls. I also like to make Note Cards on occasion.

I do a great deal of crocheting and enjoy making baby blankets. Several of them can be seen on my Flickr.

I enjoy rubber stamping and scrap booking, too, but admittedly, I'm not very good at either.

I'm going to teach myself how to make a hand bound journal just for giggles and grins.

Another 'craft' that I enjoy is pen-palling. I love writing letters and getting to know new friends via snail mail!

This is my list of flakers. I'm really tired of putting forth a great deal of effort and time in a swap and then being flaked upon by irresponsible and uncaring people. I don't usually call people out, but being flaked upon in two big dotee swaps has given me a need to let people know of their dishonesty.

@smilesandsunshine for the 12 Months of Dotees Swap

Hello dear! I got your letter in the mail today! ♥ We are suppose to get snow today (could we PLEASE get snow during the WEEK, and not the weekend?), so maybe you sent some my way after all! I look forward to writing you back! hugs

That is One CUTE Baby!!!!

cbpoole on Feb 3, 2010:

We got like half an inch to an inch of snow, followed by lots of ice! Our power went out Saturday, then our heating unit quit working. All that over the ice! I can't imagine what would happen to our small town if we got the snow you are getting. The schools were closed Monday & Tuesday and some had a delay today. It's crazy! Haha!

cbpoole on Feb 3, 2010:

Stop hogging the snow, please! :)
