I am a homeschooling mom of two girls, Emily age 8, Bella age 5, and Heath (just born on August 13, 2009!).

I am a freelance writer, indie artist and all around crafty mama. I run an online distro called Sweet Candy. I write zines, make candles, create mixed media art, paint with acrylics, and make lots of one inch buttons.
