I like spending time outdoors! I love working In my flower garden (container garden), knitting, crocheting and sewing. I am a transplant from Louisiana to Virginia and love my Cajun background. I have a dog named Alex. He is a full blood Beagle. He can talk (to me).
My husband is retired Navy. He is a sweetheart! I love collecting SNOWMAN and ROOSTERS for my home. I love long walks on the beach.

I enjoy playing around with photography (one of my pics on my avatar). I enjoy reading "self-help" books, or anthing positive and uplifting! I like going thrift store shopping...and finding all sorts of goodies. I love trying all sorts of gourmet coffees and teas. I also love having an asortment of flavored creamors available. I must say I am a bath & body lover. Shop for nice body sprays (toooo) often, but love the way the scents seem to rejuvinate, or relax me! I also use scented handcream all day at work...seems to lift my spirits during a long day! Candles! Oh Yah..I love candles that smell fruity, woodsy, or just plain o'le clean!

I enjoy reading self-help books. Dr. Phil Mc Graw is my current love! Anything with a positive outlook. I also enjoy my house decorating magazines. I am a huge fan of Martha Stewart. I also like to read about gardening, how to's...and how to use my garden in flower arranging.

My favorite color is Blue. I also like a yellow mixed in sometimes for brightness. Purples/Lavendars. Burgundy and gold are also colors I have used in my home's decorating theme.(Because of my roosters!)

I am a journaling freak! I love keeping journals on everything from my gardening to...my personal life..and also my crafting! I like writing in my journals with different colored ink pens ...(blue, pink, green, purple ink) depending on the mood or goings on I'm journaling about!

I am currently working on a YO YO quilt. This one is completely made by hand, and one of a kind! Therefore I am always looking for some nice fabric to include. This is an ongoing project for me. Just work on it occasionally. The colors in my quilt are burgundy,cream,yellow(pale),dark blue,red,brown, and a few other tones.

Empty note cards are great! I can use them in so many ways.

Colors/Designs that I like:

Botanical Girly (High Heels/Purses/Boas/Lips) Vintage Victorian Angels

Lavendar, Vanilla, Rose, Woodsy scents, Violets, Fresh brewed Coffee!

In a tub full of bubbles with a relaxing scent! In the Mountains (I like the peacefullness and beauty of nature). Long walks on the beach! (looking for sea shells and whatnots as I go). In the Bayous of Louisiana (love the mossy trees and scent of the outdoors). Sitting in my backyard flower garden with a good book and a nice cup of coffee. Walking in our city park with my dog, Alex and my hubby.

I forgot to mention that I am a Financial Advisor for Primerica Financial Services! I am also a Medical Assistant! I'm trying to stay busy! (Actually I'm burning this candle at both ends ...and the sides also..Ha!) (My poor hubby and doggie!)
