I am a 35 yr old happily married Christian mom of 8 (almost 9) year old boy/girl twins. I am a busy SAHM :)

Waiting for ratings is agony, lol.

During the daytime the television is on hgtv or diy or possibly completely turned off-- our house is so loud all the time with rambunctious kiddos that I really enjoy the silence when the opportunity arises.

I like a lot of shows... some faves are Big love, mentalist, csi, L&O, secret life, ghost whisperer, medium, big bang, and a lot more I can't think of right now.

I am willing to try anything~ so I have many artsy crafty interests photography, scrapbooking, cake decorating, home decorating, beading, jewelry making, sewing, painting, sketching-- and many that I have yet to try!

I really want to learn to blow glass and throw pottery :) Those are on my to-do list.

I'm hooked on swapping!!! I've been inspired to try new things~ how fun! Matchboxes are so much fun! I made my first homemade bookmark today too (I consider it my first as a gum wrapper or corner of a newspaper hardly counts as 'homemade' lol)

I enjoy painting, I find it overwhelmingly relaxing! I never said I was good... I just like it :)

I love to sketch, this is something that I have picked up recently.

Junior Girl Scout leader- I've been a leader for 3 years. I love it!

Sunday School Teacher (pk-2nd)

Docent at our local Museum

Twirl Mom- My daughter is entering her 3rd year of competitive twirling. She is becoming a very good little twirler- we are very very proud!

We are an outdoorsy family~ we like to camp, fish, geocache and hike.

I love love love musicals! Two of my recents were Mama Mia and Wicked~ so much fun!

Pets: Cat, 2 dogs, a fish and a rat :)
