About Me

*

I am a wife and a mother of three teenagers! I have two dogs (shih tzu ) and a turtle. I am a former teacher that now provides daycare out of my home.

I love to create and make things. I sew, watercolor paint, cross stitch, hand-carve stamps, and crochet. I love fabric! I love handmade items!! .... My latest adventure is my Etsy shop ..... DonnaMMonster.

I have a blog at http://donnamonster.blogspot.com/ Please come follow :)

I love the ocean and I miss it. I love books and fairy tales. I love owls and woodland creatures.

I read mostly Mysteries(and things my kids tell me I need to read). I love Children's Literature (former teacher)... Madeleine L'Engle, Roald Dahl and so many more

My favorite movies are St. Ralph and Time Bandits.

We have allergies that react to smoke - so please .... smoke - free items.
