I am a full-time legal secretary (I love my job!), as well as the mother of four grown sons, and the grandmother of their seven beautiful children (five boys and two girls). For fun and relaxation, I like to kayak. For sanity and therapy, I do crafts. My main creative outlets are cake decorating and making greeting cards (mostly stamping). I used to sew, but pretty much have set that aside, other than to occasionally make flannel "rag quilts" for babies. I have a wonderful DIL in New Zealand who is a excellent cook and seamstress (and crafter), who motivates me to try new things.

Other than kayaking, I really enjoy going to movies and plays. Favorite movie has to be Schindler's List (although I don't feel the need to ever see it again). I also think that Slumdog Millionaire deserves every award it received! My favorite plays are Les Miz, RENT, Wicked, and Phantom (of course). The Eagles, Coldplay, and Jimmy Buffet music are among my favorites. If you have a chance to see Jimmy Buffett in concert, definitely DO! SO much fun!

Let's see ... as far as color, I love bright ones ... green (lime, sage), yellow and orange, but I also like white and various shades of brown. I'm rather conservative by nature; not into dark or goth. My jewelry is pretty conservative. I like plants, flowers, water (rivers, lakes, etc.), kayaking, babies, children, and nature.

I like chocolate in moderation, I don't drink coffee (I do drink hot chocolate though). I love to cook and bake, and I love and am impressed by home-made crafts.

I don't like cutesy things, as a rule, or stickers. I love paper, ink, and embellishments!

I hope this profile is helpful ... and thanks so much, in advance, for the effort and joy that you give.
