merc1958

My name is Karen and live in Kitchener, Ontario Canada. Celebrating my 52 birthday this year. I am married, have one daughter (14) and a step daughter (21)

I work Full Time at a golf course in the administration department. I do not golf though....never learned how and have no desire to.

When I was in High School my nick name was "TURTLE" hence the picture of a turtle in my profile. I have a small collection of turtles, some made of glass, cloth, ceramic and wood.

I also have a pretty extensive Fridge Magnet Collection and try to pick one up whenever I travel.

My collection of angels and snowmen are always on display over the Christmas Season.

I love to read Some of my favourite authors are: Karen Kingsbury Debbie Macomber Janet Evanovich

I read just about everything except Sci-Fi and haven't got into the Vampire Craze

I am a scrapbooker and card maker. I've been scrapping for about 8 years.
I am currently doing quite a few travel layouts and am keeping up on my daughter's book and my Book of Me.
I use a lot of flowers buttons and chipboard on my layouts. My favourite colours are blue, green, red, black and white. I do not use pink too much. I do not use stickers. I love working from sketches

Don't watch too much television. Not into "reality tv" but do like "So you think you can dance" and watch Grey's Anatomy faithfully
