I enjoy gospel music, country style, traditional or modern. I like country music and instrumental.

Any Beverly Lewis, Janetta Oakes, Family orientated story lines. I DO NOT like harlequin romance or anything on that line. I like "How To" books on woodworking, crafts, crochet patterns, sewing, miniatures (doll house miniatures).

My all time favorite movie is "It's a Wonderful Life" black and white version, Driving Miss Daisy and the Color Purple. Again I like family style movie, Hallmark Type.

I am a fan of Survivor, Big Brother, Hell's Kitchen. and American Idol.Law and Order, NCIS, CSI,NY, House and ER (can't believe this is ER's last season) The Walton's and Little House are still favorites too. I watch ALOT of HGTV, DIY, and Food Network.

My favorite craft is sewing which I have been doing since I was 9 years old. I LOVE buttons, old, new, unusual I love 'em all. I do plastic canvas, crocheting, woodworking, scrap booking, embroidery work, miniatures (doll house) and cooking, I have a massive collection of cook books. I am always on the look out for simple crafts that I can do with children & grand babies and their friends).

I DO NOT LIKE OWLS...they creep me out. And I am afraid of worms/caterpillars ! Everyone stop laughing, I really am afraid of them. I also fear failure.I don't buy into all this Hannah Montana, High School Musical crap.Meaning I don't buy it for the grand babies, nor do I buy into the Star Wars or Super Heroes. I prefer to show my grand children the realities of being yourself and finding fun, entertainment and enjoyment of simple things.

Now that I feel a bit more comfortable here... my life has been a hard one (NOT looking for sympathy) I had 2 children, a boy named James and a daughter named Mary. They ARE my life, my soul, my being. I lost my son 3 years ago on June 5th. He committed suicide, so they say, and part of me just isn't anymore. I live with a fear that I'll lose my daughter too, so she is constantly on my mind. I joined this sight so i could be involved with something that is JUST for and by me. When I make or create something I put my whole heart into it. If anyone is ever disappointed then please let me know so that I can make it right. I have Crone's Disease, Chronic Re-occurring Depression I am a simple, earthy person, I don't lie, cheat or steal and don't tolerate it around me.

I collect Winnie the Pooh, I like smaller items (I can collect more that way), I also collect John Deere and Campbell's Soup stuff. I like all colors but don't like navy/ beige combo. I love making baby doll clothes, and handbags. I love scrap booking items...scrap books for all 8 grand babies is a continuous work in progress I don't have much in the line of brads, eyelets and such for scrap booking. .I am a member of the National Ruritan Club of America, and Treasure of our local club. For more info on this go to Ruritan National and take a look. Lego's are the greatest toy EVER invented!!!! I like milk chocolate, especially Dove. My husband will eat anything so treats are welcome.
