About Me

Hello from Southern Indiana, USA!

Born in Seaford, DE, USA, the seventh child of seven. Raised Methodist, but have been Catholic for the past 19 years.

I work at CVS Pharmacy as a Photo Lab Supervisor; developing film, digital media and printing photos.

We have lived in Southern Indiana for 9 years, before that we lived in Salisbury, Maryland from 1987 to 2000. From 1962 to 1987 I lived in Delaware.

Mark & I have three daughters, 29, 28 and 16. The oldest still lives in Maryland,

We have six grandchildren, three boys (10, 9 & 7) and three girls (10, 7 & 5). You can tell our two oldest girls like to compete, each having three children so close in ages.

In August of 2009 we got custody of our two oldest grandsons. We also have a dog (our only son), he is 1/2 Sharpe and 1/2 we don’t know. So you can see things are busy in our household.

Favorite Crafts

Cross stitch, Card making, baking & sewing. Card making is my first love for crafting. Please don't send any cross stitch items I have plenty at this time.

Favorite Music

Easy Listening Rock, Jazz and Blues

Favorite Movies

Any Audrey Hepburn Movie.

Favorite Books

The Left Behind Series

Favorite Colors

Hunter Green, Navy Blue, Maroon and Tan (Light Brown).

I also like combos of black and red or brown and pink.

But I can find a use for any color.

Favorite Things

Number – 13 (we were married on Friday the 13th of October at 1300 hours (1pm). 13 is a special number for us, can you tell?)

Things - Angels, flowers, Snowbabies (with wings) also things with Celtic & Asian themes.

Goodies- Chocolate, Chi tea (Big Train is my fav), Marshmellow Circus Peanuts, Black jelly beans or licorice and just about any baked good.

Holidays- Christmas is number one, the decorations, giving gifts, family get togethers and making Christmas crafts. Thanksgiving & Easter for food and family.

Any friend/family get together. I love keeping in touch with friends and family.

Other hobbies

Photography,Blogging, Facebook, Reading, Writing & Walking.

Wish list

Printed papers, Japanese papers, handmade papers, unusual brads and embellishments, die cuts to go with my Cuttlebug, chalks, printed ribbons (no wider than 1"), large grommits to go with my Crop-a-dile.

Please no more cross stitch items, thanks.

Things I don't like

Goth, gore, anything too "Girly", Disney, Hello Kitty (most any brand name character).
