My first project was a trivet I made for my Mom in kindergarten. I have never looked back. I am a self taught embroiderer, needleworker, cross stitcher and knitter. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to crochet!I I do leatherwork (I made my Mom's bowling bag). I love paper and paper crafts. journaling, junk journaling, ATC's and ROLO's. Love them! I am addicted to Pinterest. Baseball (the San Francisco Giants) is my life. Halloween is my favorite holiday and anything Dia de los Muertas (Day of the Dead). I love animals and have 2 cats (all strays that found us) and a lovely brindle boxer, who was found walking down a very crowded street in the middle of the Tucson summer. She's lovely and crazy and I couldn't live without her.

Baseball, The Biggest Loser. Supernatural. I love anything on ID channel, basically, anything that requires crime scene tape. And sports. MLB TV, MLB updates, MLB, well, you get it, football, hockey, golf but no basketball.

Ahh, books. I have several books open throughout the house, car, bag, everywhere a book would fit. I love children's books, young adult fiction and mystery/suspense. I love children's books with recipes. My first children's series was Anne of Green Gables. But my favorite children's book of all time is A Little Princess. I (re)read this several times a year. Picture books are fun! I write children's stories and love reading them aloud to my (never too old to hear one of my stories) kids.

Give me a good love story, comedy, action/adventure, thriller. Oh wait, that's almost everything. I'm not big on heavy drama/British movies (ex: I never saw The English Patient or It's A Wonderful Life, The Notebook, etc.) A little too sappy for my tastes.

I'm an 80's punk rocker with some New Wave, Led Zepplin, and George Strait thrown in for good measure. I listened to my share of classical and that's all I can say about that.

I just started Letterboxing and am a member of it LbNA. There are so many letterboxes in my area, I am just waiting for the heat to retreat a bit so I can go outside without fainting. I know, right? Nothing like living in the desert and not being able to take the heat. I have my letterboxing kit in my car with a list of sites so whenever I am close to one, I take the time to get my stamp. It's so much fun!
