I try to find time everyday to do some crafting. I loose all track of time, eat less, and feel the stress of my day just melt away.

I love seeing different styles of artwork and appreciate the hard work and value of each created piece. Everyone has their own style and I find that very interesting. From the abstract two faced works of Picasso and Splatter paintings of Pollock....to the very detailed realistic work of Rembrandt.. there is true beauty in these creations..My work is thought through and carefully created and never just thrown together last minute. From what I create I am sharing a tiny piece of who I am...My art teacher use to say, "Be proud of what you create." Some days I may start over,,,more than once and perhaps spend way too much time on a project. But I feel better knowing I have given you the best I have to offer.

Music represents a form of relaxation for me. I enjoy the slow 80's tunes and some classical music. Garth Brooks a country singer was from this area and his mother lived in our town for many years. So his music is also played a lot. I would have to say that Christmas music is my favorite such as Anaheim Steam Roller. "Carol of The Bells" is what I was named for. It was a song my mother loved.

I've read all the Harry Potter books and just finished a series of books by Sandra Harper about an Amish family. I enjoy fiction and non-fiction but love a good laugh.. So the book, "Don't Pee on My Leg and Tell Me It's Raining" by Judge Judy Sheindlin I found to be a smile maker..

I love the old movies like The sound of Music, Oklahoma, and The King and I... But I must say one of my all time favorites is Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind.. I now have 2 copies of the movie and have watched it a dozen or so times.

I LOVE LOST.... and hate to hear that the series will be ending soon.. I just heard them announce this was the last season.. before it all ends.. Honestly.. I think this is all just Hurley's dream..

This is an ATC puzzle created with 6 cards. I also make these with Inchies..

I weave on a loom, make fibers with my spinning wheel. Paint, work with clay. You name it..

Love to get together with friends.. play games, eat out, and enjoy sports.

I'm a retired art teacher and understand all levels of ability..( K-12th grade). The quality of your work shines though when you are proud of it.. No one is grading your work, it should be a fun experience...and I am generous with hearts..
