About Me

I am a 38 year old Special Ed Teacher's Aide. I have 2 little boys ages 10 and 6 and a wonderful husband of 14 years. We make our home in Austin, Texas.
In 2008 I started a shop on Etsy to supplement my family's income. It is so much fun to do crafts in the evening after the kids have gone to bed. I love to sew, bake, make cards, etc

Favorite Television

I Love Lucy is my all time favorite. I also love Project Runway, Frasier and The Office

Favorite colors

Green followed closely by soft pink. I also love gray and yellow together.

Comment: Thanks for the book excerpt, interesting, but not one of my genres. Although I do remember reading Roughing it in the Bush, by Susanna Moodie. Canadian story. That was interesting, but then I knew the territory.

Comment: Great letter!!!!! I have no idea what the lies are! eeek. Im going to go with the goat sized dog house and the river boat accident! but even that seems plausible....very sneaky :D
Response: I had lots of fun writing that! Good guesses! The goat and the incident involving my sister skiing were both lies. :) Have a great one and thanks for the rating! Jeanette

Comment: I was busting up laughing when I read your letter regarding Chips Patrol. I thought we were the only kids who did that!!! We did that in 1983- 1985. Is those about the years that you played that as well? I have to say that one of my favorite foods are Chicken Dumplings, but I have never done them in a crockpot. So I am super excited to try it! Thanks so much!!!! I hope to get you as a partner again and get some recipes from you. I would like to share the recipe on my Freezer meal blog. I am sure I can adjust it to work that way. I will give you the credit for the recipe too.
Response: :) Yes, I was born in '74 so the early - mid 80s would have been when we played CHIPS! Would love to have you as a partner in the future as well! Glad you like the recipe and sure! Use it however you see fit. Have a great weekend!

My internet just came back on like 5 mins ago. Sorry if I am late. We had wild fires in my area that burned a lot of crap. It smells like burned wires and wood around here! I am so sorry for my swap is late. I am not ever late! I feel so bad. I will get it in the mail when I get home from work. I am really sorry.... TaMara
