A bit about me: I am 44 years old. I live in Drumheller, Alberta, Canada - dinosaur capital of the world. I was born and raised in Nova Scotia, on the east coast of Canada. I spent several years in the Arctic, in Norman Wells, Northwest Territories and in Rankin Inlet, Nunavut. I have also lived in La Peche, Quebec, about an hour north of Canada's capital city of Ottawa. I also lived in Calgary, Alberta for 6 years before moving to Drumheller.

I run a home based child care program and have up to 6 children in my care at a time. I have been in this field for 25 years. I am also a student working on my Herbal Health degree.

I am Pagan, and a Unitarian. I am learning about my Native American background. My family is Mi qmaq. I love essential oils and using crystals. I love being in nature. We go camping a lot. I love photography, scrapbooking, knitting. My favourite colour is purple.

I love tea, especially fruity herbal tea, and white tea, and rooibos. I do not care for black or green teas generally.

I am married to Guy. We met in the Arctic and have lived all over Canada. We have been together 15 years, married for 11. We have two dogs. Blue is a husky, and Molly is a spanial/shih tzu/terrier cross. We have a cockatiel named Fergie. We also have two bunnies, a lop named Brownie and a lionhead named Zoe.

I love all kinds of music, but mostly listen to folk and country music. I don't really enjoy opera or hard rock/heavy metal.

I really love live music and we go to a lot of music festivals throughout the year. I enjoy supporting artists by purchasing their cd's and going to their performances.

I am an avid reader and can read very quickly. I go through phases of what I enjoy reading. I like true crime, self help, psychology, contemporary romance.

I also love reading about herbs, natural health, essential oils, crystals, and anything about being Pagan.

I love scrapbooking, have lots of materials, but am just learning how to use everything. I am also learning to knit.

I can knit a mean dishcloth, but am not a good counter, so anything more complicated gets very frustrating, because I always lose my spot.

I want to learn how to crochet this winter.

I just started felting, and can't wait to have more time and money to learn more about it.
