Well, I really enjoy crafting and indulge in a few different ones depending on mood and season. I rather enjoy sewing/quilting but I am still a beginner learning new things every day. Scrap booking is another hobby of mine I just love being able to capture all the memories for my children. When I can find the time I also make jewelry. My biggest inspiration for my jewelry is nature, it just makes me smile to give it as gifts to my loved ones and friends.

I indulge myself in any type of romance novel out there lol. I also enjoy Koontz and Stephen King.

I am a stay at home mom of seven wonderful children. I also attend school full time. My husband and I love to cook and we spend a lot of time in the kitchen with our children. I think it is a wonderful way to bond with each of them in a special way. I also love to garden flowers, herbs, and veggies. Just recently I have acquired a small greenhouse that has been just a thrill to me to be able to start my very own seeds and watch them grow.

I love all things shiny just like a kid :) ...If it glitters I am happy. I have stashes of all kinds buttons, scrap book supplies, fabric, lace, you name it I probably have a nice little nook for it in my home. My favorite color is blue. I love a cheery kitchen I decorate for each season it just brings a smile to my face to have a bright kitchen.

One thing I really think is a lost art is sending hand written cards. I still do this for all my friends and family. There is something sentimental about sending cards that will brighten someones day. I love to collect all sorts of note cards (blank). My favorite are nature inspired(flowers,animals, trees, nature scenes etc...) and fantasy (fairies etc...)
