I've been crafting for years and enjoy crochet, knitting, paper arts and more. I'm a wife to a wonderful man and homeschooling mother of 3 kids. We have 2 fish, 1 tortoise, a dog and a rabbit. We enjoy trips to the beach, camping and geocaching.

Reading is one of my favorite pastimes. I enjoy the Bible, historical fiction and Sci-fi, & the occasional non-fiction biography, like The Glass Castle. Reading A Wrinkle in Time and Brave New World in school got me hooked on the Sci-Fi genre. I really like the Narnia series-especially The Magician's Nephew. Orson Scott Card is one of my favorite authors I also like Anne McCaffrey & Jodi Picoult's books. I collect knitting and crochet pattern books & magazines.

I enjoy cooking and baking. I've always enjoyed making the cakes or cupcakes for my kids parties. I use my Crockpot often; we're busy with swim practice in the afternoons & evenings so it helps to have something hot and ready when we get home. I'd love to see your favorite family recipes. I'm more of a 30 Min. Meals or Semi-homemade type cook. My family has no food allergies but we're not big fans of fish.

Thanks so much for the angel package; it is so awesome wish I could give you a star! I love the needle book and the letter, just what I needed to hear this week.
