countrycrafter

Hi! My name is Annette. I live in Connecticut.

I am the mother of one beautiful, adult daughter. My husband and I just celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary in May. My days are occupied with chores and caring for my precious pups, Miss Gidget and Bella. When all is calm, I relax in my craft room.

In addition to family, dogs and crafting, I enjoy gardening, feeding the birds, (and squirrels who insist the bird feeders are for them) spending time out side, and camping.

My crafting loves include:

-stamping

-scrapbooking (especially mini albums)

-card making

-not a huge fan of pastels or primary colors in crafts, as a general rule

• not a big fan of fantasy items (ie; unicorns, fairies) or si-fy

• Although we all have our own religious beliefs, I don't use related items in my crafting.
