I am a wife of 30 years and a mom of three daughters. My oldest, Tiffany Joy, graduate from the University of Pittsburgh as chemical engineer. And married her best friend, Simeon on June 24, 2022. My middle daughter, Natalie Faith, is my artsy/musical one. She married her best friend, Kevin on October 1, 2022. My youngest, Kaylee Hope, is attending college at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn State).

My favorite movies are any one of the Disney Pixar movies. CARS, the first one, is my favorite one!!

Love the movie "You've Got Mail!" and the Oceans Trilogy. Could watch over and over!

I like bright & happy colors. My favorite color would be bright yellow, makes me think of sunny days and smile faces, which make me smile.

I have a basement FULL of arts & crafts....I've enjoyed trying new crafts.

I collect pumpkins & sunflowers!! My kitchen is full of pumpkins and sunflowers. Pumpkins hanging on the wall, pumpkins on shelves, on top of the fridge, in the window sill, just about any where I can put the:) It is always fall in my kitchen, I love it! My favorite time of year is fall, October. It may have something to do with it being the month of my birthday and sweatshirt weather!!

I've been collecting and trying to add more sunflowers to my kitchen. My family is tired of pumpkins:)

I also collect shot glasses. Everywhere I go I find a shot glass to bring home, I started when my husband and I got married. I now have others bringing me shot glasses from their trips. I have over 150+!! I love all the different & fun ones.

I enjoy scrapbooking and paper crafting. As my husband has said, my crafts have exploded all over the house now that all the girls are gone! lol:)

I like gardening and butterflies. During the summer I like to raise monarchs and swallowtails.

My husband and I bought a tandem bike a few years ago. Which we really enjoy during the warm months. I like to collect anything with an tandem bike on it. Which is hard to fine!
