I am crafty person from way back. Sewed my own doll clothes. I learned to knit in the 4th grade. I've been quilting, crocheting, knitting sewing paper crafts lately. I occasionally paint and draw. I had been a sales rep for an arts & crafts, Doing that gave me quite an accumulation of books & supplies. I've Tole painted, stenciled & cross stitched. You name it, I've tried it. I'm an avid gardener. But I don't like weeding! I like flowers and herbs. My favorite flower is the pink rose!
I AM NOT A FLAKER. If you don't get my package...it got LOST. Email me asap!!!

I was born in Canada but I grew up in Columbus, OH. Went to school there [OSU], got married there, had 3 kids there and moved to Delphos in 1983. Downsized our lifestyle & love the country life. I've had a variety of jobs over the years, permanent & part time jobs; outside sales, cashier, office manager, and administrative assistant. I have a few part time gigs in the networking world. I had an opportunity to go back to school and graduated in June of 2011 with my Associates in IT Networking. Retired and keeping busy with my blog and all those projects that have been waiting to get done!. Someday again I will go to Yoga classes and work out! I'm on the board of trustees with the Delphos Public Library, I'm a member of the local Sewing Guild and the local Fiber Guild.
