I am a mother of 3 (20yo daughter, 15yo son, 8yo son). Thanks to the Air Force, we spent 11 years in England and 3 years in Okinawa, Japan. I loved both places, and would jump at the chance to go back!

I have a job that I absolutely love managing a cupcake shop that allows me a creative outlet while supporting my family. I collect all things cupcakes.

I am in to all sorts of arts and crafts: zentangle, ATCs, card making, scrapbooking, jewelry making, candle making, soap making, painting, altered art, etc. I love to share my passion for crafts. I used to teach classes at a retail craft store, but disagreed with their $ worshiping, who cares about the customer approach to customer service. So, I quit. And now I get together with friends to craft every Sunday!

Card making is my all time favorite craft because I love to brighten people's mailboxes! I try to send out at least 5 cards per week. I love to use bling on my cards!! I recently got into Washi tape and love the varied uses of it!

Butterflies play an important part in my life. I went through a very difficult time and feel like I emerged much better, much more confident, and more beautiful, inside and out. So, I do have a lot of butterfly stamps, collections, painting, etc. They are a prominent theme in my art.

One day, I hope to own a party planning business where I can put together parties for the average family (without charging an arm and a leg) and provide all services needed from the invitation to the cake to the games to the decorations to the goody bags!! One day.
