I am outgoing, intelligent, confident, love to laugh, hard to offend and easy to amuse. I am a proud mother of a wonderful 12 yo boy named Oliver. We are transplants to New Orleans but we love it here. By day, I put on my serious face and work as a legal secretary, but by night (and weekend) I love to sew, glue, cut, collage and all other things crafty. I also love to thrift store shop & garage sale hop. I have been crafting for about 20 years and it's always been a passion and stress reliever. I love being on Swap-Bot connecting with people and swapping great stuff!! Yay!!
