About Me

My upcoming crafting goals for next year is to be fully engaged in my creativity, explore new techniques, and complete my daughter's wedding album - 7 years going on 8 years late..

I have a son, Eric, who is 40 years old and is the father of my three most beautiful grandchildren: Bella, 17 y.o., Kaitlin, 12 y.o. and then Aiden, 7 y.o.. I also have a daughter, Jessica, who is married and is 42 years old.

I live life to the fullest and my children, grandchildren, family and friends are the most important people in my life. Yep, I am single and loving every minute of being single and an independent, vibrant woman.

I have written a few poems and/or quotes to the pictures I have taken. I want to do more of that and if there is a swap that presents itself merging photography and writing I would certainly join.

A lot of my work is about my own personal life journey, thus I will jump at a chance to create and participate in anything that I can express through art/creative process I am big on my work telling a story and looking for themes and ways to express my life story, ancestral stories and cultural stories.

I look forward to more challenges that challenge me to go outside my comfort zone and for me to learn other techniques and projects. I love the swap-bot because it is supports me in many ways by giving, receiving, creating and so many unique ways to do all that.

Comment: Thank you for such a lovely dragon fly l it is so pretty it would make a great brooch l love the whole atc, And thanks for the extras too. Thanks for being part of the swap take care
Response: I am so glad you loved it. I made sure I did not duplicate the same color dragonfly that I sent you before. I love your swaps and I wish I lived in Canada just to do more with you. I see that you have a Canada group swap just like a lot of US people run USA only. Will be looking forward to additional swaps you host for international people (sounds wierd since I live in the USA/North America).
