I live in Arizona. I love it in the winter...HATE it in the summer. I am married to an amazing man who I am lucky to have. I am the mother of a VERY energetic 11 year old boy. I love to be creative, and love it even more when I can turn it into a social activity! I love color, and lots of it, especially bright colors like lime green, fuschia, purple,aqua. I would have to say that there are not a whole lot of colors I don't like. In the fall, I love fall colors. I am not a huge fan of mint green or cobalt blue. I guess I'm not a huge fan of primary color schemes. I like some of them but in combination with wilder colors. Same goes for pastels. I like flowers, birds, hearts, trees, anything really. I also like cool patterns, especially polka-dots and paisley. I SO wish I could draw but can't at all.

I love to read! No self-help books or anything educational. It probably wouldn't hurt, but I just can't seem to get into them. I just finished # 15 in Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. They are pretty funny. I read the Twighlint books and loved them. I also loved "The Secret Life of Bees". I read the Shack not too long ago. I loved everything I read by Kristin Hannah.

I started with scrapbooking, which led to stamping and card-making. I have a pretty serious addiction to ribbon and yarn/fiber. I make jewelry. I have started dabbling in polymer clay. I recently discovered fiber arts and really enjoy that a lot. I belong to a fiber inchie group that swaps but not often enough for me. I enjoy a lot of stuff and look forward to finding new oultlets for my creativity.
