I've been married 39 yrs, have a grown daughter with two daughters, and a grown son who is a Navy career man with a step daughter. My granddaughters are a huge part of my life now. My favorite music is Country with some soul. My favorite books Janet Evanovich and Stephanie Bond My favorite movies are any Disney and Pixar films. Just a big kid who loves funny happy ever after movies. My favorite shows are CSI's, lifetime, survivor, dancing with the stars Cupid, Castle, and Life. I love yard sales. I love to look for that bargain. I collect ceramic birds and love to work in my flower garden as well as my veggie garden. My favorite animals are pandas, giraffes, meer cats and monkeys.
My favorite birds are the hummingbird, blue bird, pileated woodpecker, and owls. I enjoy watching butterflies, lady bugs, and dragon flies. I like all native American art and pottery and I have a collection of kokopellis.

I love to take photo's, photos of all kinds. So I love to make my own postcards because in the small town I live there are no postcards so any chance I can I make them to share my view of life in RI and life when I travel. Wildlife is my biggest target from the smallest to the largest of critters. From flowers to mountians nothing is safe with me around with a camera which is 98% of the time. I truely love looking at life thru a camera lens.

I love the ocean and everything to do with it. I have collected shells and sand dollars ever since I can remember and now have discovered the art of finding sea glass. My grandmother was a big shell collector also and I still have most of her shells that I still use in crafts that I do.

I am very crazy about getting things out on time so if you do not receive things in a timely matter email me to see if it could be lost in the mail so I can resend.

My only request is that if you are resending things that were sent to you just put one personal thing in from your state, country or even town. Otherwise I am open to resends I am the yard sale guru.

As for HEARTS I feel if you take the time to send me something handmade or not you deserve a heart. I know I am not an artist so who am I to judge anybody else's work or thought process. I feel something can be made beautiful with stickers just as much as pen to paper.

I just started working with a new art form called PHOTOGRAM. I am enjoying it a lot. It is making a picture without a camera. You take photo paper put your stencil design on it then expose it to light then develope in photographic chemicals and you have a black and white picture that you can add color (by paint or markers) or other art supplies. I just like getting things and seeing all the different ways people's minds work. After all if we were all the same and thought the same what good would swap bot be.
