It has been a few years now since I have been on here and thought it time to make some changes on my profile.

I am married, mother of two, grandmother of 1 and expecting a new little grandson in August 2013, his name will be Cian Logan (no idea where my daughter came up with that name but it sounds pretty cool). New York is not my home state, I am from the west coast. I have lived in Arizona, California, Washington, Alaska and now New York. My utmost wish is to get back to the west coast to be closer to my family.

Besides MrBill (the hubbs), the loves of my life have all been doxie dogs. I currently have 4 of the crumb bums: Maxwell, Samantha, Twisted Sister Sadie, and Penny (short for Pencil Neck, long story, but she seems to have been made of spare parts).

My favorite crafts:
Clay Creations Sewing
Beading
Wirework
Crochet
Cross Stitch
Machine Embroidery
Weaving
ATCs
Rolos
Matchboxes

Not in that particular order...just as the whim to create hits me.

Country music is my favorite, not the real old twangy stuff though.

Alabama is back!

I watch mostly:

Discovery Channel
History Channel
A&E (Cowboy Saturday!)
HGTV
TNT
USA
FOOD TV

Favorite shows:

Deadliest Catch
Ice Road Truckers
Pawn Stars
Criminal Minds
NCIS (damn I love Mark Harmon)
The Weather Channel (Jim Cantori...yum!)
Swap People
American Pickers
Kounting Cars
Property Bros (looking forward to their new series)
House Hunters
Diners, Drive Ins and Dives (who can resist Guy?)

Don't be getting all serious on me....I would rather be:

Eldorado by Edgar Allan Poe

Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.

But he grew old--
This knight so bold--
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.

And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow-
"Shadow," said he,
"Where can it be--
This land of Eldorado?"

"Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,"
The shade replied--
"If you seek for Eldorado!"
