I am a 42 year old, mother of 2. I have a 24 year old daughter, a 19 year old son and my adorable grandson just turned 4 in May.

I don't feel 42 (What is that suposed to feel like anyways?) .

I like yoga, and organics, health food and natural cures.

I love to cook! All kinds of soups and salads, anything Italian or Mexican, and I also like baking cakes and cookies and pies....any dessert, really :)

I like any kind of chocolate and caramel!

I have spent the past 4 summers in Eirope (Latvia specifically)...this summer was the first time I have not been there for awhile and I missed it terribly. Hoping to go for at least a month next summer.

Purple is my favorite color. Also I like green, brown, white and light blue. And maroon, how could I forget maroon?

I like nature......walks in the woods, swimming. I like picking berries and mushrooming. I garden. Veggies, fruits, and flowers, I love it all!

Lipstick and earrings!

I like dogs and other animals, but cats not so much! I like frogs & sheep.

I believe in angels! I am a Christian but have a stroong interest in Eastern religions and Native American traditions as well.

I love white tulips.

I like mushrooms.

I love to read! Non- fiction is mostly my favorite but I like John Grisham and Steven King as well. Also the classics and Emily Dickinson.

I can be girly or outdoorsy, just as at home in jeans and t--shirt as a little black dresss and heels!

I love bargain hunting and thrift shops.

I am just starting to get into my "crafty side with the altered journals and what not. i have a craft box, but it is EMPTY! Anything that could hel;p me fill it would be great. Cute stickers, artsy items, decoupage items..glitter, feathers, buttons you name it...PLEASE help me fill my box!

Actually..............anything altered like recipe cards, mirrors, tins, boxes or whatever your specialty is!
