I love paper arts, crafting greeting cards, ATC's, books, I like art journaling and altered books. I like collage like stamps, and portrait stamps, I also like stamps of things and african american stamps. I also like word stamps. I'm a big fan of collecting quotes that I like for my art journal. I knit and crochet, I love fibers. I do some jewelry making, the beading kind, I don't have a kiln or anything like that, mostly beading. I make earrings, necklaces and bracelets. I like to read when I can find the time. I love novels. I like to draw, I am learning more about drawing. I love rubberstamps, but I don't use them exclusively the way I use to, I am trying my hand a drawing more when I make my atcs. I love gluing things down also, so I have a glue book that I work in also, I am a glue monkey in the yahoo group. I love to bake, I have been making my own bread for a few months now, I am teaching myself to be a baker. I've gotten pretty good. I also enjoy cooking. I am retired, I am married and I have three grown sons. I am a animal lover. I love dogs and cats. I love the wild animals also, I enjoy watching the birds, turkeys, squirrels and deers that pass thru my yard. That's about all I can think of now.

I thought of some more details about myself, I love Law & Order on TV, I like to watch good movies, I enjoy tearjerkers, romantic comedies, mysteries and suspense. I read when I can make room for it, I enjoy a good novel, sometimes romance novels. I love the ocean. I don't live by one, but whenever I can I really enjoy being around the water, just sitting on a beach is a great pleasure to me.

I belong to several art groups on the web, and am interested in getting back into swapping.
