About Me

I live on a farm in rural Georgia just a hop, a couple of skips and a jump from Atlanta-(unless you try to get there during rush hour---you do the math.) I'm a wife and a stay-at-home mother of 4 kids, who are getting to the ages where they don't do much staying at home. I worked at a "real" job in graphic design for many years, but when the children started coming I chose to stay at home and watch them grow. It's been a blessing! My creative side has always found an outlet--whether making birthday invitations and Christmas cards, painting, or even making my kids' Halloween costumes. (Incidentally, they NEVER chose easy things like cowboys or ghosts--no, we had to be a Y2K bug or a box of puppies.) Gradually I found a new creative outlet, and began making papier mache figures. My basement was filling up, so I launched my website. I suppose the rest is yet to be written.

If you were a pirate, how would you avoid laughing when saying 'poop deck'?

I wouldn't laugh because as a pirate it's my duty to maintain a serious demeanor. Wait, did I just say "duty"?! I'd probably have to walk the plank.
