About me

Gender	FEMALE
Occupation	Mom, Artist?,Collectibles person
Location	Midwest
Introduction	As I write this I am 51 years old, vegetarian,mother of three, wife of one.(Only. Ever. Married my first date.I was 26 1/2 on that first date.I'm picky, all right?)My two oldest children are children no longer,and I suppose that,at 13,my youngest doesn't count as a child either.They do their own thing alot of the time now, which leaves me with more free time than I have had since before they were born.So I have time to waste on trivialities like this,and making one of a kind dolls and dollhouse miniatures.If you're curious you can check that stuff out at Tamsykens.com. I may ramble here.I'll go on at length about what I collect(mainly dolls and cool old stuff),but I'll also touch on whatever strikes me. Don't be surprised if today I talk about Mrs. Beasley and tomorrow about my favourite movie,or why I like chocolate so much,or growing older,or, well,you get the idea.I'm not sure how often I will post here,but probably more often than anyone cares to read. (Did I mention I'm a rambler?)I'll try to cover some projects, books,and movies you can enjoy with your kids,my thrifty finds, my collections,and life in general.
