Good day art friends, I began doing paper crafting about 20 years ago when it was all the rage. I began doing scrapbooking pages for my children's memories, leading to card making, Stampin Up and a true addiction to ATC's. I love mixed media, collage, rolos, inchies,twinchies and anything to get my fingers sticky and dirty. I belong to a few swap groups.

I have been married 34 years, we have 2 adult children. My daughter is married to a wonderful man, they both thankfully live nearby. I have been blessed with 2 grandchildren. My son lives in NY and is a former Special Operation Marine USMC Raider, he graduated from UNCW Wilmington, NC. Magna Kum Laude in 2021

I am a retired Information Technician having worked with the Barrington School District for 16 years, in Barrington, Illinois. I try to incorporate creativity into my day if it is at all possible. My husband is an architectural woodworker and is gifted with a lathe. He creates remarkable pieces.

I am also a watercolor artist. I belong to 3 National Urban Sketching groups . We paint what we see on location, it is great fun. I love to paint the homes of my friends and present them as gifts.

I have tattoos. One tattoo that I am really proud of is on my top left foot edge, it reads "Una Vita Artistica" in Italian (An Artistic Life) so when I am toe tagged the technician will know just how I spent my life, with beautiful colors, creativity and creative people.

My favorite holiday is Halloween, 4th of July is a close second. I love doing swaps with holiday themes.

We recently purchased a Lake House for our summer season retirement home, we are excited to go boating and kayaking. I enjoy cooking and experimenting with different cooking techniques, and grilling food. I have a mini studio there to keep up on swaps and create on rainy days.

My favorite colors are all the colors. Anything pleases me and creatively inspires me to think outside the box.

Thank you for reading all this info. It is nice to get to know each other.
