Hello, I am an almost 30 stay at home mom to two little boys ages 5 & 3 and have been married for 9 years. I am also a face painter, I just started doing this in March and LOVE it. I enjoy doing a lot of crafts, my current favorite is beaded Christmas ornaments like my Great Grandma used to make. My other hobbies include photography, writing poetry and children's books (non published), reading (romance novels) and collecting pigs.

I like almost anything. Alternative is really the only thing I dislike.

Romance Novels. Favorite author is Nora Roberts but I have pretty much read all of hers except a couple of the new ones. Need to find a new author to read.....

Grease is my all time favorite. I also like The Replacements (with Keanu Reeves). Mushy love stories or action films.

CSI's, Law & Order SVU, NCIS, Nascar, Brother's & Sister's, ER, Numbers

Current favorite is beaded ornaments. I like decoupage, making things with the pictures I take, beaded animals, jewelry, sand block sculptures and gemstone trees. I am open to learning new things and trying new crafts.

My favorite colors are purple, blue, lime green and a some pink. I love things in neon or that sparkle...neon sparkly works too. :o)

My favorite crafts include beads of some sort.

I have very few dislikes. Food: Not especially fond of Dark Chocolate. Or cherries (cherry flavored is fine). NO GRAPE...even flavoring.

Craft wise....not really dislikes but I can't sew well or crochet (my mom has tried to teach me)so I don't do much with fabric or yarn.

Any thing you think is fun or would be fun to do. I love crafts and being creative. I have two boys who love to do crafts too.
