SAHM mom of 3 children. Graduated from BYU with a degree in Education. I taught for one year (while I was pregnant with #3) but luckily I can stay home now! I work from home doing transcription and merchandising.

Love to sew..pretty much anything! I've done a lot of sewing type swaps on Flickr and Instagram. I also love crocheting. Love reading (historical fiction and suspense are favs), movies (suspense), Law & Order (all of them!). I have an Etsy store that I update in spurts. Other times it sits and waits patiently for me to add items to it!

Pinterest and Instagram are sites that I love. . I get so many inspirational ideas from them.

I grew up in the 80's and therefore love 80's music, Christmas music ANY time of year, Rascal Flatts, Faith Hill, Amy Grant, Carpenters, Michael Buble, Taylor Swift.

Anything Historical Fiction esp. Holocaust, American West Beginnings. Suspense and Young Adult Fiction (Laurie Halse Andersen, Stephanie Meyers, Kate DeCamillo, Lindsey Leavitt)

The Holiday, My Best Friends Wedding, Raiders of the Lost Ark, scary movies but NOT gory ! Anything with Harrison Ford, Denzel Washington, Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock,

Law & Order (all), 24, The Following, Homeland, Nashville, Scandal, Revenge, Prison Break reruns, In Plain Sight, 24, Lost, Justified, American Crime.
