I am the wife of a now retired officer of the United States Navy. I am also the mother of two beautiful women, and caretaker of one very large fluffy cat. I am an artist with a degree in design. Through the years, I have had the pleasure of working as decorator, designer, draftsman, and illustrator. I love the arts; museums, the theater, concerts and the ballet. I enjoy working with washi, embroidering, beading, light sewing, cooking and gardening. I work in mixed media, creating collage and fabric crafting. When I have the time, I enjoy painting. Water color and acrylics are my favorite medium.
I haven't a favorite color. I love all colors. If I were to have to choose, I suppose it would be in the hue of blue.....and from there I would lean toward robin's egg, periwinkle or cornflower

I love how colorful it is.Your letter is very inspiring. My mom always says ''Life dosn't begin till 50"" And from what you wrote sounds like you already know that.

Thank you for all your love, offer of help, thoughts and prayers over the past month since our fatal earthquake. My family and we are all OK as is our home. A few possessions broken but they do not matter. Our car was caught up in the CBD but we got that back yesterday YAA. Our son lost his best friend as falling masonry came down on him as he ran from his place of work.I have links on my profile page to photos and news and on my facebook page http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1315544413 รขโขยฅรขโขยฅรขโขยฅรขหยบรขโขยฅ
