Married mom to 3, employed full time + photography business owner, love to take photos, craft, read, travel, garden and share.

I have lived in Michigan my entire life and currently live in northern Michigan where it always seems to be cold. We do have a few months of summer, but it goes by very quickly. My favorite season is Fall with all the wonderful colors.

I have been married for what feels like forever (LOL---18 years) and we have two children, two dogs, a cat and a rabbit.

I love to travel, but haven't done much in the last couple years because of my work schedule. I'm trying to plan a trip for 2010.

I work full time at a cogeneration plant as the admin assistant. I work with 20 guys...I'm the token girl for the plant. Most days it works well for me, other days it feels like I have 20 kids running around :(

I started an on-location photography business 5 years ago and opened a store front studio in October. I primarily photograph weddings and boudoir, but also photograph families and children. My business is a part time endeavor for me since I already work a full time job.

Some dislikes: ~dark chocolate ~anything kiddie (I have teens) ~reward stickers ~dark or evil themed items ~out of season holiday items

Things I like: ♥ coffee ♥ nature inspired items ♥ fabrics for quilting (LOVE Moda & Amy Butler) ♥ vintage laces ♥ vintage buttons ♥ aprons ♥ apron patterns ♥ birds ♥ owls ♥ toys for my puppy (Malti Poo boy named BB--short for Brutus the Barbarian) ♥ fuzzy socks

If you have any other questions about me or my likes/dislikes please drop me an email...

I love to read and no matter how busy my life becomes I always have a book with me. I read a lot of different genres. The only genre I don't really like is historical. Some of my favorite books include:

~Eat, Pray, Love: Elizabeth Gilbert ~One Year Off: David Elliot Cohen ~An Italian Affair: Laura Fraser ~The Time Traveler's Wife: Audrey Niffenegger ~All books by J.D. Robb

I'm currently reading: Trouble the Water by Nicole Seitz---♥ it. Excellent book and may end up being included in my all time favorite pile.

Oh..I also love all kinds of magazines.

I don't really watch much tv...usually too busy crafting or working, but when I do watch tv I really enjoy NCIS (yes, I think Mark Harmon is HOT!!!)

Oh, one of my favorite topics. I love creating and really enjoy paper crafting, scrapbooking, quilting, knitting. I like all colors. I don't really have any favorites---enjoy everything crafting.

That being said, I really don't need any more scrapbooking items---I have LOTS from years of scrapping. I stopped buying scrapbooking items about 3 years ago and I still haven't run out--yikes.

~Thomas Crown Affair ~Sahara ~Mamma Mia

Hmmm...have to think of more to add..

Valentine Kid Swap--pls stuff envie with girl items :) Thanks....
