I have lived along the Gulf Coast (Northern Panhandle) of Florida for the past 20 years, it is a beautiful area of the world. I have a wonderful husband, two stepchildren who are now grown. My sweet dog and an adorable kitty were both adopted from the local animal shelter. I grew up in New England (Connecticut) and I thought I would end up back up north once I was done with college but I started dating my husband right before I graduated and that was that...I wasn't going anywhere!

I have always loved to do crafts and learn new techniques to create beautiful things. I like to stay busy with my mind and my hands. Making jewelry is my passion!!

I have a full time job at a continuing education company that keeps me very busy Monday through Friday and I love the people I work for and work with.

I like rock, southern rock, pop, blues, 50s,

some artists i love: Foo Fighters Stone Temple Pilots Counting Crows Stevie Ray Vaughn Van Morrison Cheryl Crow Sarah McLaughlin Allman Brothers

I don't get around to reading much due to time constraints but I loved the Twilight series and I like the John Grisham books I have read. Anything that is well written, witty and has great characters I like.
