I'm a mother of seven children.


These are my children in the last picture I have of them together in 2006. My middle daughter is in the Army and we haven't all been together since, so this is a very special picture of mine.

My children are: 24, 23, 21, twins 18, 11 and 3!

I'm Jane of all Trades

As I sat here wondering what I wanted to call my blog. I had no clue. I am good at a little bit of everything. There is nothing I really stand out about, so I call myself the Jane of all Trades. I love all sorts of things, but the one thing they tie into is creativity. I love things that are creative and done by hand.

Here are a few things I enjoy:

  • painting - watercolor, acrylics, and crafts
  • cooking - baking is my specialty but I can do it all...even Tiramisu. Thanks to grandma, my mom and a chef.
  • crocheting - afghans and crafts
  • gardening - flowers, veggies, and landscaping - I am still learning about this.
  • drawing - I mostly doodle
  • singing - mostly in the shower or driving with my kids down the road
  • writing - blogging, poetry, writing stories
  • photography - can we say passion? I love my camera!
  • children - I have seven in all. Yes, my own.
  • scrapbooking - that kind of goes hand in hand with all of the above.
  • volunteering - 4-H, our county fair and festival committees, enviromental stuff, writing people who are sick, especially children, and supporting our troops.
  • computers - I am into multimedia, design, graphic arts, programming, etc...
  • so much more...too much to keep writing.

I will share more about myself once I see how this place rocks. I will tell you, I am 44, a Mom of seven and I love learning about people. I love arts and crafts. I love my family most of all, no matter if they act dysfunctional a lot of times.

I don't know how this place works but I'm on my way to find out. Leave a message if you like, bloggers always love to hear from their guest.
