I am a divorced mom of 2 grown boys. I enjoy creating on all levels. I do scrapbooking, card making, make jewelry, candles, soap, crochet, cross stitch, plastic canvas, work with polymer clay to name a few.

As a child, I never received anything less then an "A" in my English courses from elementary school through college. I took courses in high school like Creative Writing and Literature classes as my English electives. I wrote short stories and poetry. I have had a couple poems published and even a band took song lyrics I wrote and put it to music.

I ended up getting married right out of high school for all of the wrong reasons. This was a bad situation which I stayed for 17 years until I finally got out with the help of my parents. This was in July 2004. I lost my ambition and desire to write. I lost ambition for just about everything. Once I was on my own, I began to find myself again.

In the past few months, I have been toying with the idea of writing again, but writing a novel instead of short stories. My boyfriend had a dream and I thought it would make a good novel. When he had the dream, I wrote it down. I just didn't know where to begin writing my book. I researched the publishing process and writing process for several months before writing a word. I finally put together a mini outline (not complete yet) but I started writing my first couple chapters. This is where I am now.... in the beginning of July 2010.

My web site is about paper crafts.
