I have been with Helium since May 2007 and was active until Oct, but due to family and budding jewelry business I slowed down on participating on the site. After the holiday rush my jewelry business has slowed down and allowed me time to spend on Helium.

=======================================================

Personal Life:

I have been married for 10 years to a lovely man and we have two beautiful children. We live in the Green Mountains of Vermont with three feisty kitties and two new goldfish. I have been published on a number of random non paying websites and I am currently actively pursuing a career as a freelance writer/novelist. I have been working as a jewelry designer for the past two years while trying to get a little writing in here and there. Some of my jewelry is for sale in a shop in Boston, MA and I do take online requests, but I am currently not working on any projects.

I am two classes short of an AS in Liberal Arts, with a rather broad group of classes, but focused on English/Lit and Psychology for the majority of my classes. Maybe one of these days I will finish up college, but for now I am happy working on Helium, writing, and being creative.

Another late night at work can't be written away. Yet another pile of his dirty socks left next to the dresser can't just magically end up in the hamper. The dirty dishes have to be washed by us, not a live in maid - a'la B...
