About me

I enjoy writing light-hearted, mildly humorous how-to articles on a variety of topics including cooking, environmentally-friendly living and health &  fitness. I find fulfilllment in every part of the process of writing from choosing a topic to the editing. I  love animals, crafts, cooking, my husband, my cat and, of course, writing. I like shopping at second hand stores for unique clothing and household items and I enjoy growing my own vegetables and flowers. I also enjoy playing the flute and the piano. I love scrap-booking and making unique greeting cards for family and friends. My favorite  fiction authors are Robin Cook, and Mary Higgins Clark and my favorite non-fiction authors include Stormie Omartian and Philip Yancey. I enjoy outdoor activities such as walking, biking, tennis, and roller blading. New hobbies I've started recently are crocheting and furniture refinishing.
