Hi, thank-you to everyone who has looked at my gallery.

I live in Washington state, the beautiful Pacific Northwest, & I'm about 15 miles from the Columbia River. I have lived here 37 years, I was born & raised in north-western Missouri.

I am a retired grocery store cashier. I miss not going to work every day but I have more time to do the things I enjoy, now if I could just afford them, LOL!!!

I have 4 grown (if they ever are, hehe!) children, 1 girl & 3 boys, 10 grandmunchkins, 5 of each, the oldest is 16, the youngest 6 months, & they are brothers.... hmmmm!

I enjoy making cards, reading, John Wayne movies & other westerns, baseball, country music, sunsets (I'm never up early enough to see the sunrise, I'm retired, ha!), watching birds & other wildlife & taking pictures of them. I have so many digital pictures of wildlife I don't even know where to start scrapping them. So I ignore them & make cards!!!

**Up date...3-28-09...I have been here a little over a month & have met the most wonderful & talented people imaginable.

Guess, I'll tell you more about myself; I am a die-cut addict.  It's bad!!!

I collect Holstein cows for my kitchen, along with other barnyard critters so the cows don't get lonely!!

I also have a collection of mini metal watering cans & buckets. And mini birdhouses, some are wind chimes.

I like windmills/weather vanes, old barns/farm houses, tractors, anything Asian/Amish, anything country/rustic/rural,  anything western/south-western, pioneer/western  history,  yard sales, flannel jammies, Levi's & t-shirts........so if you have any of the same interests or not I'd enjoy hearing from you.

**Up date...8-2-09...I have a new addiction, worse than die-cuts!! Which I  didn't  think was possible!!!!    I have joined a wonderful challenge here at sb.com, Photo of the Day [POD]. It is so much fun & everyone is sooo awesome. This is the start of my 5th month, wow, how time flies when you're havin' fun!!!   And fun it  is!!   OK then, until  next time!!   
 
And a great big   THANK-YOU   to sb.com for making this all possible !!!!

Happy card making & scrapping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
