Hello!

Wife, Work full time, Dog Mom, Photographer on the side (see My Website link, if you would like).

I have two dogs and a cat in the house, so please let me know about any allergies.

June 2024 - I know I have been on hiatus since the beginning of the year. I have been reorganizing my office, I went back to my 911 dispatcher job, and have been working on getting together a RAK destash swap. Forgive my absence, but I am glad to be back! I also got back into crochet in the mean time.

I love Photography (digital), Learning new crafts, Scrapbooking, Planners, Diamond Painting, Journaling. I used to crochet and do embroidery, but have lost a lot of my stuff moving.
