Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.
Be nice. The world is a small town.
Good people bring out the good in other people.

P E R S O N A L

I’m an artist, a maker, a wife, a mom (one human and two dogs), lover of Motown music and Mexican food. We live in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina (near Raleigh). I love reading, art, crafts, photography, cross-stitch, antiques, card games and anything silly. I collect world globes and old sign letters. I have a knack for seeing the best in people. I believe in the power of positive thinking and that laughter is the best medicine.
