I'm a creative work in progress.   I whole-heartedly believe that when you create something everyday, it helps keep the crabby-ness at bay.   I enjoy a wide range of crafts - cross stitch, needlepoint, sewing and papercrafts.   I'm also a planner enthusiast - after much searching, I've found planner peace with Me and my Big Ideas Happy Planner!   I am happily married - we just celebrated 32 years, and have 2 children.   I have lived in the great state of Illinois my whole life!
