If you have sent me an invite to join a group and I have not responded or joined, or posted anything in a group for a while, please do not be offended - it's just that I have health issues that limit my time on the computer.

I've been doing a variety of arts and crafts since I was about 8 years old. My grandmother taught me to crochet and knit when I was 8. My MIL gave me a bunch of sequins and beads when I was about 23 - been playing with beads ever since - and I just havent stopped exploring different arts and crafts.

I have always loved to paint, and I'll paint on just about anything.

I love flickr and I frequently get lost on here - it's like taking a trip around the world.
