I'm a stay at home mom, artist, and sometime poet with a cookie addiction. Which is in addition to my out-of-control art supply addiction... I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with my DH and DD who has been diagnosed with Autism. Visit my blog loudlife-laurieblaumarshall.blogspot.com/ for more pics of my art, family, projects and poetry.
