I grew up in southeastern Ohio. I joined the USAF in 1986, and saw a little bit of the world before my active duty ended in 1990. I am currently living north of Atlanta, GA, with my husband, two boys, and various animals. I am a print junkie - I read everything - I write, and am always making things; I cross stitch and do beaded jewelry currently, but have done stained glass, thrown pottery, various kinds of sewing, and other crafts. By day, I work in manufacturing, as product data analyst/BSA; by night, I am Head Cook and Chief Bottle Washer, and artiste extraordinaire.
