OMG! I just created a blog...inspired by one of my daughter's friends who has an AWESOME wedding blog. Wait until I tell her I did this ALL BY MYSELF!!

Now that I'm here, not sure what to say! Those of you who know me are aware that I love to keep busy with lots of different activities. I work full-time as a Human Resources Director for a GREAT company in Ft. Wayne, IN. When I'm not busy with work, my passions are (in order)

• cooking


• knitting


• card-making


• scrapbooking


• sewing

I'm a single mom...my daughter Annie, is 25 and has been married to Josh for one and a half years. Wish we had known about wedding blogs when working on her wedding. We think it came out splendid, but there certainly are lots of great ideas on the blogs I've seen.

I'm hoping that I can use my blog to keep in touch with family and share some of the things I enjoy. I also hope that I'll meet new folks outside of the family who enjoy the same things I enjoy.

That being said, I'll end today's entry with a shot of my little paradise...my tiny cottage in northern Indiana, passed down through three generations. I cannot imagine being without this little place to go where my soul is fed and my heart is warmed. More later!
