| Introduction | This December I celebrated my 25th anniversary with Scott, the love of my life! I have two beautiful grown daughters, Hilary who is 23 and Chelsea who is 20. I also have a gorgeous granddaughter, Gabriella, who was born to Chelsea in April of 2007. I have a very lively household consisting of both daughters, a granddaughter, three dogs, two cats, and four birds, and of course my husband! I love to knit and crochet and teach others these skills as well. I enjoyed teaching both skills to my daughters and I'm living for the day Gabby is old enough to learn! One of my favorite things to do while knitting or crocheting is listen to audio books. The most recent excitement for me has been starting up my Etsy shop a couple of weeks ago. I love life and enjoy my family and friends! Guess I should mention, I'm also a major animal lover, especially where dogs are concerned. And to hit the high notes: at age 9 I became a big sister, at 15 I met my husband, at 16 I became a born again Christian,at 18 I became a hairdresser, at 19 I got married, at 21(and 23) I became a mother, at 32 I became a bank teller, then a vegetarian and at 42 I got to be a Grammy! |

Your pajamas have duckies on them. Why did you switch from choo-choos?
Because I've never seen a child crazier about ducks than my granddaughter, Gabby! We have tons of them for bath time and various plush ones. Also, she has a real thing for any pajama pants I'm wearing, especially if they are silky. So, my "ducky" pajamas are definitely satin!
