I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a MARRIED Mother of two and a Grandmother of two. I attend college to keep from being bored, and am taking a Jewelry class. Life is still an adventure..... sometimes! I enjoy art in many forms, love to work in three dimension. And in all kinds of materials. Love to learn to use new mediums from wood, to clay, cloth, paper, rock, you name it. And anything in miniature is fascinating to me. The smaller the better, as long as there is skill involved. I don't like to receive letters from men who are interested in romance or sex. If that is what you want go elsewhere. I'm taken.... I don't like long debates about politics or the unfairness of life.. get over it and move on. Since I have a daughter who teaches dance, you can guess I'd like to meet people who dance especially ballet, but just about any kind is fun to watch. MyGen Profile Generator
