I live in Texas. I enjoy quilting, gardening, cookbooks and have an obsession for recipes!! I have 4 children, 2 dogs, 2 cats, a bird, fish, stock show animals (cows, pigs, etc.) I basically own a small zoo. I have a full-time job - plus I handle the books for my husbands shop. I really do enjoy reading through recipes trying to plan out meals, re-decorate a different room in the house or re-organize a closet - getting the kids all in bed early!!
