Gardening, Sewing, and making memories with my family
My passion for gardening is evident with all my wildflowers I collect and canning I do in the summer. I truly enjoy all types of sewing and have made many items for my children and grandchildren. Making memories with my family and my faith in Jesus is the most important thing in my life.
