Baby Gnome
The only baby that I will create. Yeah- children are not in my life plan but this one is pretty adorable, right?!
Beautiful Gnome
I found making gnomes to be therapeutic, creative, and meditative. Each gnome would take about 5 hours to make. Little things would inspire me. I loved this one "You are beautiful".
Italian Gnome
I was planning a trip with my aunt to go to Sicily. We were going to track down my great-grandparents hometowns as we ate our way around the island. Unfortunately, she cancelled on me and I still have not made that trip. I am planning on applying for my dual Italian citizenship and my new … Continue reading Italian Gnome

As I was writing my blog and going through old papers, I found a small stamp collection from … Continue reading Priority Mail
Another new house 1991 – 1993
We moved to Ocean Springs, MS and many things happened the next two years. I went to a YMCA summer camp. We would sneak past the property line when the camp counselors were not looking. One day we found a pile of tiny diary keys next to a rotted burlap sack deep in the woods. … Continue reading Another new house 1991 – 1993
