I've been creatively self employed my entire adult life.  First, as a dancer/choreographer (a collision with a tow truck ended that dream). Next, I gathered, dried, and arranged flowers for re-sale,in addition to owning a little shoppe filled with my creations, displayed among odd vintage finds.  This all took place before becoming a MOM, which is my favorite job. When my daughter was a toddler I decided to open a small town cafe.  The first day I worked in a restaurant was the day I opened one. Talk about learning on the job!  Over the following ten years, while frying up tenderloins( a north Missouri favorite), baking my famous Iowa chops, and making endless pans of bread pudding with caramel sauce I somehow found time to renovate two old houses.  One of which is our home, Green Acre.  It once housed a flower shop and greenhouse and I purchased it on the spot (but that's another story).  These last two years, after selling the cafe, I opened a tiny flower shop. You might say I went a little nutty from confinement. But it was during that time that I discovered, deep down, what I've always known...  I am my own woman, and I MUST create. Everyday.  Which brings me to this, I'm a work-at-home mom with many talents that I'd like to share. And, that's just what I intend to do.  I'm going to create my heart out!
