I am married (21 years), only furry kids (dog and 4 cats) and love to bake, cook and create new recipes. I am a Christian and a retired graphic artist. I also enjoy canning, country music, traveling, reading and am looking forward to learning how to crochet. I can never have too much kitchen stuff, constantly perusing online kitchen stores for new gadgets, bakeware, cookware and cookbooks -- I have 3 bookcases full.
