Thanks go to AlpHa at Simplify for this fun award!  Do check out her most wonderful blog!

To begin, tell 10 things about yourself that are true:

1.  My daughter was born at home (with 2 midwives).

2.  I love looking through a camera to catch the play of light on an object or to frame a scene just so.  I started taking photos when I was a young child.  I am most proud of a photo I took of my cousins when I was 10.

3.  I love riding my road bike.

4.  I haven't met a craft I didn't like.  2 days ago, I screen printed with my son.

(a little note:  My son and a friend, Nancy, bought screens and equipment, studied the procedures, and made our screens some weeks ago.  Nancy's etsy shop.

5.  I have a degree in zoology.

6.  I am a lover of cats.  My first cat was named Chocolate.

7.  I love to travel to places of beauty.

HERE is one of my travel posts.

8.  I love to read.  When I was young I would read late at night with a flashlight under the bed covers.

9.  I love the beach.

6 years old

10. With a friend, I once created and ran a camp (for 3 years) where we taught children nature, art, science, music, and movement.  It was a blast.
