About Me
You can find my artwork here or on Ebay.  cauldroncreations

I dabble in many different types of artwork/handwork.  I just love to get my hands into crochet, mosaic's, concrete, clay and BEADS!! I think I may have Adult ADD because I bounce from one project to another.  I usually have no less that 4 projects going at once.

You can find previous articles or pics of my work in the following publications.

I am a WAHM.  I have been married to my DH for 20 years. We have a 15 year old daughter.  My DH retired from the Air Force last October after 24 years of service.  We spent most of our enlistment at Beale AFB,  a 3 year assignment to Kadena AB, Okinawa Japan, and a few years at Edwards AFB.  DH also did some time in Korea, Saudi Arabia, Australia and Florida.

I just love sparkly things and currently my home is filled with paperweights, beads, jars, bottles, marbles etc....  We also love animals.  We have 3 dogs, 1 cat, 1 cockatiel, 1 tortoise, 125 gallon fresh water aquarium and a 75 gallon fresh water aquarium.
