I knit, crochet, paint and occasionally jumble everything together, usually with mixed results... I'm always wanting to try something new and and generally disappointed that there aren't enough hours in the day to do everything I'd like.
I live in a beautiful area of Southern California just north of Los Angeles. 20 minutes to the city - but look out my window at the National Forest.
Favorite colors: Turquoise. Orange. Indigo Blue.

Thank you for the wonderful vintage Oregon postcards for the PaperCutz July WTA. All of the Oregon scenes are familiar to me except the church in Scappoose, even though I did live there in the 50s, I seeing it. I have camped at Silver Creek Falls and enjoy both the Columbia Gorge and Oregon coast. So, these are nice choices for my collection. Thank so much.
