About ME

   I've suffered from chronic pain for over 15 years. Chronic pain makes every area of her life hard most of the time. I'm very thankful that my family supports me and all of my endeavors, including my husband, my kids, and my five grandkids, who don't quite understand chronic pain but see the effects it can have on mine and their lives. 

I've always enjoyed writing, but raising five children didn't allow much time to write and illustrate stories. So, I told my kids stories just about every night at bedtime. Stories I made up as I went along. 

When chronic pain occurred due to an injury, I became more limited physically. As my chronic pain worsened, I began using my creativity to focus on something other than my chronic pain. 

That creativity brought me to custom designing drink-ware and apparel and to now, writing and illustrating a fiction children's book titled GRANDMOTHER & THE KIDS TALK AND LEARN ABOUT CHRONIC PAIN Using 100's Of Sight Words!

From that came, making that book a part of a book series titled GRANDMOTHER & THE KIDS!

This book series revolves around a grandmother who suffers from chronic pain, her five grandkids, their adventures, and the topics that need to be discussed with kids. Often, the subject makes the conversation hard to have, but I still discuss them with the kids. 

During the adventures and talks in my stories, 100's of sight words are used, helping kids become better readers. 

I started creating personalized custom-designed drink-ware and custom apparel about eight years ago. It began as an outlet to deal with my chronic pain and turn it into something meaningful, something that would count for something! 

Starting out thinking I would design a few items has turned into me adding several more things to custom design for so many special occasions. I've created 100's of glasses and drink-ware times and so many other things for so many meaningful occasions. 

I have genuinely enjoyed custom designing each item that I've created. It's an honor to be a part of so many memorable and meaningful parts of others' lives.

I've designed many many items for special occasions, any occasions, weddings, birthdays, special milestones. Drink-ware items, apparel, memorial decals, memorial vases, you name it, I've custom-designed something for it! 

I'm so proud to add that in addition to designing these items, I'm now the author and illustrator of the fiction children's books series, GRANDMOTHER & THE KIDS.

My stories revolve around a grandmother and her five grandkids discussing subjects that aren't the easiest to discuss, challenges kids face, fun adventures, and interactive learning! 

 The characters in my series interactively use hundreds of sight words in each book, making it fun as they become better readers! 

Kids and adults are sure to enjoy and relate to the characters in this book series and the stories they tell! 

I'm excited to share my journey through my stories and adventures with you!
