About Me

After living in Kodiak,Alaska for 18 years and Sequim, Washington for almost an equal amount of time I have landed in Battle Ground,Washington. I live close to my daughter Renae and for the past three years, my mother-in-law, Lucille, has been living with me. The highlight of my life?? Being a Grandma!! Just wish I could be close to all 11 grandchildren.

Gallery of Inspirations

.

I've started selling some of my photos--as you can see from the examples above, they are called my "Gallery of Inspirations". I started creating them for my own pleasure and then thought that maybe, with just the right photo and just the right saying, they might bring a little encouragement, comfort, or happiness into the lives of others.

In order for you to obtain exactly what you want, my photos can be purchased with or without a saying printed on them, or you can request one of your own favorite quotes to be added to any of the photos. They are available matted or matted and framed.
