About Me

July 2012

We live on a farm north of Turtleford Saskatchewan, Canada.  Turtleford has a population of about 500 and is one hour north of North Battleford or one hour east of Lloydminster for any of you who are familiar with those cities.

I have been married to Wayne since 1967 and I still would not trade him for anything!!  We have 5 daughters and 9 grandchildren.

 I owned and operated Morks Sewing for 29 years.  I taught stamping and scrapbooking classes there for once a week since 1998.  We became a Sears Catalogue Agent in 1996.  That's all changed now - I sold the store in Feb of 2006.  I still miss the place, especially the people!

With the abundance of spring water on our farm, DH decided to start a water bottling business in 2002.  That has kept us very busy.  We should have started it many years ago .... when I was much younger!  It is very heavy work.   Then April of 2009, he took the Managers position at our local Golf Course!  I am beginning to think I will never get to retire!

Due to health problems, DH sold the water business in 2011.  It started affecting his shoulders and feet.  He started driving semi on October 1, 2011 for 3Koil of Turtleford.  Maybe I can finally retire!!  Our 4^th daughter decided to go back to work as an Assistant for Investors Group in St Walburg, SK.  I offered to be her ‘babysitter’, with pay!  Having him around doesn’t interfere with my attempts at retiring!  He is so good!  He started kindergarten in 2012 so I don’t have him as much as I would like any more!

I have been stamping since 1997 or so and started scrapbooking in 2002.  They certainly go hand in hand.  I signed up with Stampin Up in May of 2006.  Obviously I figured my stamp collection of 5000, needed company!  In about 2010, I really got into digital scrapbooking using My Digital Studio by SU!.  I am totally hooked!
