Introduction Post

Hey all! Here for the first time and working on diving into this thing. 😄 My name is Helen Watson, and I'm almost 40. I have 2 great kids. One who will graduate HS in the spring, and one who has a ways to go. I have a loving husband and we are living with his parents right now to help out all involved.

 I am not really good at talking about myself, but I'll take a bash at it.  I am a crafter working on starting a business selling what I make.  Truthfully, I've been working on it for a while, but the long and bumpy road has just made me more determined, I think. I make various types of jewelry as well as crochet and knit.  I am working on learning how to make incense and moisturizing soaps, but the progress has been slow. I have made some good non-combustible incense, but it's the combustible ones like sticks and cones that most people want to buy (less mess), and they are a little more expensive to make.  But I digress...

 I like pretty much all types of music, though I can be picky about the artists. I love to read, write stories, draw, and paint.  I am also working on being a published author, but have yet to finish my first book, or have the courage to actually turn it in when it is done... But I have the support of great friends and family, so I think that will turn into a moot point when the book is done. I'm not afraid to dream or work, so I have that going for me too.😉

I work as a merchandiser part time, homeschool my kids (through an online public school), work on my crafts, and take care of as much as I can as I am able. I have some physical and health issues that sometimes hold me back, but I work hard not to let them hold me down, so no pitty parties please. 😎

 Well, I am not sure what else can be said right now. I am glad to be accepted as part of this community, and hope to meet and learn from as many people as possible. So, I will post again when I can think of some good ideas. 

Later! 😄
