My name is Jo. I have two grown sons (Justyn and Joey) so I am considered an empty nester. My husband travels often for work, so I decided that I should adopt two girls to keep me company. Lily is a two year old black lab and definately the baby of the family. Bailey is a three year old chocolate lab and she is the princess of the family. All of my children are spoiled rotten, biological or adopted! Due to health reasons I retired a couple of years ago and have been looking for something I could do from home. Then just resently I became interested in ebay (I should say addicted). At first I ordered all the cross stitch charts I had been searching for. Then I began to think about all the duplicate charts that my husband and I have collected over the years, (he had his, I had mine then we got married in 2003 and we ended up with ours-*-lots!) So I have decided that I am going to try selling some of them on ebay. I have had such fun and great transactions with all the folks I have purchased from! I promise I will always strive to maintain these high standards...

Just a little information about my crafting past. My maternal grandmother taught me all my crafting skills. We started with sewing when I was only seven years old. I was the only grand-daughter that lived near, and I was a sponge when it came to learning any and all she had to offer! Soon I graduated to embroidery and stamped cross stitch which was the popular needlecraft at the time. At about ten or eleven I also began to learn some crochet and she tryed to teach me to knit (I still can't)! I made all my own clothes all through school and did the family mending (with three brothers,well you can guess). And when my boys were very young I worked as a seamstress, so I would be home when they were. It was as an "older" adult that I discovered counted cross stitch. And once I did, I was hooked! I can't get enough. I can't walk away from a chart, a shop, a skein of floss, you name it...Which leads me to the present. Here I am a happy camper checking out each and every chart and kit that gets put on ebay and loving every minute of it! So when you get a chance check to see if I have any thing listed that you might love. You can bet I'll be looking for you....
