Hello - A New Member

I just wanted to take a moment to say hello and introduce myself. My name is Julie and I live in Florida. Some of you may have even heard of the town I live in: Zephyrhills. No, I was not the Powerball winner back in June :( .  That would have been too easy, lol.

Anyway, I fell in love with cross stitch over 10 years ago and found it to be a great stress relief while studying at Michigan State University. I like a variety of concepts/designs and haven't really figured out who my fave designers are. I do love Margaret Sherry designs mainly because they are fun! I am also fond of larger designs, as you can see in my blog. Besides cross stitch, I enjoy photography and writing. Also evidenced in my blog.

I work for the State of Florida as a Veteran's Employment Rep. I am a Navy veteran. I have a couple of cats that are at once the love of my life and bain of my existence (those of you who love cats may understand). I look forward to learning and sharing from you all on this blog. I have stitched at least 1 MS design, but they are on my portable drive which is currently back home over 1500 miles away (I am in Denver for training for my job). I will post when I return home.
