I am a full time mother of 4. I work from home as a freelance writer and scrapbook/journaling designer and teacher. I am currently expanding my website to focus more on the homemaking side to my life such as cooking, homemade soft furnishings, crafts and a whole lot more. **I am looking for regular article writers on a variety of subjects from book reviews to decorating tips, recipes to crazy family days out...if you're interested go see the unfinished site for some idea what we are about,if you are still interested drop us an email - studio@sparkle-the-imagination.co.uk**
Things that make me who I am ~
Growning up I always wanted to be a PE teacher and a support English teacher but back in the 80's it was pretty much the done thing to follow the track parents set so I ended up going through a variety of office/clerical and managerial courses, gaining qualification and experience till I became a Managing Director of our family business. I held this position for almost 9 years when I left to raise my 3rd child instead of my MIL doing the caring and having all the joy of my daughter. I started an employment agency from home, ran it successfully for 2 years then sold it. Since then I have dabbled in some fun jobs, but always come back to being self employed because it works so much better with my choice to be a mother. Now, almost 21 years after my first child I am still self employed! Sparkle the Imagination was founded in 2007 after a revamp from my former business style. StI was the platform for me to design a variety of scrapbooking/journalling projects, sell them as classes on the website and also teach them in schools, groups, community centres and more. My passion is making and recording memories for our next generations. As the economy set in and competition got nasty I pulled away from the mainstream sites, forums, groups etc and slowly began to develop other skills to share, The English Homemaker is the upcoming venture I speak of.
I am a Latter Day Saint, (Lds) I truly believe in God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. I enjoy church activities, church worship and all the things that goes with it but most of all I enjoy talking and sharing the gospel with my children and seeing their understanding and example shine in their lives.
As well as being a mum and my business venture, I enjoy a range of wholesome things such as reading, sewing, blogging, (does facebook count as wholesome??!) chatting with some good minded people on and offline, decorating, walking, being on the beach, lunch with friends, bbq's in the dark and a lot more. There is so much out there to do that i'm convinced that even in Heaven we get to do them...so otherwise it would be so mean to not fit them all in during this lifetime, doncha think? :)
As a freelance writer I am always looking for subjects to write about, places to showcase my better pieces and sites that capture my interest and inspire me.....
