I was an "end of the war" celebration (my
parents celebrated). I was born in San Diego and we moved to Texas when I
was 9 months old. I count myself as a true Texan. I eventually married and
moved to Ventura, CA. I later divorced and moved to Salem OR. I worked in
law enforcement for many years. When my health started to decline, I
decided to move back to Texas and now live across the street from my sister
in Magnolia, Texas. I am here to stay.
I have always been into some kind of art & crafts as far back as I can
remember. A friend in Ventura told me to go to the State Fair to see the
decorated eggs. I though...hmmm plastic eggs with thick braid (y u k).
Well, I was at the Fair..and I turned the corner and saw this amazing
display of eggs, REAL eggs. They were lighted; some played music, there
were jewelry boxes, dioramas, and many sparkled with lots of bling. I stood
in front of the booth and yelled "I wanna do this!!" That was in 1980 and I
have been egging ever since.
Although I am not able to make fancy eggs anymore, I can't break all ties
with the egging world. And I really miss teaching egg classes. I have made
many good friends over the years. That's how I met Ann Copeland, one of
the sweetest ladies the Lord ever made. We are bosom buddies. I still go to
shows to visit, and make Christmas ornaments for my Texas family. I hope to
get to see you at the next show. If I haven't met you, please introduce
yourself to me. I know we must have a lot in common. All eggers do!
