bakerwoman on Squidoo

  • Giant

I am an avid baker, a knitting fiend, a watercolorist, and an art collector. I also love nature and wildlife. A day job keeps me busy which I blend with my many interests when I have the time. Squidoo has become a medium for me to express my thoughts, interests and learn from fellow lensmasters.
