About Me

Who in the heck is Jenna, anyways?!
Jenna is me! Okay, so that tells you nothing, right? grin My family: two children, girl/5/Mackie and boy/2/Joe. My husband is Jereme. Our pets are Kissy (black calico female cat, born on Mothers' Day 1998) and Harold (our cyber-parrot fish, he's a MOPy fish and is about 3 weeks old now!). I love birds and feed all the local finches, wild canaries, jays, and black-birds (or crows, if you will) that come to my sliding glass back doors telling me it's time to eat! We all love horse-back riding and being out in the country, camping, and going up on Mt. Hood. I am a quilter and love making my own designs, however very few of them get implemented as I create soooo many designs! I first became interested in quilting when my great-grandmother made me my first quilt, it was a pretty ugly patchwork thing, but made with so much love and care (she didn't have a lot of money for fabric, but had a huge heart!) that I still treasure it to this day. In fact, my son uses it on his bed right now! I made my first quilt (a crib quilt) for my daughter just before she was born, I was a mere 20 years old then... how time flies! ;o) I'm a self-taught and ever-learning herbologist... or probably more accurately just a lover of herbs and their many uses, both practical and functional as well as ornamental and cosmetic. I have been along the route: in the military (USAF), a single mother, in low-income housing, a working-single mother, a married working mother, and a married stay-at-home mother (this is currently). I also home taught my daughter for two years, before putting her in public school. Soon, my son will be home taught too! I have had a lot of hard times as a parent, as well as a lot of wonderful "Kodak" moment times, too. IMHO, parenting is the hardest, most important, and most rewarding~as well as the least rewarding!~job that any human being will ever have! I grew up in a single parent household until I was about 15, when I gained a step-dad and two step-brothers. I also gained a real love of living in the country, even though I had lived "there" for several years before the marriage, it hadn't connected in my young mind, the difference between living in the city and living in the country... Also that: You can live in the city and still be country, it's all in the mindset and the heart! Anyways, I've learned alot from both of my parents, and love them both dearly. I'm currently involved in helping them set up their own website, as well as maintaining my own! I'm a busy girl, eh? Soon, I'll be helping my nieces and sister-in-law build their own webpages to go inside my website (in the Adoptees section of the site). I have some goals for this website... They are few but very important to me: To help as many people as I can! If there is information that I have that I feel is important for others to know I will post it on this website, and probably in one of the email lists that I'm on too! To make sure that all my pages are kid safe even though most of the material isn't targeted towards children. To teach others and hopefully inspire their creativity! I love crafts, especially quilting, as an outlet for my creativity... if you have an original design that you would like posted on this site, please send it in and I will be happy to include it with the proper credit for you! To have fun and learn! I'm having a blast (and a few headaches, too!) learning how to create my own graphics... someday soon you just may see a new addition to my website! The GRAPHICS section! Free Graphics, that is, I think it would be best termed, as is popular, as "link ware" that you can have for free so long as you give me a link back to my page! Naturally, many of them will involve the topics that are so near and dear to my heart: quilting, crafts, gardening, family life, as well as some classical types of graphics, the soft colors and bold colors... florals as well as "manly" stripes, etc. So those are my goals! And that's me! I hope you feel like you know me a little better, perhaps you could send me an e-mail and we can get aquainted? You never know when you're going to find a new friend!
