About Me

I was Raised and grew up in Irvington ,

I also have an addiction ~
It's CROCHETING!
I've been creative since I was 13 years old.
I have been taking photos since I was 18 years old.
I was born with a learning disability
that was never properly diagnosed
until I was 50 years old and til I was 55.
I was diagnosed with mild Autism/asbergers,
ADHD,Sensory Processing Disorder
and Central Auditory Processing Disorder..
I was also born with myopia,
I lived my entire life not being able to see close up or distance.
I've struggled my entire life to get where I am today.
I struggle with everyday things normal people take for granted.
I was told the right side of my brain works better then the left, the right side of your brain is your creative side. And this is why I am very Creative......
I am very big on giving back to the world ~
In 2009 I started crocheting hats for Cancer people.
I donated 50 hats to Centra State Hospital, Freehold,NJ
and 50 hats to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, NJ.
I donated about 70 hats to the poor kids in a NJ school.
I made 47 scarves for people that lost everything they own in a fire in Jackson,NJ.
And today Sept 2012 ~
I crocheted 50 hats and they were shipped to "Soldiers' Angels",
they are donating the hats to Disabled and Homeless Vets.
{ this is the stuff that makes my HEART SMILE }

Thank you so much for your donation of caps and scarves.
Without people like yourself, Soldiers' Angels would not be able to do for our Troops and Veterans.
May God bless you.
Sincerely,
