~~~ A Little about Me ~~~

Hello I am a self taught Artist.
Mother, "House-Keeper"Ha,Ha,and,"Wife"

I use to be a "Dancer" No, Not A Stripper I am married to
"Dennis William Erickson"...
We have been married, for over sixteen years.
and have four children. We, reside in what I,
call the roaming corn feild's, and hill's of LaMoille IL.
In the country where there's nothing but tree's sky and
feild. My husband,for you of those that do not know,is a
Brick,Mason. "Erickson, Masonary" he runs the company with
his Dad,Uncle, in Dekalb, IL. He, also has done work in numerous
places in IL.From Rockford,to Flordia he's worked in Block,concrete,
until, he became a Brick-Layer. While, I sit,at home
and,crochet,sew,
bake,cook,clean, raise kids... in the boonies. I am oringinally from
Elgin. So,the "Green achers" thing, is still new to me! Even, after
almost eight years in the country... Of Anne, Of Green,Gables.
It, is nice living here though! The people are so nice!
and,friendly.
It's as though every thing is home spun. Although, I have been a
house wife or, Home-Maker, all my life... I have,yet found the time
to pursue my real love in life! Besides, my husband and childern.
and, that is Art! and, I came upon these pages while I was surfing
the net,and thought... Why? Not? So Hear, "I" am. For, those of
you that are bored already... I'm sorry... Hopefully it will get
better... L.O.L. Well, if you haven't guessed by now? I also
enjoy writting... I write, Love Poetry, Children stories... short,
stories. I love to paint when ever the chance I get too. Which,
hasn't been to recent. I collect,every thing it seem's Childrens,
Books, Dolls, yes even "Killer, Dust, Bunnies" Well, that's about
it for now! But, I will be back! Oh, know right! to post some, of
my writting.

Take, care! and have a wonder-full Day!

Hello" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="10">! I told you I would be back!

Here are some samples of my poetry
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ Love is Love ~~~ Stay By My Side
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please say you
won't leave
No matter what we say Please say you
or do...
Our minds,hearts, You will always
travel as if through care
time...
How important
Memories,dreams,a few... you are to me
Spoken words soft every thing
whispers we are to
sought for treasures, share
shining and new... I just
hope
Broken lives,often you are
measures un-true... aware
But, Love,is Love...
In any-thing we lose,
gain.
In our being saddness
remain...

For which joy,is to
reclaim...

With-out it our soul,
wouldn't be the same!
