I am a retired graphic design instructor from Santa Rosa Junior College. I live in Windsor, California with my husband, Greg, my two toy poodles, Zinfandel and Montana and my three little Serama hens, Sussie, Cotty and Gilly. I have a wonderful life filled with all sorts of creative pursuits: cooking, entertaining, gardening, painting, crafting, writing… My mother used to complain,"Carmen, everything you do is an art project." What a compliment!
