More about Carmen:""For me, it is all about the process of creating something with my hands and my palate, something that I can share with others".
I love my Savior and Friend Jesus Christ.
I love: My husband Terry, our 3 daughter's(and son-in-laws), our 5 grand kids, our home, Spain, the ocean, bread pudding, Avocados, watching humming birds, the sound of trains & Crickets on a hot summer night and seagulls at the ocean.
I am thankful for God's Sacrifice, Faithfulness, Grace, Unconditional Love & His Word, without it I am nothing! I am also very thankful for my health, my christian roots, Our pastor and church(TLC), Terry's creativity, my best friend Alice, and the rain.
I enjoy spending my time with my husband, family & friends; creating a hospitable home, cooking/baking, shopping, gardening, making & listening for "Puns" & collecting quotes.
My favorite color is brown. My favorite time of the year is Autumn. One of the greatest blessings in my life is having grandchildren!".
