LaJune Lundquist:  

Life -- updated somewhat on January 23, 2015 :) Although I moved from California in 1983 and now reside in Virginia, I have lived in Atlanta, Georgia as well as Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Currently, though, I stay pretty much full time with my Mother in her home in the great city (NOT;) of Thomson Georgia.(All of my children were born in California.) Update: I am now back in Virginia pretty much full time. Mother passed away in March 2011, and I miss her dearly. I was a stay-at-home mom for a number of years, homeschooling the three youngest children until they completed high school. I began when my youngest was in the third grade and my oldest was a senior in high school. (The oldest was never homeschooled, but all of his children...in fact, all of my grandchildren...are being [or will be, or have been] home educated.) It seems that political activism was a large part of my family's life for many years. That is probably not surprising to some of you who might read this and remember my high school history. I never really aspired to become a public official, but I did run for office way back in 1986. (That is something I would never do again.) I never really had a career, although I did work in the banking arena for a few years, which eventually led me into the field of bookkeeping. (I also sold Home Interior and Gifts for 5 years.) Being a stay-at-home mom and training up my children (or having them train me up :) gave me more pleasure than anything else I did. My personal interests have always had something to do with sewing or crafts. My oldest son's wife taught me to cross-stitch, and I would say that if I had a passion for a craft, it would be that. In 2002 a new adventure began when I became co-owner of a scrapbooking business. After spending 2 years running ScrapFun events, store ownership became a necessary reality. The store was once known across the good old USA due to the writings of my daughter being published in various hobby industry venues. (Ahem...for ideas and editing of said articles, she turned to her dear Mother...me :) Sad to say, this is now past tense. The Cropper's Corner closed in Aug...Expand for more
