Have been asked to work on another survey that I will be training in Denver CO the 24 to the 27th of Oct. And in Atlanta GA for the sponsor training 5 Nov to 10 Nov. 2011. I sitll live on a farm, we have horses, cattle and I had a whole bunch of puppies to get rid of this summer. Down to 1 boy. Still working with 1 for Granddaughter who is not quite back in their flooded home. Sorry so longwinded. Amy

I taught elementary school.
Was a manager of a mobile home park for Seniors in So. CA. (both sides of the same coin.
Best job was as a full time seamstress for a fabric store making display samples at a Beverly Fabrics store in Ventura, CA. Unfortunately due to lease problems, the store closed.

Restaurant manager, professional artist, web designer, craft materials designer.

The last was particularly fun - designing craft projects and tutorials for people who were interested in the creative possibilities of polymer clay and all the related materials. Sculpting, jewelry, home decor, dolls - you use a lot of different skills and materials with polymer.
