I am the mother of 4 and Grandmother of 4. I worked at a company for 9+years then was laid off in July 2011 due to the economy. That was devastating financially and emotionally. I wish I could say I dusted myself off and went out there and found a job. Quite the contrary....I am living with chronic back pain as well as other physical issues that prohibit me from working. I am severally depressed and find solace in crafting.
