A Note From Wanda:



Ever since I was a child, I wanted to be a writer. When I was in the second grade, I wrote my first poem about a moth. Luckily, I received encouragement from my teacher. During my teen years, I wrote skits that my church teen group performed during special holidays.



It wasn't until 1980, that I t...

My first hand-spun yarn!

Captain's Log, Stardate 01.22.2010
