About Me

  • About Me: I am a freelance web and graphic designer. I have designed templates for LiveJournal, Xanga, Myspace, and the Style Archive. You can find my current portfolio on my site: http://www.carriep63.com. I am available for freelance work at this time. Contact me via email at carriep63@wi.rr.com. I am a devoted wife and mother of two. I have a huge crush on Jason Mraz. I love to read - I will read just about anything out there. I own thousands of books and I am usually reading several at one time. I also enjoy cooking. It's a fairly new pastime for me and I am having a ball with it! I also love music (is there anyone that doesn't, lol?) and you can find my music tastes on http://www.ilike.com. That site also has a music challenge game that is like a modern day "Name That Tune". It's super fun.
