Hello! I'm the Owner here (aka Admin, HGPgal, decogoddess...) Here’s a little about me… I was raised on Long Island, educated at U.C.S.D. and now reside in the Midwest with my husband and two sons. I’m a WAHM, Designer & Team Leader with Home & Garden Party and Owner of Decorating with HGPgal. I publish a monthly decorating ezine with prize drawings and write décor- and organization-inspired articles. I love to Scrap and work on home projects. Laundry is the bane of my existence (disposable clothes?). I enjoy Christian music and supportive friendships. What else do ya wanna know? ~~Lisa (-;

Hello everyone! I'm Nia. I currently reside in Atlanta, GA. I've lived here for two years, relocated from NYC. It's been a challenge but with finding groups like this and people like Lisa, it's getting easier. ;-) I have two children, Lydia 4yrs and Leah 15mths. I've been married for 7yrs this July. Most recently I have started a handbag E-boutique. Candy In Your Closet.com. It's been a blessing and it's just the start to other business plans in the works. Non profits though. I love decorating, Art, in general is in me. Most friends call me whenever they think they want to change their house, and I’m usually the one to select paint colors, new furniture, and room layout design. It makes me very happy to be blessed with something many go to school to develop, but God has allowed it to come naturally. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all. ~Nia

Hello members, First I want to thank Lisa for inviting me here! Thank you Lisa! Second, My name is Annette. I've been married for 15 years and have 4 children. I am currently studing to be an Interior Dcorator. I love to decorate of course and also love to decorate cakes. I am an independent consultant for Creative Memories. I love it! Did my first class and want to do more! I love working on hand jobs. I used to live in NY and would love to go back but it is way to expensive to live over there. Now I live in Massachusetts and I love it here but not more then NY. I was born and raised in NY so for me there is no other LOL. I'm trying to see if we can live in the country side of NY but I hear weather there is worst then MA. So I have to really think about it. OK I think I went over board. Glad to be here! Annette

Hi, received an invite to this group from one of the Yahoogroups Home and Garden message lists. I live in Margate, Florida with my husband Greg, and his 10 year old son (my stepson), Royce, our two cockapoos (dogs) Dilly and Doogie, and our cat, Dally. I'm not artistic at all. I love color schemes and looking at design and decorating magazines, though decorating comes a little tough for me. My mom is very talented (naturally), so she normally helps with my projects. I wish I had the talent that some of you ladies seem to have, but I'm going to try to learn. I work at a bipharmaceutical company and dh is a professional photographer. I figure over the next 1 and 1/2 years I'm going to try to learn about decorating, furniture placement, and colors. I will be needing all of your help with some of these things. Thanks for the invite! Deb in South Florida

Hello ladies, My name is Sharron and I will have been married 20 years this june. It will be a first in our family of divorces.My husband and I are strong belivers. We have a 8 year old son God blessed us with. I am now a WAHM. I was working as a RN until in May I had a spiritual falling out with my employer. God wanted me to come home to home school our son who is developmentally delayed with autism. I love being at home with my son. I opened 2 websites to sell hand made greeting cards and calligraphy items. Christian and non- Christian themes.I live in a big beatuiful blank house. An interior decorators dream. Hardly and furniture or accessories. I know what I want to do I'm just afraid it will look un organized. I don't want it to look cluttered. I want a country style home with early american and flea market theme home. Getting it put together so it can flow and not look so tacky is the key. I love watching HGTV. I am addicted. So now you all know about me. Sharron Williams, Founder of The Mile Hi Millionaires Club Owner of www.preciousshabbygifts.com and www.nathanscountrycottage.vstore.ca
