Hi! My name is Valerie and I’m a writer. I’m a lot of other things, too — a mom, a wife, an artist, a gardener, a quilter, a reader and lots more. I like to work outside. My favorite color is orange. I think rainbows are very cool. Fall is my favorite season. I like to take pictures with my camera. (For some of the things that live in my neighborhood, check out my photographs.) I like to spend time with my family and my friends. And I love to read.

Below are some links to some more things you might like to know or you might like to do. If you have a question or a joke or a picture you'd like to share, ask your parents if you can send it to me and maybe I'll post it here on my website!
