About Me

My photo
debbie bailey
Georgia, United States
Beauty and creativity mean a lot to me. This hard life is made easier by making, sharing, and enjoying it. My life is made more lovely by our five children and six grandchildren. I'm a writer, photographer, and an aspiring watercolorist. Above all, I desire to be a wife of noble character and mother whose children rise up and call her blessed.
