    I've done many things in my lifetime, but spent the last 21 years as Administration Support/Secretary. I'm disabled now and can't work anymore due to major back problems.

    I am a seamstress in a large bridal shop. I love my job! I have a few years to go before I retire but I am looking forward to it. I used to work in a quilt shop and I have been a bank teller, news caster for local radio, day care provider, and for a long time was a full time mom. We have 6 kids so it was cheaper for me to stay home with the kids and do day care for other working moms. I would have worked to pay the babysitter. I have done lots of things. Sewing is my one huge favorite thing to do.
