About Sherri...

Hello:
My name is Sherri. I am 47yo and live on the Vermont/New Hampshire border, about 20 miles from Dartmouth College and 2 hours north of Boston Massachusetts, with my husband of 25 years, two sons, our labrador retrievers (chocolate and yellow), 1 cat and a guinea pig. I have worked as a nurse for over 20 years in ICU and currently work part-time as a nursing supervisor. My sons are homeschooled and I have collected many postcards that are used in our homeschool when we are studying art, science, history and geography. My hobbies include, of course, postcard collecting and creating handmade postcards and envelopes, green-crafting (recycling materials into something useful) and I love to read. I make and sell recycled wool bags, accessories and handmade gifts and postcards and go by the name of VermontGreenDarner.

-Always something from one of my favorite albums!
