Hello and welcome to my little home in Southern Illinois! :) My name is Jennifer Quertermous and my husband is Gary. We have lived in our home for 10 yrs. I was born a 4 generation coal miner's daughter & have lived in the the same small town all of my life. I am also married to a coal miner and my father in law and all of my brother in laws are (you guessed it) coal miners.
Around the forum I am known as "busybee"! This is because in our home we have 3 children and they keep us moving! We are always at a sports or scholastic event!
I love to decorate my home in a primitive/cottage style. My husband and I enjoy making our own wooden crafts and furniture together. He measures & cuts and I paint, distress, & grunge. We enjoy the time spent together crafting out in his workshop. I also enjoy drawing. I have made many samplers but I cannot sew so I leave that part to my Mother or my good friend Dolly. :)
I am known, in my town, as a sort of party planner/organizer. People often call me for party tips & ideas. My children and I like to invite their friends over for "themed" holiday parties. We have an annual "all girls" VDay dinner for my daughter and her friends and this year we are even planning on a "Haunted Barn" and barn dance! :)
Of course with all of our activities comes pictures, which is another passion of mine. You can always find me taking photos of someone or something. I love to display my pictures in my home. If you come for a visit you may notice that they will change from season to season to fit my decor.
My husband and I love to garden and spend time with our children in the yard. It is so nice to sit out on the front porch (on furniture made with my husband's own two hands) and enjoy the beautiful landscaping together.
I have many friends and I love collecting new prim friends! So, come on in, enjoy our home, and I'll add you to my collection! :)
