Why you want to know more about me is anyone’s guess, but since you asked…

I have been a follower of Jesus Christ since October 2, 1983, when I accepted His forgiveness and allowed Him to become the Lord of my life. He is number one to me and everything I do, think, or say is affected by my relationship with Christ. That includes the way I run my business, the clients I choose to work with and every relationship I enjoy.

In addition to being an avid crafter, card maker, scrapbooker, crocheter and more, I am a professional writer with decades of experience writing and editing articles, ezines and newsletters, press releases, business correspondence and more. Being a work-at-home-mom (WAHM) – alas with an empty nest! – I work strictly online from the comfort of home. This provides me the luxury of devoting time to life in addition to helping my overworked husband (an upholsterer in his own right) to support us financially.

My Websites include…

• DarleneBishop.com, this one, which I’m gradually converting back to my personal and crafting site.

• Frugal Fancy, which is filled with frugal living tips, money saving resources, budgeting tools, hints and ideas to help you and your family survive in these tough economic times we live in.

• Quality Business Writing, a writing and business building blog designed to help small, home-based and online business owners and WAHMs build their businesses online and off.

• Crochet Favorites, where I share links to free and low-cost crochet patterns, crochet ebooks and more of your favorite crochet information online.

If you’re interested in my writing, please view my writing portfolio and read some of my articles. My schedule is pretty full, but I do have room for one or two more clients. So contact me if you think I may be the writer you’re looking for. And if you need a handmade greeting card or custom crochet, I’m here for that, too!

Look forward to working with you in the future… God bless!
