Hi,
My name is Jenn aka Tommy's Mommy of Jenn's Creations


My son, Tommy, is autistic and he is my inspiration for so many things in my life. Without him, I wouldn't be who I am today. He has taught me so much in life and made me open my eyes and change in ways I never would have on my own. I am so grateful to have been chosen by God to take on this challenge with my son.

I am a Christian and always strive to put my service to Christ first in my life. God has blessed me with three beautiful children. My oldest, Justin, works for the D,M & E Rail Road and is never home. My only daughter, Sarah, is a single parent of a special needs baby, they are my pride and joy, I know that some day they will have to move out of my home, but I will never let them move out of my life!!! And little Tommy, my Autistic son... Well he's a professional 2nd grader!!! He is the love of my life, and no one can take that special spot in my heart that he has made just for us.

God has also blessed me with a beautiful little grandson whom with God's special love and guidance, will one day be running from the girls! Right now we're just trying to master one small step at a time. Once again, God does not give us anything that without Him we can not handle. This little guy is full of life's challenges. But with God by our side, he'll be just fine. His sister who is just 15 months younger than him also face many challenges.

Recently I have also been given a grand daughter who is the most beautiful baby in the world.. believe me...she really is.

I am a photographer, free lance writer, web site designer and I even do some motivational speaking.

I have been playing with my Minolta SLR 35mm Film cameras since H.S. and always loved taking photos. My bag of choice is not a purse but just a bag that will fit my camera nice and safe along with a debit card and a photo ID. What else does one need? (The diaper bag always has a spare camera in it also) It's just one of those things.. 'Used everywhere, never leave home without it!'

I like to use my images in web design and in IncrediMail letters. Also I am an avid user of Coral Paint Shop Pro and almost always will use a photo I took to finish an assignment vs using the image that they provide for that particular assignment.

I advocate the importance of a healthy lifestyle which includes nutrition, the healing power of prayer, and I encourage those who are struggling with physical, mental and emotional handicaps to turn to their faith and become involved in a Church Community for support and strength.

I believe that all things happen for a reason, and all things have their own seasons. I am blessed to be a mom to an autistic child and a grandma to a physically challenged grandbaby. God would not give us something that without Him we could not handle. I find strength in faith and prayer.

We are all on this journey called LIFE together, and we must all do our part to "Be The Change" that we ourselves wish to see in this world. We must start with ourselves, then teach this method of "The Golden Rule" to our Children... and then to each and every person that we meet, for they will learn by watching and listening to us...

Thanks for stopping by my little place on the web here at Flikr.com

Lotsa Hugs & God Bless,

Tommy's Mommy aka ~Jenn
