Welcome to the Village, glad to see your making yourself at home. :apple: I'm looking forward to getting to know you better! So please let me know how you picked your interesting name and a little about you.

Me, I'm Darlene the mom of 2 older teens, wife to my hubby  & enjoy cooking, gardening ,reading & goofing around. Also enjoy a good martini from time to time.;)

Teehee! Thank you for the welcome!

I am a 22 year old woman from Phoenix, Arizona.
I'm a voracious bargain-hunter and a vintage clothes junkie, wife for three years to a budding screenwriter, and mother to just one "kid" (a rescued kitty named Emma). Over the years, I've found myself more and more drawn to the thrifty life...I gain a lot of satisfaction at getting what my little family needs for less, and I know it'll come in handy in the future, should our family grow.

My name comes from the neon-pink party light in the shape of a martini glass that sits atop my entertainment center in my living room. When my husband and I collaborate on a writing project, we turn the light on! It's jokingly referred to as the "writing light" in my house :) Sort of like the lightbulb coming on, if it looked like a cocktail...so, when wracking my brain for an online moniker, "NeonMartini" was the first thing that caught my eye. :)

Thanks again for the welcome, I look forward to contributing. Already I've gained from visiting...a few freebie offers already sent off for!

Welcome to the village.

So glad that you are jumping in and posting.

We look forward to getting to know you.
