Did you note the sig of "ladyhen"?
"Helpmeet of Earl (since 1997)
Mama of Alyssa (age 4.5)"
This woman seems to define herself only through being someone's wife and someone's mother.
Almost as if she didn't exist as a person before being married and giving birth.
I wonder if it's more of a "doesn't exist as a person after being married and giving birth" - prior to that she was probably a person who's sole purpose was to find a fine upstanding Christian boy to be the helpmeet for.
I've seen a couple of things on the TV over here recently about the branch of the Christian fundy right that thinks women's only reason for existence is to be the wife of one generation of fundy male and the mother of another[1]. Any girl children are brought up with the sole aim of getting married - no chance for a career or anything like that.
[1]And apparently scrapbooking as you pointed out. Maybe that's a 'safe' hobby they can have - not much danger of being exposed to dangerous or idea or meeting any of them godless heathens while your working on cataloging your scrapbooks
